Someone passed me a hint for those of us who don't read Polish so well that I had never heard of.
If you type the web address of a non-English web site into Google and click search, the first entry that comes up should be the website that you were looking for - and next to it should be a hyper-link that reads: [ Translate this page ]
I was blown away by the results when I click on the hyper-link. That page, and apparently all subsequent pages on that site, are translated by Google into English.
It's not perfect of course, and for all I know I'm the last person to figure this out - but for navigating web pages to get the info I need - I was really impressed. It certainly beats copying text and pasting into Babblefish.
Update - Turns out there's an easier way to use Goole Translate - Go to the website:
http://translate.google.com. From there you can eitehr cut and paste the text, or you can paste the url in directly. I think it saves a step.
