Bondi,
I would wonder how good the translation of english to Italian is. I gave
it a simple test to translate "Good evening" into Italian. It came back
with "Buoa sera" which I know is wrong. So then I asked to translate it
back to English its response was "Buoa evening". So much for its
translating ability

You should try Uni-verse Inc's translating chat system. I think you
will like the quality of translation better than Babelfish. You can
test the chat system at http://www.uni-verse.com Just enter the web
site and click on the chat with us now link.
