Ah, gotcha.

So, do you by chance have any experience with any other such programs?

One of my friends recommended a Mandarin Chinese *instruction* program 
called HyperChina, which is only available for the Mac, by the way 
(yeehah!).  It seems to include some strictly-cultural, non-language 
education too, so I'll look over the website for it 
(http://www.sinologic.com/hyperchina) again;  perhaps it may have one or 
more translation capabilities too.
