Well, there's no Translate under my Services menu, but given that you
say it costs $5, I assume this is a piece of add-on shareware. From
where do you get it?
There is, of course, Sherlock, but it might be handier to have this
"Translator" directly available.
Mind you, machine translations can be pretty dodgy, so unless you know
the language into which the translation is made, it's often better to
try the original language first to save both sides from embarrassment!
