Well, as good as translation tools can help you understand any other
kind of page! I've used the Babelfish service at Altavista
(http://babelfish.altavista.com/) to translate a few eBay auctions
with reasonable success, although I only won one of them. You do have
to tread carefully to make that you do understand it properly of
course, but with a bit of common sense it can work pretty well.
Usually.
