    I was just curious if there is a software or plugin that would allow me to view a foreign website in English!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Google toolbar can translate some languages into English -- although not well and obviously The Fish (http://babelfish.altavista.com) does the job as well.

    In general, the autotranslations are adequate, but not near perfect and you can benefit from them best if you are good in languages overall -- not specifically in the language you're translating, but you understand that various languages have different kind of grammatical structures that don't have anything in common with Latin languages (English, Italian, French, German, Swedish, etc are in grammatical sense very close to each other, whereas Finnish, Hungarian, Japanese, most Asian languages don't have virtually anything similiar to English structure) and can read the material keeping this in mind.
