That's Babelfish, http://babelfish.altavista.com/
It's been around a long time, and is decently good. I also use it to
respond to people who write us in Spanish, French, Portuguese, German,
whatever. You have to write clear english - not too much slang - to get a
good translation, and I like to translate it back again to double-check the
meaning stays. I've actually had compliments on my French language skills
from people I've written using it, even though I'm terrible at French
without it.

p.s.: the Babel Fish was a fictional creature in Hitchhiker's Guide the the
Galaxy or whatever that could translate between any two languages, hence
the site name.
