    My favorite is "poststoneware" (postgres from Spanish to English on Babelfish)

It's nice to have, but I doubt it will be of any help in the long run.
I did some tests and the english generated is worse than mine :-)... but
the biggest problem is that it tries to translate the sample SQL
statements (from spanish to english!), and the result is really weird.
Looks like it first attempts to correct the spelling, and when running
a spanish speller over english text the results can be very hilarating
:-D  Translating that gives meaningless text anyway.

Altavista's Babelfish has the same problems...
