That is the service I use. The point I was attempting to make is that 
you can automate the process. One click while the person is visiting
your page and the translator is loaded with your URL already in place.

language of their choice.

You can try it at:

http://www.networx.on.ca/~jwalker

also I have put up a new search engine at

http://www.networx.on.ca/~jwalker/search.htm

NO MORE "ADDRESS NOT FOUND" ERRORS 

If you're looking for a quick and easy way to search domain names, check 
out WebSitez. This service searches domain names and ONLY domain names, 
which can come in very handy when you only know part of a site's Web address. 

Now a little more about the translator.

I have had this up for about a month on the majority of the 52 pages at my
site. 
You will find that links are NOT active while on the translated page.

The comments on translations I have received from users range from
excellent to
hilarious.

My site serves the entire global village and therefore I feel that a poor 
translation is better than no translation at all.
