well actually, now you've got me interested in 
both.  For art pages, all I need is enough of a 
translator to be able to read where the artwork is 
so I can admire it. (trial and error works... but 
it's annoying no?)
But for something like Yahoo Japan a more in depth 
translator would be better, I suppose like what 
you said, an actual program. Any suggestions 
though on what kind of program and what price 
ranges you're talking? how well do they work?
