Best online translation service like Babelfish?

I am looking at apartment rentals in Madrid and damn silly Spaniards didn't think of people like me, the non-Spanish speakers.

Anyways, I use Babelfish at the moment but I am looking for a site that has a firefox plugin or something that I can just click on and it will translate it. Does such service even exist?

Anyone?

    I've only ever used Babelfish - for French, but have found it a bit formal, so end up cobbling something together based on Babelfish's translation.

    If you live near a university, maybe post a notice around the school looking for a native speaker, or student. Pay them like 50 bucks or lunch or something for a few hours of sitting with you at a computer to fully understand the postings and perhaps draft a stock letter asking questions to send to the would be landlord.

    Exactly what I needed. Thanks.

    Spherick: these online translators are sufficient :) Thanks for the idea though.

    You should review the translation once the webpage does it job, I have encountered some mistakes while testing the Spanish to English feature.

    Hear my warnings, unbelievers. We have raised altars in this land so that we may sacrifice you to our gods. There is no hope in opposing the inevitable. Put down your arms, unbelievers, and bow before the forces of Chaos!
