Google Chrome does an excellent job translating the french side of the forum to english. it recognizes you're looking at a ton of french and a drop down thing comes up that says "this page is in French. Would you like to read it in English?"
and you click "translate" and about 15 seconds later the whole page will be in moderately well translated english.
i was surprised how well it did it since i know some french i know that direct translations seldom make any sense at all.
worth a shot if you're curious.
i know babel fish does it and you can go to google and do it that way i just loved how easy it was with google chrome.
