Using my Opera browser I could select sections of text and read the English 
(or close to it) version. Some parts are quite entertaining -
"With the paddle of the 3 2nd millenium, all the computers are occupied by 
BillumGatus... All? Not! Those of a populated village of irreducible 
Finixiens resist still and always to the invader.
And the life is not easy for the garrison of microcerfs embedded in their 
floods of bugs and cut off behind their service pack..."

Opera uses a service which can be found at - 
http://translation.lycos.com/  An URL can be pasted into the site and the 
entire site is translated.  Not always perfect, but enough to get an 
idea.  I'm sure there are similar sites around as 
well?  http://babelfish.altavista.com/  is meant to be a goody as well.

Lots of Luck :o)

   Nathan
