Translation
 
Is there any computer program that would translate my letter from English to French?

It depends on the type and purpose of your letter. If it is a straightforward request for information or hotel reservations, Babelfish might well suffice, but if it is at all complicated or needs any sort of nuance, I would not trust it to any computer program. Try your local high school or college French teachers, and be prepared to pay for their services. Good translation is not easy.

zap your letter over to me and I'll give it a go! <BR> <BR>then again, I am SURE there are much better French speakers on this board than me...

Zap it to Beth, she'll have a go, and she can zap it to me if she feels she needs help. <BR> <BR>Beth, cela vous fera un bon exercice, mais je suis à votre disposition si vous désirez de l'aide.

Et moi, aussi. A trois, ce ne sera peut-etre pas trop dificile.
