[thelist] website translation

[Mark Joslyn]

A new project has landed on my desk which entails translating our website
into multiple languages - mostly English, Spanish, German, French, Italian
and Portuguese. Our int'l distributors could do the content translation for
us, but that would take forever. 

Any suggestions to starting this project? Do I need to source an external
translation service? DO I rely on freeware translations? Any experiences,
insights would be appreciated.

Thanks,
