[DUG] Translations

[Alister Christie]

I'm certainly not going to disagree, a native speaker is the way to go.  
But for speed and price you can't go past Google ;-)
However, personally I'd use the following translation service
http://tashian.com/multibabel/

"are you sure you want to delete this file?"
eventually becomes
"is the fort safe you who you would want to be to the cancellation of 
this file?"
who would have a problem with that?
