    Unfortunately not. You will need to install the new language, and then update all of the defines.

    A great website for translations is http://babelfish.altavista.com/ . Just enter the content, choose a language, and job done. I highly recommend you get someone fluent in the language to check your translations, but it will give you a start.

    If you use an online automated translation service then don't expect your foreign language speaking customers to be able to make head or tail of what those automated translators turn out. For instance, something like this:

    "You will take part in an excellent meal. The menu is extensive, and our chef will be pleased to discuss anything you don't understand"

    becomes something like this:

    "You will become part of an extensible meal. The menu is expensive, and our leader will be diseased to talk about anything he does not understand."

    Thats true. however, for links, buttons and rollover text, its a great place to start.

    As I said, I recommend findiong someone who is fluent to help you.
