Of course! I only mentioned them as an example of opening a site
within a site. Actually, I know this is really OT but if you can
recommend another web-based resource that would be better I would be
delighted. I am looking for Chinese and Vietnamese online
translation. This is only in response to a request from elsewhere - I
am not a fan.

However, I have used Babelfish to help keep up with forestry
conferences in China and yes, you can tell what the topic is, even if
the details are questionable.
