You should check **apertium**, I have used it to translate from English to
Spanish and it worked really great.
Problem is apertium supports only a few languages so far, but they are
planning to add more in the future. Anyway the program works great and is
quite powerful.
sudo apt-get install apertium apertium-tolk apertium-en-es
**aptitude search apertium** will show you the translation packages available
