  Well, 1jester is very fluent. Also, Udo (a new member is a native too, I believe). My 2nd Greatgrandfather was.....but he died about 100 years ago!!

  I don't think my 4 German courses would be of much help, being 40 years out of date.

  Actually, Babblefish does a pretty fair job on German. I've used it successfully in asking seller questions on the German EBay site. Of course I always include a line tellilng the other party that I am using a mechanical translator, just in case there is a major boo-boo.

  What were you needing translated? My fluency has fallen far off after so many years of no and little use, but I can usually piece out what is meant if it doesn't involve colloquialisms.
