AltaVista Babelfish: How to Link to Translated Page
Altavista’s babelfish is a powerful translation tool. This explains how to pass links through babelfish to get translations.
I often read web pages from different languages by using altavista’s babelfish.
Recently hanson_mark on slashdot broke down the url in an easy to understand way:

Also make sure the url to translate is correctly URL encoded.
For example, the following URL will translate tech-recipes from English into Spanish. All clicks from the URL will also be translated into Spanish as well.
