I'd recommend google translator, I think it might do a better job and it 
will at least translate the whole page at once for you!  I had to resort 
to it whenever I got stuck with my German, along with LEO.

the CSS template working, at least partially.

Glad I get Rosetta Stone for free from my library.  Just wish I didn't 
have to resort to it after 3 years of German classes! :-P
