I can vouch, really:)

Hmm, well since I'm not going anywhere for awhile, need any help?

One thing to remember is that babelfish can't always give a direct translation. I
used it to write a letter to join the Baronial Guard once. Then just for fun, I
re-translated it. It wasn't exactly the same, although there weren't any really
obvious problems. I do have a Spanish-English dictionary you could borrow too. It's
also modern Spanish, and I'm not sure how much the local idiom might have changed.
Still, there's only one good way to find out:)
