This may not be what you had in mind, but the browser iCab for the  
iPad wil translate into English whatever text you have selected on the  
screen (just click the triangle to the right of "Copy"). It works  
through Google translate, so I suppose it covers the languages  
available there and is as exact or inexact as its source, and you will  
have to be online to use it. It does not seem to work for PDFs.
