That, or you can always sub-contract the translation works. Translators are not 
exactly hard to find, and anyone who even barely knows the language is likely to do a 
better job than any translation program. If the sales people were not complete morons 
they made sure that each extra language results in more money coming your way (to pay 
for the sub-contracting costs and to give you some profit on it).

You've just asked for the Holy Grail of language translation.
I don't think that tool exists yet.  There are companies that
provide that service.

You're dreaming mate.

But depending on the size of the file I'll do it for $50/hour :-)

If you're really adventurous and have time to kill what you could do is write 
something using the altavista babel fish page and parsing the results out of the page 
automatically and make it translate everything for you. It would still take bloody 
ages, I suppose, but less work and that would be a pretty useful soft :-) Altavista 
might send ninjas to hunt you down though...
