If the site was constructed with a Content Management System such as PostNuke or PHPNuke, then there are language modules available. These modules allow users to translate the site into their native language.

Being only an English speaker, I have no idea how accurate these things are, but from what I have seen of foreign sites using these modules, the conversions to English are pretty good.

It would require a complete overhaul of the site, and the forums would have to be changed to a different system that ran as a plugin to either PostNuke or PHPNuke.

Both systems are relatively easy to implement, and there is a large community behind both projects. Personally I use PostNuke as I find it easier to setup and manage, but as always, YMMV.

I may be wrong, but I've used phpnuke before and am currently using postnuke
(plug http://www.randomdrivel.com)  ... it is an easy to use and quite extensible CMS/portal type tool... but I believe the multilingual power isn't on the fly translation... rather it's having different versions of the webpages... all the site text can be defined for each language set as a different set of constants.

I could be wrong, if so I apologize... but I think the sites that offer multilingual content create the content twice... I may be off on that, but feel free to correct me.

No acutally some of the message boards use translators similar to babblefish to translate stuff.  yabbse has a lot of plugins, there might be one available but pj would have to install it and the board would probably have to be backed up first.
