Machine translation might remotely be possible if you created a mash-up 
that funneled your iSeries data through (for example) the Google 
translate tool.  The concept is that you'd have a socket program that 
talks to Google and performs the translation.  Then you stuff the 
translated data onto your display, dealing with the fact that a sentence 
in English is never the same size as a sentence in Spanish.  Of course, 
machine translation is generally ludicrous, so the end results would not 
be very good.

I'd be laughing too.  There's no silver bullet for this.
