Options for translating languages within perl scripts

Hi,

I've been tasked with massaging a large batch of French-language MARC
records from a vendor.  Aside from the usual MARC field
manipulation/cleanup we usually do with perl, I've been asked to run the
520 field through a translation routine/API, etc. to convert (possibly
crudely) from French to English.  I thought that Babelfish or
http://api.yandex.com/translate/doc/dg/reference/translate.xml might be
options, but Babelfish appears to be dead, and when I clicked to get the
required key for the yandex API, the link led to a dead end.

Is anyone incorporating POST queries or other methods to translate fields
in MARC records?  I'd appreciate any leads or pointers.

Thanks in advance,
