    You cannot specifically force it - but here's a trick:

    http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=<RESULT_LANGUAGE>&sl=<SOURCE_LANGUAGE >&u=<URL>

    Just replace with country codes (en = english, fr = french and you'll have to test yourself for the other codes)

    Example: http://translate.google.co.uk/transl.../fr/about.html

    there's a script (gadget) you can include on your site, that lets your users chose language to translate into

    Just keep in mind that these translations are usually just good enough to understand the general idea and purpose of a given paragraph...

    yes, they are not full translations with correct grammars, but I've so far found them to work rather well for my language when testing (swedish -> english and english -> swedish)
