If you have google toolbar use the translate button & tick the translate german always box, it's not perfect but gives you the gist of the listing

I find its easier if you copy the item number and paste it into eaby.com.au then go to it.

Also you can highlight any text on screen, then right click with mouse and select 'translate with live search'

Other tools i use are

Yahoo Babel fish
www.freetranslation.com

I mostly just highlight and right click with mouse now as thats so easy.
