I have this CD which was sent to me but it is all in French but I was wondering if and how one may translate it into English? Someone please.

Its a book in French which explains my family tree and there are 274 pages. “Icci la Chat”. I understand that there is supposed to be a program in these things which help do the translating.

you want to do as another said, scan it so you can get it on the pc, you want to use ocr software (optical character recognition). Once that is done you can use universal translator or any translation software, you could even paste it into a web site that does translation.

You might want to be careful with those online translation sites though. I put the following text into babelfish, then translated it into Japanese:
Last weekend, I went back home to Osaka. I met my friends for drinks at our favorite bar. I got really drunk and had a terrible hangover the next day. Then on Sunday evening, I went to my grandparents’ house for dinner.
Then I took that text and translated it back into English, and here’s what I got:
Last weekend, I went into the house in Osaka. I met to my friend for the beverage with the stick of our tastes. As for me drunk it was really, the next day possessed terrible remains ones. Then in evening of Sunday, I went into the house of my grandparents for dinner.
Or when I wrote a similar paragraph in Japanese and had bablefish translate it into English, I got this:
We went to Osaka of the home inside in earth day at this time. Saturday the friend and the beer it went to the favorite pub in drinking. Being intoxicated very, Sunday it was terrible hangover. That evening, the late boiled rice was eaten at the house of the grandmother.
This would probably explain where a lot of the “Engrish” on t-shirts and signs in Japan comes from!
