Oh, I forgot to mention that it may give a "Bad command or filename" response, however it should still be doing it's job, keep trying more files...

voidmain:
Oh, and in UNIX the command would be "strings filename".

voidmain:
Hmm, haven't heard from Hollywood for a while, I hope he didn't take me seriously and try my "joke" suggestion.  If he did he's probably trying to figure out how to get his system running again.  If nothing else, it would certainly serve as a painful learning experience in the nonexistent system security in MS OSs if he really did do it. I feel bad now but I couldn't imagine that someone would... never mind, now that I think about it again...

You should know better than that:

translate [language options] [FILE1...][FILE2...]

So what you'd do is this:

translate --english f SomeFile | less

That would send the translated version to the pager so you could see what it says. To learn more about it:

man translate

Geez, VoidMain, why don't you learn to RTFM?(!)  ;)
