You can integrate Google Translate into your website. Automated translation is always a bit dodgy but I think it has improved in recent years.

There are two options to enable Google Translate:

• Embed a widget (simple)
• Use the API to convert blocks of text behind the scenes and seamlessly integrate them in to your site

Embed:

API:

• http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlanguage/

Btw asp.net already has good support for building these kinds of websites via Globalization and Localization.

Globalization is the process of architecting the site so it supports the changing of languages / cultures at run time.

Localization is the process of implement a specific language within this structure.
