...Here's a couple of websites:
http://translation2.paralink.com/
http://www.online-translator.com/
Both are powered by Promt:

Many people badmouth Promt because they use it bare bones but the truth is if you install the optional dictionaries and take the time to "teach" it, it's capable of near flawless translation. Plus it has decent text to speech capabilities in both directions.
Frankly, your friend would be better served by an attempt at learning the lingo. Pimsleur or Rosetta Stone is an OK start. Finally, moral and legal issues aside, I have one word for you: BitTorrent. Nuff said...
