That would be great, and perhaps we have some other volunteers on the
list?

For Caroso's _Il Ballarino_ we actually tried a modern commercial
English -> Italian translating program. After adjusting a few words in
the dictionary it works pretty well; the main thing it's doing is a
bit of sentence structure and looking up all the words for you. The
result then needs a lot of massaging, but much less flipping through
the dictionary, and it makes different sorts of mistakes than you
would, so it is a good check.
