We found this article on a database for Swedish language newspapers published in the U.S. that will be available late 2015. That got us to thinking about where foreign language documents might be translated. Here are some places to go for free translation(by an actual person, not a computer):
Multiple language:
freelang.net
cucumis.org
linguanaut.com
Russian: russian-lang.ru
free-translator.russian-translation-pros.com
French: sylang.com (French language site)
Just make sure you read the rules before submitting your request- most limit the number of characters or words you can send at one time.

Parish records from Ireland
Those with Irish ancestors may be interested to know that some 400,000 Irish parish records will become available online, for free, in the summer of 2015. As this article from Catholic News says, you'd have to travel to Ireland to have access otherwise. Thanks to ResearchBuzz for passing this along.
