babel.el is able to do this. It's not at all specific to Gnus; you say
`M-x babel', it prompts you for a phrase to translate and a pair of
source and destination languages, and displays the (washed) result of
the translation in a *babel* buffer (it's quite a bit like nnweb.el).
There is also `M-x babel-region', which is likely to be more useful.

I just wrote it (I'm in work avoidance mode), so it's hardly been
tested. Download at
