Short answer - no.



Long answer - soon.



Google are making some amazing strides.



First, if a video on youtube.com has text subtitles, it is possible to translate those subtitles into another language See: http://www.switched.com/2008/11/03/how-t



Also, Google are indexing the words spoken on the audio track of videos so that you can search using keywords for videos whose audio track mentions your keyword. Check it out: http://labs.google.com/gaudi



So if Google is able to write down all the words spoken on an audio track for us, we can then translate it before using a text to speech engine to make the English audio track. Someone somewhere soon will write a clever website or desktop application to automate all of this for you. But this of course is from a purely technical perspective. Translation is always difficult and meaning can get lost in translation.
