I'm sure Mark Langford would have mentioned this if it was still a good 
product/idea, but he turned me on to a software called "Web Copier" or 
somesuch, for the very duty that some of you are facing... transferring your 
webpages to a different host.  This software would copy your entire site and 
save it to your local disk and would also test the links as it went, 
pointing out broken links and invalid URLs.  You could set the limits on how 
far out to let it test (just your site, or out a ways).

It used to be available as a free download demo but even the registration 
fee was very reasonable... much less than the cost of your time in doing a 
manual copy and save.  I used it to backup my own website and to check for 
broken links and it worked great.

And on the language thing, as Cris. from Rome can attest, I cannot speak nor 
write Italian worth a hoot, although I bought two different "learn while you 
drive" courses and went through them many times before visiting Italy last 
fall.  I cannot speak or write Spanish and French equally well/poorly ;o)  
That makes me illiterate in four languages... five, if you count Morse code, 
which I actually still remember from my days as a radio amateur, and six if 
you count dead programming languages like Fortran, which I learned in 
college when dinosaurs roamed the earth and all computing was done via punch 
cards fed into a card reader.
