Well, if I had the time ...

OK, now serious: At this time only one of the online translators
(listed at http://www.babelfish.org) can serve you with an English
version. I had a quick test with altavista a few minutes ago and
uhmm, it is readable :).

But we plan to write brief first-step-in "tutorials" for the packages
which are on the FreeGIS CD so sometime in the future a proofread
translation will be available.

A brief abstract: The article is in the community section of the
magazine, so it is written for programmers, to draw
their attention on the relatively new field of online mapping
and just to try out the mapserver (Although I got some response 
from people saying the MapServer supply their needs perfectly :).
Only the basic features of the MapServer and the major keys of the
map file are described by an example based on the ms33 demo.
Mapscript etc. are mentioned by an outlook.

Regards,

        Frank
