BabelMeSH: search Medline/PubMed in French (and more)
NLM's experimental interface at http://askmedline.nlm.nih.gov/crosslan/ enables you to search in French, Spanish or Chinese, and also to access PubMed for Handhelds (you need a wireless enabled handheld for this last one).
I've tried the French interface. It uses a translation of MeSH, and predicts terms as you type. Results are displayed in an interface much plainer than PubMed, with links to (English) abstracts, full text (where available) and related articles.
I think it is really an interface to MeSH - I am not sure it will accept complex searches like you can do in PubMed.
There are existing Spanish language interfaces to PubMed developed by other agencies: one I have bookmarked is from the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, at http://clinical.uthscsa.edu/pubmed/espanol.shtml

Where I kind looked at the PubMed in French interface. It is brief but might be helpful. I don't know Spanish, so I didn't do that one.
