I'm using Google Translate tools to translate a web page and I also have an iframe on this page, that is not obviously translated with the page.

Is there a workaround, that any of you know, so I can have the iframe translated as well?

This is a genuine limitation or policy of Google Translate. You can't rewrite iframe content. But one thing you can do is change iframe url to translated page like:

<iframe height="1200" width="600" src="http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=bg&ie=UTF-8&u=YOUR_IFRAME_URL&sl=de&tl=bg" align="middle" border="0">
