Hi,
This is an old topic, but I have also purchased the MyAVR programmer 
board and was also disappointed by the fact that the accompanying 
software was in German. I have not tried the board yet (I haven't 
really got into AVR programming yet!), but looking at the documentation 
it appears that as long as the board is connected, AVR Studio can be 
set-up to communicate with it. The documentation states:

QUOTE

Use with AVR Studio Version 4.12.498
If you use the AVR studio, please choose "AVR Prog" in
the menu Tools. The programmer has to be connected if
you select the menu item. AVR Prog will find the mySmartUSB
automatically.

AVR-Prog is looking only at the COM-Ports 1 to 4. If the
virtual COM-Port of mySmartUSB is higher then 4 AVR
studio will not find it. In this case you need to select a valid
COM-port in the system settings.
Follow this procedure:
• open the device manager
• open the rubric: Ports (COM and LPT) themed open
  USB controller
• choose driver: "CP210x USB to UART Bridge Controller
  (COMx)"
• right mouse button -> Properties-> Port settings
-> Advanced
• modify and confirm COM-port number
• we recommend COM3 or COM4, Please notice possible
driver conflicts

The MyAVR document from which this was found was: techb_mysmartusb.pdf

Cheers,

Gavin
