Does anyone out there know how to speak or understand Creole? I would like to know how to pronounce and spell the word "Strength" in Creole. I can't seem to find any good translation websites.

Strenght = Fos in creole. You can pronounce it Foss or force in french. Both pronunciation will be understood by someone who speaks creole.

First of all, "creole" is the French word for a pidgin language, so there are many creoles around the world, usually pidgin languages including French or Spanish (since the word in Spanish is similar).
In the U.S. the term most often refers to the pidgin French-English spoken through the Southern states by descendants of the Arcadian people who were evicted from Canada by the English and settled in the U.S. along the Gulf Coast.
I did a search on "Cajun French" and came up with the following URL, http://www.cajuns.com/thelanguage.html. For language translation, it sends people to Babelfish French. Which translates "strength" as "force"
