There is no NAT defined in IPv6 (afaik) and hopefully never came up...
...because this will break e.g. end-to-end security feature.

In your case you have to configure global or site local addresses,
depending on your needs to reach the outside native. If only using
webbrowsing, you can setup an IPv6 enabled proxy and use site local
internally.
