Google makes the blogosphere more universal
I have come across blogs in the past that look very interesting, but are completely unreadable. Poor writing? Not at all, just in another language. On occasion, I have subscribed to these interesting feeds, and when a new article is published, I translate it into English using Google Translate.
Yes, it was a huge pain, but I would often get enough useful information out of it to justify it. Google has just released a new feature that is going to save me a lot of time, and makes the blogosphere a lot more universal. When you subscribe to a feed in Google Reader that is written in another language, you can now simply select the option “Translate into my language”, and you will magically be able to read that blog just as you would any other.
