Auto-Translate With Google Reader

If you would like to subscribe to a blog or other feed in a language youre not speaking, Google Reader now offers an auto-translate feature for you.

Just subscribe to a specific feed, say, the German GoogleWatchBlog. Then check Feed settings -> Translate into my language.

Heres a sample post translation from that blog:

Google now also with profiles Kontaktierungsmglichkeit

After Google profiles meanwhile also for search engines available, should a large proportion of visitors to that person no longer personally know and have no contact possibilities. Since the show the e-mail address usually a very bad idea, Google now offers the possibility of the owner of the profile to contact us directly.

... in other words, the quality may be good enough to get certain points across (perhaps the more the closer related the languages are), but its also confusing enough to cause occasional non-understandings or " which might be worse if youre the blogger who wrote the text " misunderstandings.

If youre a blog author and you prefer your blog wont be translated, Google says you can use the following directive in your HTML " however, Im not sure whether Google checks this for Google Reader, or if theres any way to specifically disallow a feed from being translated (I asked Google and will update if I know more):

<meta name="google" value="notranslate" />Comments
