I agree that Google Translation is bad, However Google Translate allows you to edit the translations. With your help, Google Reader will translate even better. Infonote's last blog post..Test

I like this new feature. Of course, the translation will be direct but at least the one who cannot understand the article at all will be able to realize its general idea. Google impresses me more an more. Good job!

Looks more like a freight train hit those paragraphs then a translation system. It has a long way to go to be near perfect, however if any company has the money and employees to make it work...that company would be Google.

lol lol heehee lol lol. But it is a start though. But The people reading the feed in another language are going to think we’re crazy.

Hey Jordan, you’re pretty smart eh? A degree in Linguistics… seems pretty tough.

I just tried translating a Hebrew feed into English and it was pretty painful. Now, for the quick down and dirty when you just want some info … sure, machine translation is fine. But for anything of any worth, it’s got to be done properly.

Bottom line is you have to start somewhere. Not everyone is going to be happy with something if it doesn't work 100%. trying to bridge the gap between multiple languages is actually pretty challenging alone. Now incorporate computers talking and sending information to each other and it just got more complicated. Best CD Rates's last blog post..Wachovia bank cd rates

This reminds me of a blog post that advocated using this feature to translate your copied content into a foreign tongue, and then back again, as a means to prevent your content being flagged as duplicate content!

I am not at all sure that machine transalation will solve the problem of a new global language, worldwide.

People in some parts of Africa cannot even afford to buy food, let alone to buy a computer, as well.

I do however think that there is a worldwide language problem, which demands a solution.

Which is why I think a non-national language, like Esperanto, certainly should be given some consideration.

You can use it to translate the feeds from one language to another a bunch of times until you have unique content and then use the new, unique feed for various sneaky content things .

I think its a step in the right direction. machine translation certainly has come a long way from where it started – but there is room for more improvements down the road.

Hope it will get better, and I agree with *go green, it is hard to translate into other languages as there are so slang terms and hard to get the exact meaning. Busby SEO's last blog post..By: New position in Busby SEO Test | Free Page Rank, Busby SEO Test Monitoring at webwoke.com

I would guess that they are able to translate feeds as well as they are able translate websites. They should be using the same technology. As that technology progress, it will get better. It is hard to translate into other languages as there are so many dialects and slang terms that it can often be hard to get the exact meaning. go green's last blog post..Subscribe to My RSS Feed

Thats pretty cool that reader started translating. But since its a direct translation, I’m sure it will have a lot of errors. But it will give a general idea of what the blog is saying
