  • Google Reader can now automatically translate feeds into multiple languages, allowing you to keep up to date on content from around the globe.
  • Translations are done with Google Translate technology and aren’t 100% perfect, but readable.
  • This started as a Google Reader team member’s personal project, utilizing Google’s policy allowing team members to work on personal projects 20% of the time.

Can anyone recommend some good foreign blogs?
