I'm looking forwards
and backwards.
I'm also not moving.
And I'm at a crossroads.
Click.
Foot on the gas.
Symbolism somewhere in there.

Blue Sky Radio   design   tools  


I have some readers from Portugal, Spain, and Germany. I can tell because they use Google's machine translation feature to browse my site.

With the advent of the Google API, is it possible to have translated versions of each rss.xml file on my Radio site?

  • rss.xml
  • en_esRss.xml (too_from syntax)
  • en_deRss.xml

Do rss files have a place to set language encoding? 

This might be a tool or a pref. Settings:

  • googleAPI login
  • categories to translate
  • source language, by category
  • destination languages, by category
  • text of translation credit/caveat, to be included in rss file headers.
  • Google's suggested translations of the site/category title and description, with user override.
  • bilingual rss flag. Include source language version along with translation in each rss file?

Will I use up my quota of GoogleAPI hits? No. Each time I post, thereby updating the rss in each category, I use up one of my 1000 daily google searches. Let's say 100 posts a day, to 10 categories each? We're probably good to go. 

English is rapidly becoming the largest minority language on the net. Helping blogspace and klogspace bridge those gaps adds big value.

Is this hard to do?
