FULLASAGOOG: MULTILINGUAL SUPPORT

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28 2003 @ 02:51 PM

If you haven't noticed yet, FullAsAGoog has a new menu item up there: 'prefs'. Currently, that page allows you to configure the new languages now available for blog posts. That's right, from now on FullAsAGoog syndicates blogs in languages other than english.

A significant collection of blogs in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French and German has been made available for people that can and want to read their favorite blogs in their original languages. All you need to do is change you preferences and add the languages you want to read (default is english-only). Eventually, FullAsAGoog's interface will be also available in all of these languages.

This is still a work in progress, but also a big step into the democratization of blog syndication, and for that Geoff deserves a huge kudos! I'm also glad to be a little part of this, as I will be collaborating to this project as an editor for blogs in Spanish, Portuguese and Italian... so, if you got blogs we don't know about and you think they would make a good addition to the Goog, you gotta make a suggestion.

Here is what has been said so far:

Hmmm, in fact, it would be nice to have the feeds by language-category, not just language.

why not both? I hope I'm not putting Geoff in trouble here, but I think the Goog is solid enough to support very customizable feeds.

I see it more like tightening our network of fellow bloggers around the world, and offering users some extra comfort :)

It'll be even cooler when I can get a blog of any language translated to my native language. "Full as a Babel Goog" anyone?! :)
