The Idea

Blogging has become an international sport. Blogs are huge.What is needed is a browser extension which enables you to read all blogs in the language of your choice. It would have to be cross browser compatible. A welcome addition for those of us who spend a great deal of time in the blog-o-sphere. This could possibly also be used to translate web pages automatically,with the click of a button, with a preset for language preference, or even choose the languages (to and from) on a drop down menu box. Let's tear down the language barrier, to find out what the rest of the world is blogging about! I would like to add how I think this could be possible. I am thinking the application could be downloaded, then that would give you a key to unlock the language library, which could be stored on a database, obviously too large for the home computer. Perhaps the customer could choose how many languages they want to utilize, then it is priced accordingly, with the ability to add others later.

I thought of this idea when I was...

A large percentage of blogs are written in languages other than English. It is frustrating, as the only translators that exist are cut & paste, and too time consuming to seriously consider using on a regular basis.

This idea is full of misconceptions. First, commercial quality translation is hard to invent (even academically) and it is never good enough. Secondly, you can already have complete web pages get translated, and that's over google. Look around a bit. And lastly, to break the language barrier only to be able to see what others are blogging about, and then you getting 5-10% of all of it on top of that, seems a bit funny to me.

Thanks for your feedback Deckard. I have been all over Google, and haven't found anything to suit my needs.
Language is a huge issue on one of the blogging services I use. I have two blogs.
Being that in Canada, we live in a bilingual country French/English, I would say the majority of blogs are in French on my blog service(http://blog.ca).
I would also like to extend my readership to more of an international market, which would be easily done if there was an actual blog translator.
I included webpage translator, so as not to limit the possibilites of my idea. If I were geek enough, I would develop it myself. I am certainly not trying to mislead anyone, I simply have found a niche that I believe needs filling.
I do appreciate your interest. Thanks for commenting.
For the person who asked how does this make money? $$$ It would be a application you install. $$$
Glad to see some like the idea, thanks for your support. :)

Oh, one more thing I forgot to mention. The blog service I was talking about, is headquartered in Germany, but they also have blog.de | blog.co.uk | blog.ca | blog.com.es | blogs.se | blogs.fi | blogs.no | blogs.dk | blogs.ro | webblogs.pl | webblogs.cz | webblogs.hu
and they have even been known to send out updates in German. LOL.
For that, I used Babelfish.
