Google translated RSS feeds
Question: Is there a way to subscribe to an automatically translated Google RSS feed?

Answer: Yes...  Google translated RSS feeds This morning, I subscribed to "Shock Wave Rider" in Google translated English. Here's how I did it: go to your subscription page in Radio: Paste in the following url: Shock Wave Rider in English RSS Feed and hit <ENTER> to subscribe. If successful, you'll get the following message: "Congratulations: you have successfully subscribed to  Der schockwellenreiter rss feed. (I got that message! Wow, what if it works?) Now, I'll soon find out if it's automatically translated and not turned into a "crappy RSS Feed." A tip submitted by Dog News: weird, inspiring dog tales

To subscribe to a translated feed, first go to the site, figure out what language you need: EN to DE, DE to EN, etc. Then use Google to translate the page, like so:

http://216.239.35.120/translate_c?hl=en&;u=http://www.schockwellenreiter.de/

Then, find the RSS feed on that site's page and tell  Google to translate it. Now, paste that in your Radio subscription page. It would simple to create a translated subscription url on your site, so that readers can subscribe to your feed in Italian, English, German. (I love Google; Google is the God of web tools.): oh my goodness -- it worked! Proof: a bit of his feed:
