Translation and RSS Feed Readers

I spend an inordinate amount of time scanning my feed readers, yes don’t ask me how many I use but suffice it to say it is less that the fingers on my right hand, but nonetheless, I have lots of web feeds I read.  It’s the curse of being a professional blogger and blog evangelist.  I also have a number of search feeds that send me information related to certain search phrases and terms.  I mine the blogosphere and other places across the Internet for anyone discussing my company or anyone discussing the clients for which we provide the service. 

One of the things that seems frustrate me the most is finding a site that has mentioned a search feed term, and when I go to read the information, it turns out it is in a completely foriegn language.  It’s frustrating trying to find a translation service that will translate the information so that I may read the feed in english.  This is on my wish list for the people at Bloglines, or Newsgator or the rest fo the feed readers. 

Please work on a translation application of all feeds into the native language of the user.  I know this can be done if the right company takes on the project.  Each site if it could would have a script that would allow each language to be accounted for in the blog or site.  Of course, now that I think about it, this may be more difficult than imagined.  I still would like to put it on my wish list for future applications.  Any takers?
