I like this Google Translate tool for websites that allows viewers to translate it into any (supported) language. I thought it might be nice to have for blogoscoepd: http://translate.google.com/translate_tools

I think this is the kind of feature that should be included in a browser, not in a site. It's easy to drag a bookmarklet to the browser's bookmark bar and translate any web page into your language, assuming that Google Translate supports the language pair.

Until every browser from IE, Firefox, mobile browsers and more, has it as default so every computer illiterate is aware of the functions, Google Translate tool is a good thing to implement on a website.

But even if the browser doesn't include it, users can add a bookmarklet or a plug-in that has the feature. Another option is to use the "Translate" link displayed next to search results in Google, Yahoo and other search engines.

Sure, users can-- but how many users know they can?
