The Internet is a neat place, so much that can be done.  I’ve just added to the sidebar the ability to translate this blog using Google translate.  I know Google translate is hardly ideal, but it is better than nothing for those who don’t know a language, and there are people who use it here fairly frequently.  This puts the entire blog into the target language.

The only reason I didn’t do this long ago was because I was sure it would be a lot of work.  This only took about ten minutes to put together, thanks to timethief at One Cool Site.  If you happen to blog on WordPress.com, and want to do something like this, see Translation widget for WordPress.com Blogs and this code on the WordPress forums.  It is really, really easy.  If you have any trouble, feel free to ask me.
