Google Translates Ryan A Graves.com

As I watched my Feedjit widget and keep a close eye on those who show up in MyBlogLog, I saw an significant increase in readers from outside the US. Which is awesome! I love when I got to the blog of someone who’s avatar shows up in MyBlogLog and their blog is in a different language. How cool is it that people are reading my blog in English even though it is their second language, answer = very!

So, in an effort to grow the global reach of Ryan A Graves.com (currently over 3k/month) I’ve added another widget to blog. I’m going to use the Google Translate widget to allow readers from all over the world read this blog. Currently, there is not a way to translate comments but I know Fred Wilson has made that feature request to the Disqus team. I would just like to thank anyone who has been reading this blog with English as a second language. I hope that the translate feature will help you enjoy even more. If you are one of those people I would love for you to leave a comment so that I can get in touch with you.

I love when new tools like this become popular and even the standard on the web. It just re-affirms that the time and effort we are all putting in to grow the web and help people develop a presence on it is not in vain. Obviously this is a great Google tool but these opportunities are out there for startups! Go out there and make a valuable tool!

Ryan, Great idea for the translation widget. I am programming my new site at the moment and will have to do the same. Thanks for the idea. Best, Tim Reha

Violet - Ha thx. I guess better to be muddle in translation than not read at
all! I still am waiting for the folks who speak other languages to verify
the accuracy of the translation widget.
Let me know folks!

Are you afraid of your content becoming "lost in translation"?

Congrats on the success Ryan and reaching an international user base is key for growth, especially in these times. The Google translate tool sounds great for that purpose, do you know how accurate it is?
