Send To trick for Google Reader: Autotranslate

by Matt Cutts

You can use Google Reader’s “Send To” feature for lots of fun things. Suppose you subscribe to a blog in another language, such as this French blog. You can add an “Autotranslate” custom link:

Enter a custom link

I used the values

Name: Autotranslate
URL: http://translate.google.com/translate?u=${url}
Icon URL: http://translate.google.com/favicon.ico

Then when you’re reading the blog, just click Send To -> Autotranslate:

Click the link

And you’ll open the blog in Google Translate and be able to read the blog:

Autotranslation!

Fun stuff. :) What other web services would be fun to add as “Send To” custom links in Google Reader?
