Summary

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:

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:

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

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