Feed My Inbox in 52 languages!

(4) Comment(s) | Published in Feed My Inbox

Today we deployed support for 52 languages (and counting) on Feed My Inbox. Actually, it only took about 10 minutes thanks to a new tool from Google Translate! At the bottom of all pages on FeedMyInbox.com, you will now see a dropdown to select an available language. Select one and the page is translated for you! Here is what it looks like in French:

We hope it helps our friends in the 185+ countries now using Feed My Inbox!

This tool looks pretty cool and I'm testing it out. I like things that are simple in design yet that work well.

My question is how can I add this feature to my blog page? I have a RSS feed widget. But I'm being asked by some of my readers, who don't like RSS feeds, to have my blog go to their email.

Hey Jim!

Thanks for your question. We've created a simple way for you to add an email subscription form directly to your website. All you need is your RSS feed URL.

Put your feed URL into this form- http://www.feedmyinbox.com/feeds/formCode/. We will in turn generate the code you can copy/paste on your site and people can receive updates from your blog via email without ever leaving your site. It works just like the form to the right on this website if you want to see how it works.

I hope this helps, be sure to let us know if you have any other questions.

Forget about Google Translation if you want to translate to German. That doen't work well. In fact the result is somewhere between 'Wow, funny!' and 'What the ยง&*# do they mean?'.
I am glad I'm not forced to use it.

@karsten ... thanks for the feedback, we will be sure to keep that in mind. We don't have any German speakers in the office, so your expertise is much appreciated.

We'll keep an eye on what others think and decide on whether to keep it accordingly. Thanks again!
