My site in other languages

As part of our Scholarly Communications-related activities in Atlanta (check out my previous post about Zentity v1.0), Alex Wade is going to talk tomorrow about a cool service: Translator. The web form-based translation does not represent anything new but check out the AJAX-based service. If you notice on the left column of my blog, three flags have appeared that allow you to read the contents of my web pages/blog posts in different languages without leaving my site or changing the URIs.

I think it’s cool.
