Cross lingual search In between space of languages, auto translation, and findability via native availability in language
Thinking about making a planet site that translates feeds for a given topic that are in one language into English or another language, likely Spanish for my current needs. (Though Chinese or another major language might make more sense for general usefulness.) This would increase awareness of articles within a domain in languages that they weren’t originally written in.
- Can use a Python library for the machine translation, without accessing external APIs to cut down on cost.
- I think the notion of awareness building within a subject domain is right in line with the general planet site philosophy, and this would be a sort of public service to persons who follow the domain.
