The folks at Bloglines, a very popular web-based RSS reader and publisher, will today launch an international version with support for six languages, which they hope “may mark a shift in the expansion of blog/RSS reach and usage, heading down the global internet service road paved by eBay and Amazon, etc.”
The new internationalized web site, due to go live later today, offers the service in Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish. Bloglines reckons it “is the first RSS service to embrace consumers in multiple languages”. The internationalization includes the home page, navigation screens, and all the help menus and user tips.
