If ever Blogotomy wants to support foreign languages, pages could be filtered through Google's translator. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has thought of this, but when you navigate around, the entire site will be in whatever language you choose (I chose Italian for this example), including the individual blogs. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Hell, if I knew PHP, I'd help develop the modules for it (you are using PHP, right?). Users could select a language preference, which would default to English, and whenever they choose a page, the web server checks the language the user selected to see if it's in a different language than the page was written in (for example, if a user writes his blog in Spanish and someone who chose Spanish as their default language wouldn't need a translation) and if it is, it requests that the page be translated into the requestor's preferred language and sends the output to the user. This makes it transparent to the user.
Two things to think about.
There will be an extra hit on the server from Google whenever a page needs to be translated. Need to make sure the server can handle it.
Google's server changes the links so that you can navigate the site in the chosen language. The script will have to re-filter that so the links don't point to Google. If you look at the address contained within the link I gave, you'll see that it'll be very easy to parse that out. ;-)
