Will Feedparser support the Localizer_Module ( http://drupal.org/project/localizer ) and pass feed language settings to the items?

I'm not familiar with localisation requirements, and the module you mentioned didn't appear to provide any specific documentation about it's API.

Could you explain to me how you think this should fit together to put me in the right direction?

Would this be possible:

Feedparser grabs feed items and turns them into nodes.
Localizer translates these nodes into the different languages (new nodes?)
Comments to any of the nodes are similarly translated and put into the respective language nodes.

Is that what others were imagining?

Super strong feature!

This sounds more like a general feature for Drupal, than specific to a feed aggregator.

It could easily be done using the hook_nodeapi() facility in Drupal, so any nodes created could be run through the translator and spawn a multi-lingual site. Of course the translator service would need to be good - and not produce pigeon style speak.

- The Feeds should be able to be flagged with a language (drop down: any, lang 1, lang 2, lan3 ...)
- The Feeds should pass the language flag to the Items

That would be all I need.

Thank you!
