Google Reader Now Translating Feeds Automatically

Google Reader and Google Translate have teamed up to bring a neat new feature — you can choose to have feeds in Google Reader machine-translated on the fly. For instance, if your Google Reader language is set to English under Settings > Preferences, a subscription to a blog in Japanese will appear (more or less) in English. It doesn’t seem to have been rolled out for everybody quite yet, as some of us at Lifehacker could access the option on the Feed settings drop-down menu and some couldn’t. A neat trick, but the automated translations still have a tendency to be unintentionally hilarious. Users of the new Reader feature are promised that as Translate gets better, so will the translations of the feeds.

    I really love Google reader but some of my sites generates to many news. Is there any way to filter out some word from a site in my Google reader? for example i want to remove all post that are including "Black Berry" from my "News - Mobile Phone" section.

    It would also be cool if you would be able to remove all duplicate news from different sites. For example Gizmodo and Slashgear have many similar post about the same thing. Would be cool to just show the first one and filter away the duplicate.
    This would work if Google or some Firefox add-on :) did compare the articles and removed the duplicate.

    Another question I have is why some post appear double in Google reader, it can be from any site inducing Lifehacker.
