My friend Tony from LifeChurch.tv has released something truly useful. BabelWithMe is a chat application that does instant in-line translation of chat from its original language to the language of your choice.

I don’t really have to tell you how useful this is and will be for our larger socially networked world, so instead, I’ll show a pic, and then encourage you to visit.

Here’s a quick snip of it in action:

Now, check out BabelWithMe and invite some friends who speak other languages to chat.

See the world changing? I do.

Two Israeli bloggers I’m friends with are Blonde 2.0 and Kfir Pravda. They both blog in English, and if you see what they’re up to, they have fairly global audiences and interests. With that in mind, I lean towards going with English for the majority if posts.

And yet ( Dr. Elie Wiesel got me saying that), and yet, the Israelis I know are proud of their heritage and their language, and might give more points to a blog written in Hebrew.

What Should Yuval Do?

Whether you’re Israeli or not, how do you think the global language consideration should be handled? My friends from Montreal blog and podcast in both, because Canada promotes a bilingual culture, but Yuval isn’t exactly eager to write two posts for the price of one every day.

What’s your counsel to Yuval?
