NEW! - Translatorize has been adapted for Facebook, Twitter and Identi.ca too: http://translatorize.com

- Pre-packaged (you choose 'translation to' language) Script Installers: http://wittman.org/projects/friendfeedtranslate... - includes user scripts and bookmarklets.

Google Translate service utilized for language detection and translation.

Each comment on a friendfeed post is analyzed individually, so it's possible to convert a mix of languages all in one thread. For example, if languageCodeTo is configured for English ('en'); and there were German, Farsi and Simplified Chinese comments, each would be translated respectively to English.

Instead of using auto-detect languageCodeFrom, you have the option to set it explicitly in the Configuration section of the script. When viewing a single friendfeed entry, near the upper right corner by "Tools", the link to perform the translation will appear (e.g. Translate Farsi to English).
