[...] has provided a method for getting English-only Ironman feeds. I like seeing lots of different languages in my browser window when I go to the Ironman site [...]

If I remember correctly, a bunch of those have a proper 'summary' entry, but the 'content' entry comes out raw. I didn't have the time to do more heuristics to flip them around and clean them up -- and I'd rather see that fixed upstream by the Iron Man feed anyway.

yeah it seems all the blogger blogs are being spit out in raw html... no idea why.

As a fellow monoglot myself, I applaud and appreciate this effort. I unsubed from the regular feed and subbed to this instead!

Now if we can only do something about the items that come across as raw HTML and look terrible in a feed reader.

No, this is not a bad idea. It is a great idea and I applaud you've created it. As much as I love to bring the community together, I think that there's a lot of posts there that a lot of people can't even read and some sort of boundaries should indeed be put in place. Besides English posts, I like to (and can) read the ones in Spanish but that's pretty much it. I basically skip immediately or don't even bother to look at what people write in Russian or Japanese (or whatever), just because I can't understand a single word they say. And unfortunately, automatic translators have always sucked ass so I wouldn't even bother on reading the translation.

TIMTOWTDI.

andy.sh, Naim, Zukoff: He's given you the code... Perhaps you can pick it up and make a google tranlations version?

fREW: is there a repository which the Iron Man stuff is being worked on?

Awesome! I think this would be a nice feature to be built into the next-gen Catalyst-based version of the Iron Man stuff, but in the meantime this is great!

Bad idea. I read also japaneese posts, everything is interesting. Better make auto-translation for those.

The non-internationaling is that which will may kill the Perl. (:
