Oficially the Coolest Thing Ever

Google Translate now does Persian, and appears able to translate entire websites in relatively quick fashion. I normally use this site for my own personal Farsi studies, but Google - as usual - appears to have blown them away.

My suggestion? Head on over to AEI's IranTracker page, and start testing this tool out on the great Farsi-language news roundup Ali Alfoneh and Michael Rubin put together every day.

New York Times has more on Google's smart gesture.
