Having the chance to translate articles to other languages using
Google translation service included in the blog would be cool :)

You can try the iframe version of google translate by adding the
following to your template:

<iframe style="overflow:hidden;width:170px;height:60px;border:none"
src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/
modules/
translatemypage.xml&up_source_language=en&synd=open&w=160&h=60&lang=en&country=ALL&source=
{CurrentURL}"></iframe>

Note: this version has a problem with URL parameters, which I use to
pass into other iframes to configure the functionality.
(more details http://groups.google.com/group/google-translate-general/browse_thread/thread/8200b6b72f405757/4536214f26aec40f)

When/if posterous adds javascript support, the version below works
great

http://translate.google.com/translate_tools

A {block:Translate pageLanguage='en' includedLanaguages='xyx'/} would
be an awesome addition to the template elements.
