Google Reader, the web-based RSS client powered by the Mountain View company was finally updated to the final product stage after the 'Labs' label was removed. As you might have heard, Google Reader was introduced a long time ago on the Internet but since then, it has remained a part of the Google Labs, the testing platform also powered by the search giant. Yesterday, it was revealed that Google Reader was updated with two new flavors especially addressed to Japanese and to French users. Actually, it seems like the solution is now compatible with several other languages including Italian, German, Spanish, English (UK), Chinese and Korean as Kevin Systrom, Product Marketing Manager, announced today.

"Up until now, our blog and news site service, Google Reader, was only available in English. As of today, it supports these languages: French, Italian, German, Spanish, English (UK), Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Japanese, and Korean," the Google employee wrote on the blog.

"With this announcement, I'm also happy to tell you that we're removing the "Labs" label from Google Reader. It's a small textual change, but we believe it solidifies our commitment to make reading blogs and news sites easier than ever. So try Google Reader and get all your blogs and news sites in one place."

From my point of view, Google Reader is one of the most useful technologies ever created because it allows the simple Internet consumers to read news and RSS feeds in a matter of seconds straight from a web-based interface. In comparison with the old-fashioned downloadable RSS clients, Google Reader is more useful since you can access it from any location, using only your username and password as well as a single instance of your browser.
