Official Google Blog and non-English speaking visitors

A recent post by Karen Wickre on the official Google blog mentioned some interesting visitor statistics

Readers have come from all over the world, not just English speaking countries: 53,001 visitors from Turkey have stopped by, for example; so have 155,691 from France, 29,614 from Thailand and 8,233 from Peru.
So a good number of non-English speaking visitors are reading the Official Google blog but wait, how do they read the blog when the blog is written only in English ?

It’s strange that Google has not yet added language translation buttons to their blog.

Otherwise, how do non-english speaking people translate the Google blog into their native language ? Neither every browser on this earth has Google Toolbar installed nor every site visitor is geeky to be aware of Google Translate lets people convert webpages in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Chinese (Simplified).
