@gehnibo Thanks Luca, Yes, I have a friend, that's definitely a great use-case. My friend Kapil uses it all the time for his emails with suppliers in China when he wants to gain their trust.

@fotoflo @gehnibo Makes total sense! That Kapil just pioneered a great way to use this tool!

@gehnibo Hey there, I'm the maker of Wordzen, a Gmail plugin that drafts/edits/proofreads email. We've been considering getting into the translation space as well. Your comment validates the need. Gmail already provides some auto-translation, but it's certainly not 100% accurate, and I could see that important business communication would require professional human translators.

@parttimesnob @gehnibo Sounds great. Perhaps we could partner! Hit me up Alex@texturner.com

@eriktorenberg Thanks for asking Erik! I was working on an International ad campaign for a client and my translations were taking forever. It was a chronic problem, until one day one of their developers shouted into their slack room: "Can everyone translate [this] into their respective languages" and the other employees from Brazil and Mexico and Russia all translated the dude's sentence. So I thought, why isn't there a bot that does that? A friend of mine started a human translation company, so that night I created a little integration and pumped the output into their company's translation stack. That was 2 weeks ago. Now we support 48 languages.

@fotoflo @eriktorenberg Alex - I saw on your website that you have a network of 10,000 translators. I'm wondering -- who are you using on the back-end for translation? Might it be Gengo?

@parttimesnob @eriktorenberg Yes, that's right.
