Translate Slack Messages Automatically

Hacker News

Hey HN! A startup had built this internal tool that they used to communicate with their international team (London<>Ukraine). When they ended up winding down their startup, I acquired it from them, rebuilt it from the ground up, and I've been running it the past few years. It's super simple: just a Slack app that uses the Google Translate API to automatically translate messages based on the team's settings. It supports over 100 languages and has custom settings per channel. Let me know what you think!
