What it does
People can: - Choose a tone: formal or informal. - Choose who they’re talking to and who they are. - Pick the language to translate from and to. - Type a message and press GO to translate it. - Save and revisit their translations in their private list. Built for People learning another language may want to use Tone & Word because it helps them choose a tone and audience when translating a message..
What a real user taught us
They tried the Open the translator button and expected it to open the app. I changed it to a direct link, then checked that it opened the translator at /app.
A safety issue we fixed
One safety issue was that saved messages should not be visible to everyone. I added Google sign-in and made each person’s saved list show only their own messages.
What we would build next
“I would add Save and Unsave buttons so people can choose which translated messages to keep in Saved messages.
