Inspiration

Miscommunication in teams can have a serious impact on a groups performance. In a world that is moving towards having decentralised companies, working across borders must be made as easy as possible.

What it does

It can be used to translate messages in real time, into any language without defining the the source language.

How we built it

We built a Flask API, which we deployed onto a python server. Using web-hooks, we integrated this with Twist to create a slash command with one argument for the selection of translation language.

Challenges we ran into

Setting up google credentials to make OAuth2 requests to google's cloud API.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Being familiar enough with Twist to quickly deploy new intergrations. As well as creating a tool which we can actually use to develop/work with people remotely.

What we learned

How to perform OAuth2 requests in Python. How to use the Flask library, Twist and Google Cloud API's.

What's next for Intellectual Wanderer

Always on personal translation. Each account can be associated with a language. And any foreign languages are automatically detected and translated to the hosts chosen language.
