Inspiration
Google translate can garble the meaning when translating. What if you had it bounce between different languages and back to English.
What it does
It takes the tweets from the hash tag #HackCU and runs them though Google translate a bunch before replying to that tweet the mashed up tweet. the bot is @mlghackerbot
How I built it
I took the twitter API and Google's Cloud platform translate feature and put them together.
Challenges I ran into
There is more them one python implantation of the twitter API. Some do things better then others. So I ended up using two.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I'm proud about the turnaround from idea with no experience with Google cloud or the Twitter API how it could get off the ground so quickly.
What I learned
With a little bit of code you can do something pretty cool
What's next for TweetMasher
TweetMasher will be shut down. But from it the knowledge about the Twitter API and Google cloud will be used in later projects.
