Show HN: I built an auto-localization tool for small teams to double traffic (translatespace.com)

Translatespace translates your app's content in minutes.

Most users don't speak your language - reaching them doubles markets.

To 'double a market' is a bold claim. And many question the quality of automatic localization. Both of these points are valid - so the landing page cites several cases where traffic MORE than doubled, and I put a free real-time demo for anyone to check performance themselves.

Lmk any questions!

Awesome tool! I'll be trying it once my product is out!

That's great to hear - lmk if you've got any questions in the meantime!

Any notes on quality? I suspect that a poor translation can confuse a potential customer. For multi-lingual users I think sometimes it's better to show text in the original language than to poorly translate to their preferred language.

Quality has been tested against every other service and matches or outperforms them.

Many of the current users are native speakers, and every day I work with them to get it better accustomed to what they're expecting

I put a live demo on the site though - I encourage you to verify this yourself!

Sadly my non-English language skills are not developed enough for me to be a good judge. I think you'll usually be selling to people who don't have the language skills to evaluate quality. Some kind of independent analysis of quality could help.

I agree, and I actually do have people who are native speakers and not interested in the project that I work with. Hopefully with some time it can be something substantial
