"I like burgers." in Hacker News speak:

> I'm curious if anyone has looked into the scalability of burgers. Honestly, I've been DIYing my own patties since I realized the local joints aren't really optimized for flavor-to-cost ratio. Does this even have an API?

Had lots of fun when this first came out - it just goes to an LLM. Lots of fun with nayan cat and other things.

The listed languages have extra prompts attached to them though

Actually you don't even have to edit the URL, you can write anything in the language selector.

Your comment, translated:

It looks like the system is picking up anything in the URL parameter as the target output language. Always interesting to see how these edge cases play out in production! #TechInsights #SoftwareDevelopment #Localization

It's an uncensored LLM, you can put anything in the url. Like, anything.

There's a list of "fun languages" in the language selector. Try the "Reddit speak", it's actually pretty good.

nice! Here is trump speak

Input: i like burgers

Output: I love burgers, I really do. They’re fantastic, maybe the best food ever created, believe me. Nobody likes a great burger more than I do, it’s true.

This is supported in the frontend as well, if you search for a language that doesn't exist, it allows you to use anything you want.
