Back in December 2023, our plane almost flew through an Icelandic volcano on the way to Cornell hackathon: we missed it by just days.
Back then, we had no idea we were about to build something that would change how developers ship multilingual products. We were just two engineers tired of waiting weeks for translations.
Our hackathon prototype was rough - a ChatGPT wrapper that could translate JSON files. But when other developers saw it, their eyes lit up. They had the same pain. We ended up winning in two categories.
Today, Lingo.dev turns translation work into automated pull requests:
- Git-native UI localization with automated PRs and Human-in-the-loop
- Open-source CLI for web/mobile teams
- Real-time API for dynamic content
- Context-aware AI that understands product terminology
- Built-in support for 80+ languages
Just like Dependabot automated package updates, we're automating localization. What started as a weekend project is now loved by both solo hackers and enterprise teams shipping multilingual products.
The most rewarding part? Seeing developers' reactions when their apps start speaking new languages automatically. One founder told us we saved them months of manual work. Another team shipped their product in 12 new languages within days.
The internet is wild. You can just... build things! A weekend project can turn into infrastructure that helps developers reach users in every corner of the planet. Sometimes the scariest flights lead to the best destinations.
That's why we build. That's why we ship. And we're just getting started.
We're LIVE on ProductHunt today, please support!

A Heartfelt Testimony
I'm Ashley, and I'm thrilled to share my exceptional experience with SHI Intelligence. After falling victim to a fraudulent recovery service that took $60,000 from me, I was desperate to recover my lost $340,000 investment on Coinbase.
Unfortunately, I had lost access to my account due to a forgotten password. Feeling hopeless, I searched online for a reliable solution. That's when I stumbled upon SHI Intelligence.
Their team of experts provided unparalleled assistance, guiding me through the complex process of resetting my password and recovering my investment. Their professionalism, efficiency, and dedication to justice were truly impressive.
I'm overjoyed to report that, thanks to SHI Intelligence, I've successfully regained control of my Coinbase account. Their 10% fee was a small price to pay for the outstanding service they delivered.
I wholeheartedly endorse SHI Intelligence to anyone seeking reliable and trustworthy assistance with online asset recovery. Their expertise and commitment to justice are invaluable assets in the fight against cybercrime.
Thank you, SHI Intelligence, for your exceptional work and for bringing justice to my case.
Sincerely,
Ashley
