Why this is annoying today

Weeks of waiting

Agencies take two to four weeks per language. Your release does not wait that long.

Priced per word

Translators charge €0.10–€0.25 per word. A ten-thousand-word app runs past €1,000.

Broken placeholders

Generic tools translate your variables. A translated placeholder is not a typo — it is a crash.
