Got this lovely message from a former student. Really warmed the cockles of my heart. ❤️ #LangSky
"Just a quick text to tell you that last week, I picked up my permanent residency permit for Austria. Thank you for teaching me the power of enthusiasm and that talent can be learned. Something I now use with my students as a German and English teacher. I walk in your footprints."

A super useful tool for translators and other language jugglers.

When you struggle to find the equivalent of a word or phrase in another language, do you sometimes find yourself opening Wikipedia, searching for it then navigating to the "languages" section to get its title in the other language?

Well, I do, and I got tired of it, hence:
