A simple AI translation app.
Ship #1
PollyGlot is a translation app that works with AI. You simple type what you want to translate, then hit the translate button. The website then makes an AI request to output the translation for you. The main goal from developing this website was mostly practicing integrating AI in projects rather than the translation itself. This can also justify why there’re only 3 languages in the website.

Final Devlog!
I deployed PollyGlot using Hack Club Nest and added some final details. I’m quite happy with the progress I made until now. It was kinda confusing as this is the first time I deploy a website with a backend (express).

Devlog #3
I finished creating the express backend logic for PollyGlot!
Here’s the flow of the website:
- User enters input on the client and clicks translate.
- The backend validates input, then make an AI request using the OpenAI responses API.
- When the request finishes, the server responds to the client and display the translation on the frontend.
I used the AI model openai/gpt-oss-20b through Groq’s free tier.
My next step would probably be shipping & adding the final details to the GitHub repo.

Devlog #2 
Almost finished the design of PollyGlot!
What I did:
- Worked on CSS properties to make the site render smoothly on wide screens.
- Made the website more accessible by using something called Semantic HTML.
What I learnt:
- I learnt a little bit about radio inputs & AI integration, as this website will mainly use AI for its functionality.

Started working on PollyGlot!
I’m currently creating the HTML & CSS code, then I’ll move to JS logic
It’s a simple translation tool that works with AI, I’m creating it mainly to practice integrating AI APIs & stuff like that as the core idea itself is pretty simple
