58 words

I’ve invented a keyboard that translates. Press the appropriate key, L14-Papiamentio, L6-Mongolian, L9-Chinese whatever, type the words in your native lingo and like magic … magia, Ид шид,  魔法 … they convert!

I typed in some swear words and asked for them in L21-Swahuli. It popped up as osha mdomo wako kwa sabuni.  Seems it means wash your mouth out with soap!

    I wonder if anyone else read the Swahuli out loud like I just did! 😂

    I think this is a fabulous idea BTW

      It was more like swear-huli when I did!

      Me too – if only!

    Nicely done! Yes, I often say I only know enough Spanish to get my mouth washed out with soap.

    I wonder if there is a such a keyboard, it would be a great invention. Great fun to read, Keith. Asante!
