Congratulations on your launch, I know you and your team have been working on this for a long time, glad to finally see it. My only question is, do you have an API for the translator?
Margarita Shvetsova
@berthakgokong Thank you very much for your support, Bertha! And thank you for checking out Nitro. No, there is no API for translators, only for Nitro's clients. I am curious, why would a translator need an API?
Bertha Kgokong
@margarita_s88 so you can do it programatically inside of an application, I send a POST request to your service and you return a translated version, after some time . . .
Margarita Shvetsova
@berthakgokong oh, I think I got you wrong! Yes, absolutely, you can send the request inside your our application and get the finished translation not logging into Nitro. Please check out the Nitro API documentation to know how to add it to your application: https://developer.nitro.alconost... And if you have any questions about implementing it, you can write to us in Nitro's live chat, and our tech specialist will help :)

@berthakgokong @margarita_s88 API for translator would be helpful as it will allow to work in common CAT tools on NItro orders.
Margarita Shvetsova
@yehekim Thank you Pavel for this idea! As a translator, would you find it more convenient if you could work on Nitro's orders in common CAT tools?
Martina Hackbartt
Nitro seems like such a great tool for businesses and individuals! Congrats on the launch, the hard work shows :)

Hey Product Hunt, We are excited about introducing Nitro! Our whole team have been working on this product for a long time, and we believe we've made a useful product which will help many companies looking to go global. There are some big plans for Nitro's future, so stay tuned! ;) Please let us know your feedback and questions! We'll be here all day to answer them. Thank you! PS: There has been a ton of preparations, and I personally failed some of them, like getting a great hunter - shoutout to @benln whom could have been a perfect hunter for Nitro, but... I guess my pitching skills suck, lol. I'll try to do better next time, Ben! :) until then, I hope you'll take a look at Nitro and let me know whether it was worth your time :)
Maria Batryn
@margarita_s88 Congratulation on the launch! Nice video promo and story behind your product ๐Ÿ™Œ Would love to see it in action!
Margarita Shvetsova
@maria_batryn thank you Maria! So happy you liked it! When you get a chance, please give it a try and let me know what you think ;) just make sure you activate the coupon soon, as it will turn into pumpkin in 3 days ;) activation doesn't mean you have to use it right now, just add it to your Nitro balance.
Jenny Art
@maria_batryn Maria, thanks for paying attention to the video. It's really great when someone notices the results of the work you're involved in! ๐Ÿ˜
Nishith from True Sparrow
@margarita_s88 congratulations on your launch! I like the proofreading service. It would be great to show how the difference between how a tool like Grammarly would do the proofreading vs an actual human.
Margarita Shvetsova
@nishith_shah thanks so much for your support, Nishith! ๐Ÿ™Œ What a great idea! I'll think about how I can use it, an article or a video - but yeah, I think it will be very interesting, thank you for suggesting it :)
Rucha Joshi
Been following your journey for a while! Congratulations on the launch @margarita_s88 So far nothing has beaten translation by actual humans!
Margarita Shvetsova
@rucha_joshi8 thank you so much for your support, Rucha! Yes, one can't do without real human translations, especially if translating for business! :)
Congrats on the launch @margarita_s88 - and thanks for sharing the case study :) We'll need some translation on our Twitch Extension eventually so might be something we use!
Margarita Shvetsova
@maxwellcdavis thank you Maxwell! Glad you found the case study useful ;) Yay! I'll be very happy if you try it out. Make sure you activate the coupon for test translations as it expires in 3 days (if not activated).
Arda Helvacฤฑlar
We tried more than 5 products for the localization needs of our projects however each and every one of them failed eventually. Nitro seems like the product that we have been looking for. So thank you and I wish you great luck!
Jenny Art
@helvacilar We'll be happy if you try out Nitro. We hope that it will meet your expectations! โ˜€๏ธ
Margarita Shvetsova
@helvacilar thank you for your comment, Arda! I would be happy to chat and see what challenges you faced with previous localization solutions and whether we can equip you with what you need ๐Ÿ˜Š Thanks again and hope to talk soon!
Benny Lewis
Fascinating!! I do lots of multilingual work, but for very short texts. I've tried to work with multiple translators on sites like Upwork or hiring my own, but the workflow has never been large enough to make it sustainable. I've always wished a service like this existed! I see you also offer proofreading, which is great for someone like me who is multilingual, but wants to be sure quick tweets and such don't have small errors slip through. Looking forward to testing this out!!
Alexander Murauski
@irishpolyglot Thank you for your kind words, Benny. We'll be happy if Nitro suits your translation needs.
Margarita Shvetsova
@irishpolyglot OMG, Benny Lewis!!! It's such an honor for me personally to see your comment! ๐Ÿ˜ I speak several languages (very modest compared to how many you can speak) and I found your website years ago, and it has been such an inspiration!.. "Speak from Day 1" ๐Ÿ’ช We will be so happy if you enjoy using Nitro! I'm always there if you have a question or problem - in Nitro's live chat, just a click away ๐Ÿ˜‰ Thanks again Benny for your comment - it means a lot! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฅณ
Eivind Hรฅverstad
Congratulations on your launch! With a global audience, Nitro seems like a huge time saver and pain killer for self-funded developers (and others) in need of multiple languages. I will give Nitro a shot once we're working on adding more languages to our website.
Margarita Shvetsova
@eivindhaa thank you very much Eivind! Yes, we've had small dev teams translating a whole app with Nitro (when the app was not text-heavy or when they translated it step by step, adding new content gradually). We'll be very glad to hear your feedback once you try out Nitro! ๐Ÿ™Œ
Felicitas Hilge
Congrats on launching! Sounds like a very useful product. I really like how fast and easy you can place your orders. I also think setting the tone of your text is a very smart addition. Definitely gonna give Nitro a shot once we're working on adding more languages to our website.
Margarita Shvetsova
@felicitashilge thanks a lot for your support, Felicitas, means a lot to me โค๏ธ And thank you for checking out Nitro! The tone of voice is something we've added recently :) I will be very happy to see you among Nitro users! ๐Ÿ™Œ
Jenny Art
@felicitashilge Felicitas, thanks for sharing your feedback about our product! Hope you'll enjoy your experience with Nitro!! ๐Ÿคฉ
Dennis Crane
We've been using Nitro for years for UI strings localization into 10 languages. Very handy tool and responsive team.
Jenny Art
@dennis_crane Hi Dennis, we really appreciate your support!! ๐Ÿ˜
Alexander Murauski
@dennis_crane Thank you for your support, Denis.
Margarita Shvetsova
@dennis_crane thanks so much for your comment, Dennis - it's so wonderful to hear from long-term clients! ๐Ÿ˜ Your support means a lot to us ๐Ÿ™
Emil Bayazitov
This sounds like an interesting way of having my project i18n done. How long does the average 1000 word translation take?
Margarita Shvetsova
@emique glad to hear you got interested in Nitro, Emil! Nitro is best suited for shorter translation tasks, and we usually don't recommend sending more than 1000 words at once. It's technically possible, but it won't be as fast (definitely not a few hours!) and may be not very convenient if many questions about context arise. Still, from my experience a 1000 word translation can take from 10-12 hours to more than a day - because translators will take breaks and also take some time to go through the finished translation. By the way, if it happens to be a UI translation, chances are we'll recommend transferring it to our localization department, as UIs usually require context to most strings. Hope I've answered your question :)
Kseniya Avtukhovich
Hello! Congratulations :) The product looks great, but why should I pay for translation? I can use google translate.
Jenny Art
@kseniya_avtukhovich Free translations only come from machine translation, and the quality of such translations is unpredictable: sometimes it seems okay, sometimes there are serious mistakes there. But in Nitro, it's people who perform translation. They are all hand-picked linguists and they are native speakers of the language they translate into. So their work is high-quality and naturally it can't be for free. If you are translating for business, usually machine translation is out of the question, as if machine translation fails you with unnatural word choice or incorrect meaning it will look unprofessional. So it's best to turn to human translators and receive translations you can reply on.

Hello Product Hunt, I'm a Product manager at Nitro. We are very excited to share the results of our long-term efforts and ideas from each team member. Some of Nitroโ€™s features were a success, others were a flop, but as a result weโ€™ve made a product that solves the problem for people who need short or ad hoc translations into other languages. Weโ€™ve gone through many iterations and thoroughly designed the UI so that a new Nitro client could immediately understand how it works, easily create an order, and pick up the finished translations. Itโ€™s possible to send a text to be translated into multiple languages at once (be it 10, 20 or 50 languages), track the status of orders, exchange comments with the translators, and export the finished translations into Google Sheets. If you want to change something, we offer free revisions. Itโ€™s also possible to order and pick up translations through the API. We are very proud of Nitroโ€™s simple and clean UI (please let me know if you share our opinion - or not! ๐Ÿ˜Š) and hope youโ€™ll find it a convenient tool for your product translations. Any feedback and questions will be greatly appreciated!
Alexander Murauski
Hello Product Hunt people! Alexander, Nitro creator here. Nitro began as a one-man project intended to solve the weekly โ€œPlease, someone, help us translate these 3 lines of text into 8 languages" problem. I was developing my apps and software, localizing them into different languages, and every new version was a pain in the butt to deliver: I was waiting constantly for my translators to send the texts back to me... I thought I might not be the only one with this problem, so I wrote version one of Nitro in Java and showed it to my fellow programmers. To my surprise, they liked Nitro and started to use it for translating their texts. Back then, I never imagined how amazing Nitro would become. But with users sharing their feedback, and thanks to our team of devoted translators and developers, Nitro has become an essential solution for professional translation. Not just for devs, but for everyone. We translate app updates, marketing copy, ads, sales emails, blog posts, newsletters, work instructions, and even love letters. Currently, we translate into more than 70 languages. And weโ€™re adding more languages all the time. Nitro is backed by professional, native-speaking translators, support engineers, talented developers and managers. We deliver 60% of translations in just two hours. There are thousands of small texts translated through Nitro daily. Some of the texts come in and out through the API. Iโ€™ve been dreaming about launching Nitro on Product Hunt ever since the start of the project, and the day has finally come. It puts a huge smile on my face! I hope youโ€™ll love Nitro as much as I do. Just remember: if you need translations, get in touch with Nitro. Make it your mantra: Translation โ€“ Nitro. Translation โ€“ Nitro. Translation โ€“ Nitro. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Oh, by the way, make sure you watch the video above to meet me in person :) PS: Iโ€™ve got a special offer for you โ€“ a $15 coupon for Nitro which you can use to test our translation service. Use the code PRODUCTHUNT as a coupon code (valid till November 18). I would love to hear your feedback. Iโ€™ll be around all day to answer your questions. Thank you very much!
Margarita Shvetsova
@cctvdesigner Hi Max, thank you for much for your kind comment! We're thrilled to hear feedback from our Nitro clients! (usually we don't get to talk to clients a lot as Nitro works in a self-service mode, right?) It's wonderful to hear what you use Nitro for and it's rewarding to know it helps you with localization ๐Ÿ™ Maybe we can talk and see if we can make a case study of it :) I am in charge of writing such case studies and I personally make sure they turn out not just to our benefit, but to the client's benefit as well. Please let me know if you are open to discuss it :)
Luka Tavฤer
I like the idea and the execution as I have struggled with text translations before while developing applications. Good job and congrats on the launch. ๐Ÿš€
Jenny Art
@lukatavcer Thank you for your support Luka! ๐Ÿคฉ

@lukatavcer thanks so much, Luka! Your support means a lot! ๐Ÿ˜Š
Khrystsina Trusava
Congratulations on the launch, guys))) Does the platform really brings back the translation within 2-24 h? Is this rather 2 or 24? :)
Margarita Shvetsova
@khrystsina_trusava Thank you! It may really depend on the length of the text and the workload of the translators. Oftentimes it really just takes a few hours, but it's not guaranteed. I guess the majority of translations get completed somewhere between 6-12 hours. On our website, we have a chart with the real-time figures of what % of orders gets completed within 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, etc. It's updated in real time, feel free to take a look ;)
Pete Christianson
Very nicely done. Will check it out when I launch my next project as localization will be a key GTM aspect of it.
Margarita Shvetsova
@productpete Hi Pete, happy to hear you got interested in Nitro! It will be great to hear your feedback once you try Nitro for your next project :) by the way, the $15 coupon is about to expire tomorrow, so if you'd like to use it, please active it today (no need to order translations now, just to activate it for your account).
Jenny Art
Something human should remain even in the modern digitalized world! ๐ŸŒ Personally I find it very cool and important that Nitro is both a professional and at the same time a very human service. ๐Ÿ™ƒ Hope you like it too! Please let us know your feedback, we are all ears ๐Ÿ‘‚
Chris Ho
Do I get it right that I will see the price of translation right away? I don't have to wait for a quote, do I?
Margarita Shvetsova
@new_user_28581daf48387 That's right! In Nitro, you'll see an instant quote as soon as you've pasted the text and chosen the languages for translation.
Jenny Art
@new_user_28581daf48387 Thanks for the question! ๐ŸŒŸ The cost of a translation is based on the number of characters in the source text (including spaces, paragraph breaks, tabs, etc.), and as @margarita_s88 already said it is calculated automatically ๐Ÿงฎ
