Machine Translation Turned Into a Telephone Game
arnicas · x · 2026-07-14
The author built a "telephone game" style demo where little characters pass messages around at an international cocktail party. An initial English sentence is sequentially translated into various languages and passed along. They mentioned using Google's Machine Translation API, noting that it is "really good now." The demo was built with @threejs and started as a simple 2D prototype before Fable expanded it into its current version.
