And this is my response:

Translate

WordPress.com has a widget called Google Translate, that allows people to translate your blog/website into various languages, and this widget was announced on WordPress.com News in a post called Your Site, Now In Other Languages: Introducing The Google Translate Widget.

Besides finally being available on WordPress.com, things have gone pretty good for Google Translate recently.

There have been improvements to Google Translate like Neural Machine Translation which Google has a post about called Found In Translation: More Accurate, Fluent Sentences In Google Translate, and improvements to the Google Translate app like:

I hope that Google Translate, other free translation tools, and free services that offer unique approaches to translating like the crowdsourced translation option in Duolingo continue to improve as things like artificial intelligence (AI) improves and helps us to improve translation tools.

Juicy

Write a new post in response to today’s one-word prompt.

Here are the steps to get started.

And this is my response:

Juicy

Juicy, sometimes shortened to Juice, is one of my nicknames that some of my family members (cousins, aunts, uncles) from T on my mom’s side of the family gave me when I was a kid.

Most of those family members from T still call me Juicy and/or Juice until this day, I have more nicknames than this, but that is just one of my nicknames given to me by some of my family from T.

My mom has her own nickname for me, and some other people I know had some other nicknames for me.
