Lost in translations – a fun app of recursive translations

In plain words

Lost in Translations is an app that performs recursive translations, converting text through multiple languages in sequence. Designed for anyone interested in how meaning shifts through translation chains, it offers a playful way to see how phrases transform as they move between languages. The app highlights the quirks and unexpected changes that occur when text passes through repeated translation cycles.
