Interestingly, since the API costs money to use, they could actually make a killing from this. looking forward to the end of this.

The API itself doesn't cost money to use but the translation service does though. Devs can charge a small overhead fee to their clients and profit themselves.

Our mistake - actually the total prize money up for grabs is over $45,000

I'll throw up the updated number after some sleep!

Makes me sound like a hard-ass manager... :(

Wow, that's a great way to get your API integrated all over the place. Win-win for the company and developers.
