Congrats on the launch!

Also question: your writing makes you seem quite bilingual and fluent in English. Given this, would you consider yourself a user of your own product? Do you often find yourself needing to use it? It strikes me that the main users would be people who struggle with English specifically. Though I guess with recent innovations in China, potentially more English speakers will start needing to translate from Chinese.

I love this question!

Yes, I am bilingual. I was fortunate enough to study both in Korea and Canada.

I use our product every day when I’m meeting with customers in Japan and China. We joke that we are our very first customers. Personally, it’s best when I get to meet them in person and use our in-person meeting feature since I get to see their reactions.

I would say half of our users are fluent in English since they mostly work for U.S. companies. The other half would be people in Korea, Japan, China, and more who need the language support.
