Language-Creator

Version 1

Ideas for further Versions

• Have language detections for formal nouns (person names, and names of places)
• Have language detection for word forms (plural, adjectives, nouns etc.) to make it less 1 to 1 translation
• Create written form for languages
• Add Diacritic
• Add tonal languages
• Add translation from other languages
• Add translation from made up language to other languages
