Walkthrough
This block enables communication between multiple participants in their native languages. It supports English, French, and Spanish but with some modifications to the block code, additional languages can be supported easily.
A message is sent to the input channel. Then it is translated using IBM Watson API while the message is in transit. The published message is appended with a translation before it reaches subscribers.
Multilingual translation can be especially useful for use-cases like customer support, social apps etc.
