Kagi Translate introduces “LinkedIn Speak” for satirical, corporate-style announcements

Kagi has expanded its translation service, Kagi Translate, with the introduction of “LinkedIn Speak”, a satirical language option. While traditional translation tools focus on accurate conversions, this latest addition is designed to mimic the elaborate style common on LinkedIn. Simple phrases are transformed into lengthy, announcement-style posts featuring short sentences that emphasize personal growth, reflection, and achievement. Emoji and hashtags are routinely included, contributing to the parody of corporate communication.

Users can see examples such as turning a basic project update into an enthusiastic announcement highlighting collaboration and innovation. For example, a simple sentence like “Today, I've completed an interesting project!” turns into “🚀 Thrilled to announce that I’ve officially crossed the finish line on an incredibly rewarding project today! It’s been an amazing journey of growth, collaboration, and problem-solving. Grateful for the opportunity to push boundaries and deliver impactful results. 📈 #Achievement #GrowthMindset #ProjectManagement #Innovation #Success”. The translator also offers a reverse function: LinkedIn posts with motivational language and hashtags can be converted back to plain English for clearer communication.

Extending its playful approach, Kagi Translate already included other novelty and pop culture-inspired languages like Corporate Jargon, Reddit Speak, and Gen Z, as well as fictional tongues such as Dothraki, Elvish, Middle English, and Pirate Speak. These options underline Kagi's focus on flexibility and entertainment for users experimenting with different communication styles.

I believe it's important to note that the "from X language" and "to Y language" fields can be changed into any custom string that the user provides and you could already do that for a long time since the underlying tech is LLM-based - that of course has the biggest potential of misuse I think, so I suggested once that they should include a disclaimer for playful/joke languages, niche conlangs (like toki pona) or other obscure languages that the translation of course couldn't be verbifiably accurate and that it is mostly a toy, and I'm quite pleased that they went through with my suggestion. Kagi is pretty cool and they've been approaching AI tech in a good way.

I would have been one of the best AI feature that Microsoft should have implemented. But no, Microsoft prefers to add text generating in Notepad.

Coming here to see that Kagi can not only translate into corporate speech, but reverse translate into normal speech, that's so funny !
