BabelShark helps non-native English developers refine product texts by translating it to their language, revealing awkward English phrasing for easy fixes in minutes.
If English isn’t your native language and you’re launching a project in English, there’s always a risk of phrasing something awkwardly. You might make a small mistake, choose the wrong word, or construct a sentence that doesn’t quite sound right.

Surprisingly, BabelShark and its instant translation feature can help you catch these issues before they become a problem!
A Simple Workflow to Perfect Your English
Here’s how it works: start by writing your project’s text—messages, strings, whatever you need—in English directly within your HTML elements. You’re probably doing this already, but stick with me—the real tip is coming next.

Now create BabelShark project and set it to translate your content into your native language (Italian in my case). Embed the BabelShark code snippet (it’s quick and easy), and run the translation.

You can even do this on your development or even local server—no need to deploy to production yet.
Up and Running in a Flash
Setup with BabelShark is a breeze—getting started takes almost no time at all. Creating a project in your BabelShark account takes just a minute:

  • Create a project in BabelShark
  • Specify your project’s source language (English) and the languages you want to translate into (e.g. Italian)… that’s it!
  • Don’t forget to enable “Translate all live” mode for this project.
  • Paste the BabelShark JavaScript code snippet into your HTML—just a few lines and you’re done.
  • Mark the strings you want to localize by adding the “__” CSS class.
  • Open it in your browser… voilà! You can now switch languages instantly.

Once the translation is ready, you’ll see your project instantly rendered in your native language.

Now, read through it—or better yet, use your product as if you were a real user. Pay attention to anything that looks odd, feels unnatural, or just doesn’t make sense. If something seems off in your native tongue, there’s a good chance the original English wording is to blame!
Refine and Improve with Confidence
Instead of ‘We make good job,’ you’d revise it to ‘We do great work.’
Go back to your source texts and revisit those confusing spots. You’ll likely spot the issue right away—maybe a clumsy phrase, an awkward word choice, or a sentence that’s too literal.

With BabelShark’s help, you’ll get a clearer sense of how to tweak your English to sound natural and polished.
BabelShark isn’t just a translation tool—it’s a smart way to refine your English content while keeping your workflow simple. Designed by developers for developers, it integrates seamlessly with plain HTML, React, Vue, Angular, MeteorJS, and even mobile frameworks like Cordova and Ionic.

You mark only the strings you want to localize directly in your code—no messy JSON files or language tables required.
Try It and See the Difference
With BabelShark, you’re not just translating—you’re improving your project from the ground up. Catch those pesky English mistakes early, make your text sound natural, and launch with confidence. Give it a try and see how it simplifies your development process!
