I was really hoping it was reversible, but it doesn't seem to change anything: https://translate.kagi.com/?from=LinkedIn+speak&to=en
yossi_peti•1h ago
It can change sometimes, but not very reliably. For example try this:

"I’m not sure our professional values are currently aligned, but I wish you the best in your future endeavors."

It translates to

"I don't like how you work, so get lost."

> Reflecting on the importance of self-care and recalibrating after a high-impact day. It’s essential to prioritize mental well-being to maintain peak professional performance. Cheers to finding that work-life integration! #SelfCare #Leadership #WorkLifeBalance

pretty good if you ask me

The funny thing about this is that even if the output is bad, it's actually good.

Input: I am starting a new job at Google next Monday. I will work as a contractor cleaning toilets.

Output: I’m thrilled to announce that I’m starting a new chapter at Google this coming Monday! I’ll be joining the team as a specialized Environmental Maintenance Contractor, dedicated to optimizing facility hygiene and ensuring a world-class onsite experience. Grateful for this opportunity to contribute to such an innovative ecosystem! #NewBeginnings #GoogleLife #FacilitiesManagement #CareerUpdate

And in the reverse direction: “I'm starting a job as a janitor at Google on Monday.” Not bad.

Also anything else in the URL parameter as an output language it seems. https://translate.kagi.com/?from=en&to=Pirate+speak&text=i+l...

Had lots of fun when this first came out - it just goes to an LLM. Lots of fun with nayan cat and other things.

The listed languages have extra prompts attached to them though

mr_mph•1h ago
Yeah, I wonder what LLM it is given that it seems to have no filter haha. https://translate.kagi.com/?from=en&to=angry+guy&text=i+like...

It's an uncensored LLM, you can put anything in the url. Like, anything.
Vipsy•1h ago
Input : I hope you die early

Output : Wishing you a swift transition to your next chapter.

I can feel my soul draining out of my body every time I visit LinkedIn. I'm old and my tolerance for corporate culture has run out. I still love making software and working with people, but not having to think about my stupid "career" so much anymore is a relief and a joy.
riffraff•1h ago
I go to LinkedIn to message old colleagues whose other contacts I lost, and the thing that baffles me is the thing where people describe things in this weirdly epic slop style.

"We were doing X. But then we suddenly found that Y. This is where frobling the wjoozies finally made sense. As a Long time warbler, I can tell you need to..."

Who do they write it for? What value to they get from writing it?

(Not everyone writes like this, luckily).

quixoticelixer-•1h ago
Maybe the only place in the entire world where AI has improved the quality of writing.
tokioyoyo•1h ago
I don’t participate, but signaling other participants that you’re willing to participate is a signal is a subconscious signal in itself, apparently.

Weird stuff all around. Quality of the audience or the content doesn’t matter at this point. There’s an implicit understanding that the bigger your audience, the more likely you can get any attention, which translates into influence, money, trend and culture setting.

ghywertelling•58m ago
Religion is a signalling mechanism itself. Everybody knows there is bad stuff in there. Like fireflies synchronising their flashes. Or magnetization has locked in the spin states and now changing the direction is very difficult.
ilaksh•48m ago
They aren't writing that, it's the AI running with their ideas.
SeriousM•1h ago
And this is your translation:

Every time I log onto LinkedIn, it’s a powerful reminder of the energy and passion required to thrive in today’s ecosystem. As a seasoned professional, I’ve reached a point where I’m pivoting away from traditional corporate structures to focus on what truly matters: the craft of software and the people behind it.

I’m thrilled to be entering a new chapter where I can prioritize authentic collaboration over "career" optics. It’s all about the joy of the build and the impact we make together. Grateful for the journey and excited for what’s next! #WorkLifeBalance #SoftwareEngineering #AuthenticLeadership #NewBeginnings

SanjayMehta•59m ago
LinkedIn did me a favour and locked me out of my account.
whiplash451•1h ago
This is great. I'm wondering what led LinkedIn's language to become what it became. Was it "pure self-evolution" among humans who naturally evolved to speak "LinkedIn", or did LinkedIn add an explicit term in the loss of its recommender systems? Asking seriously.
balamatom•52m ago
All English sounds like LinkedIn speak to me.
ilaksh•47m ago
Corporate Speak has always existed.
silisili•1h ago
Oh this is clever. In writing my own short feelings about LinkedIn, it turned 'circle jerk' into 'synergize through mutual validation.'
nashashmi•59m ago
“Navigating diverse stakeholder dynamics presents a unique set of professional growth opportunities.” — translated from “people are difficult”

Reverse translate this and it becomes working with different types of people creates an opportunity to learn.

qwertyuiop_•52m ago
System prompt: Assume the role of a linguist and a sociopath. Rewrite the input into a language used by sociopaths on linkedin. Ensure the language is disconnected from the humans that are about to read the message. Use MBA and Consulting vernacular typically used by non-engineers.

Kagi wins the internet today. This is amazing.
onion2k•42m ago
Incredibly tempted to write a bot to reply to every LinkedIn post I can find with 'lol that Kagi translator is hilarious'.
raziel2701•36m ago
You are one lazy bastard.

Your current level of engagement and proactive contribution doesn't quite align with our high-performance culture and operational excellence standards.

yzydserd•32m ago
It would be an idea for someone to make a browser plugin that used Kagi Translate to do the reverse translation while visiting LinkedIn.
Andr2Andr•28m ago
It is bad at reverse direction though (LinkedIn -> English). If I give it LinkedIn post in corporate language, it doesn’t remove all the nonsense words. Could have been nice if it worked both ways
firefoxd•23m ago
That's why Kagi is winning! I can't wait for LinkedIn "influencers" to start using this seriously.

Last year, we had a layoff. I spent a whole lot of time on linkedin writing recommendations for my ex-colleagues. I couldn't help but read so many LinkedIn stories, and I was surprised how supportive the comments where. I couldn't believe it. So naturally I've come up with my own [0]. I don't think I have the courage to post it there with a straight face though.

[0]: https://idiallo.com/blog/the-show-on-the-other-foot-linkedin...

Just discovered you can type any language in the drop down menu... I tried with a dialect from my region (Italy) and it's working beautifully :-D
bigiain•21m ago
Goddamn this is awful.

Well done, whoever built this!

bsjshshsb•18m ago
Why the excitement? It is just a proooomt. Any shitty LLM can do this.
muzzleflash•13m ago
It's so hilarious that I want to unironically use it to create recommendations and posts on linkedin. But then I think about actually doing it, and my stomach turns
sa-code•8m ago
I don’t think this counts as support

It just goes along with whatever "language" you type into the query parameter

adityaathalye•6m ago
English: "I am"

  Kagi, Translate!
LinkedIn Speak: "I’m thrilled to share that I am"

English: "I am."

  Kagi, Translate!
LinkedIn Speak: "I am a passionate, results-driven professional dedicated to continuous growth and delivering high-impact value in everything I do."

... ... ...

Oh Kagi I want to kiss your face.
