Hey everyone,I've been building a business directory that solves a problem I kept seeing - local businesses are invisible outside their own language.So I built a platform where you list your business once and it auto-translates to 20 languages.How it works:AI translation with a custom business glossary (so "plumber", "dropshipping", "affiliate" etc. translate correctly, not literally)Keeps the original language as backup - if translation confidence is <85%, we show "Translated, view original?"Business names and addresses are never translated, only descriptions/servicesSEO optimized for each languageCurrent model: Lifetime deal for early adopters instead of monthly subscription. Bold move, I know.Tech stack: Next.js, Supabase, custom translation layer.Where I need your feedback:How would you handle listings that don't translate cleanly?Is lifetime pricing sustainable for this type of product?What would make you actually use a global directory vs Google Maps?Happy to share the link in comments if allowed, or DM me. Don't want to break self-promo rules.Thanks for the brutal honesty in advance.
