#32Why is the suggested input misspelled? Is it because it is supposed to help with misspellings?

#33This is a really cool concept :) Generally in language learning it's a good idea to try to "think" in the language as much as you can so you get creative about how to phrase something with the words you do have, but if that fails, particularly when you're just starting out this is a great motivational aid and conversation starter if nothing else :)
I would definitely recommend integrating with an established translator like DeepL as well as a kind of second correction as AI does get things wrong and having the two versions can help compare what may have gone wrong, you can probably keep your autodetecting language bit as well as I am pretty sure DeepL supports language identification and if not, I know Google does.
Good luck with learning Danish, I tried my hand at it a few years back but have switched to Finnish as of early this year

#38A long time ago, before SEO spam, I would Google parts of what I had written phrase by phrase (with proper nouns removed or generalized) and if the number of results was under a certain threshold, I'd assume I was wrong.

#39Tried it with some Dutch, only getting "Unable to process correction" errors. Good idea but seems it need a bit more error handling.
Hey yeah, I have ran out of API credits due to popular demand! Sorry that you couldn't try it this time :(
