SMS service to help you communicate in unfamiliar languages. Created for ConUHacks IV.
Local Language Assistance (LLA for short) allows for people seeking help with the local language to be able to ask simple questions such as how to order a coffee at Tim Horton's and get fast responses from people fluent in the language.
LLA is built in Java and the Spark framework, using Twilio as the service that handlers the text messages. The app uses a database in order to keep track of the messages and forward the questions and answers to the appropriate people. All of this runs on a DigitalOcean virtual server.
