Better Late than Never! Announcing myGengo’s brand new website

Regular users of myGengo have probably noticed, but we have a brand new website!

This is Phase 2 of our redesign (for Phase 1, click here) and there's tons more to see, do and be excited about. Here's the rundown:

Translate
We have a brand new order form to make it easier for you to place an order. You can also easily check how much your translation will cost using our 10-second quote. The biggest addition to Translate is Doc Uploads - you can now upload MS Office, Acrobat, Rich Text Format, Plain text files of up to 2Mb and receive your translation without the loss of formatting.

String
String. has been in beta for awhile now, but it has a fancy new website to formally announce it and explain what you can do. Because it's still in beta, please be patient with us : ) we'll try to fix bugs and respond to your feedback messages as soon as we can.

API/Discover/Publish
Our next big release will be the Translate API, which we hope to roll out in the upcoming weeks. With the API, you can order and manage myGengo translations from your website or app instantly with a click of a button. And don't forget about Discover and Publish, which will allow users to read and publish human-translated articles and blogs.

Twitter Translations
We've started translating tweets by Japanese Prime Minister (@hatoyamayukio) into English, along with Paris Hilton (@parishilton) into Japanese and Spanish. We're still taking requests for celebrities you want translated - just send a tweet to @myGengo!

Other Updates
We got some great (and otherwise puzzling) feedback on our recent TechCrunch article, which was also featured in the Washington Post. We were also in CNET Japan, Financial Times and Mycom Journal recently. Be sure to check it out!

Matt and Rob are on a business trip across the sea in sunny California along with our investor/advisor/all-around-awesome guy Dave McClure, talking to potential partners who can grow the business, and to spread the word about myGengo in the San Francisco-Bay Area. We'll give you an update on this soon!
