Speak UX: translating the spoken language of a robot

Speak UX is a UX agancy that mainly works with chatbots, robots, and other conversational projects. As part of a project with one of Speak UX's clients, I translated the texts for a robot to say.

Interesting example

Because the robot spoke German in the translated version but still had a French personality, some well-known French words were kept in the translation, such as bonjour and merci. But when the AI voice said them, they were pronounced in German (e.g., bonnschur). To avoid this, I had to write the texts with a sort of phonetic spelling. So merci became meassi, for example.

In this project, I also had to make sure to write in a way that you would speak (short sentences, colloquially, etc.)
