I built LingoStream Live after watching international viewers flood a streamer's chat in a dozen languages while the broadcaster had no idea what they were saying. Tips going unacknowledged, questions unanswered, fans feeling invisible. The language barrier was costing real creators real money and real connection. The solution already existed for podcasts and conferences — real-time transcription and translation — but nothing was built specifically for live streaming overlays. So I built it: a one-URL solution that works inside OBS in five minutes, with no app for viewers to download and no technical setup. The translation runs both ways — viewers read the stream in their language, and the broadcaster sees incoming chat translated on their overlay. It started as a Chaturbate hackathon entry and grew from there.
