Convert to other human languages

[brendanbabb]

If we just translate the message text into say Yup'ik, it is only 4 or 5 messages and assume we can use English addresses in other languages. Maybe do a regular expression for "and" in other languages to handle cross streets.

Feedback would need to be translated but other than that I think it would be doable to have it in other languages.

For the SMS version, would you have a different phone number for each language? Or can Twilio detect language preference from something in the SMS metadata (is there any?)

I think different phone numbers but I did see an election polling place SMS app that allowed you to change to 1 of 5 languages and then kept track of that via your phone number.

That's a neat way to do it
