dude, remember this is 4 hours work, in a hackday environment with weak wifi. api's were breaking left and right, but the good folks at apigee, heroku and twilio were responsive. i guess twilio does not handle 301 redirects for audio files, and apigee does not handle utf8 in their debug console, but other than that the app is just an MVP hackday thing, and we got it to work. andrew and I will probably improve the menu for any language supported by the Microsoft Translate API. twilio is awesome for this sort of thing, but my server languages are php and python, so i will probably port it to app engine so that it only costs per request, rather than instance time. also since twilio knows the incoming phone number, we will probably allow you to set a default language or something.
