Node Application

The application is a communication platform for realtime chat between two or more users. We utilized NodeJS, JavaScript, Google Translate API, and MongoDB.

Users are able to create a username, specify a language, and then enter a group chat. They can chat through command line to other users in the same chat server. We have utilized Google Translate API to translate one user's preferred language to the other user's preferred language. Essentially, users can communicate easily and effectively in multiple languages at the same time.

We have expanded this project to persist messages into a mongo database. We display the last 5 messages in the chat server to a user upon initial login.
