Hi folks,
I just shipped a new version of Instant Emoji! ๐
This weekend, I introduced the search of emoji in different languages, starting with French and Spanish in addition to English.
I had the opportunity to look at various translations systems to translate my data set.
I discovered translate-shell which provides an interesting wrapper to Google translate, Bing or Yandex (cf https://github.com/soimort/translate-shell).
Results are pretty good, you can now search emoji in English, French, and Spanish ๐ฌ๐ง+๐ซ๐ท+๐ช๐ธ= ๐โก
You can test the new version here https://instantemoji.nidup.io/
Next step will be to continue to improve the data-set and to fine tune the search engine settings to increase the relevancy.
