Built an API that translates text to Gen Z slang (works in any language)

This content originally appeared on DEV Community and was authored by dziulatex

Made a simple API that converts normal sentences into Gen Z slang using Claude AI.

Example:
"I'm having a great day" → "Today hits different fr fr, got that W energy no cap 💯"

Tech: Symfony + Claude AI + 40-term slang dictionary

Cool part: Works in multiple languages automatically - just one prompt rule made it multilingual.

Built it for fun but now it's on RapidAPI. Thinking of adding "slang intensity levels" next.

Drop a sentence and I'll convert it for you 👇
