Gengo
Gengo is a web-based human translation platform headquartered in Tokyo. The platform currently draws from a network of approximately 10,000+ pre-tested translators working across 34 languages. Translations can be ordered via direct order or API integration. The company name, "Gengo," comes from the Japanese word for "language."
Services
Users can order translations through Gengo's direct order form or API. Gengo’s API was launched in April 2010. It allows developers to integrate Gengo’s translation platform into third-party applications or web sites and is aimed at the translation of dynamic content such as blog posts and product descriptions on e-commerce sites. The API is integrated with services such as YouTube and Drupal.
History
Gengo was founded in 2008 by Matthew Romaine and Robert Laing. Prior to starting Gengo, Matthew was an audio research engineer and translator with Sony Corporation, and Robert headed Moresided, a UK-based design agency. Prior to its early 2012 rebranding, the company was known as "myGengo."

Mah Jong
by: ChicagoA third floor walk-up...
One block east of chinatown.
She walked by my window,
While the rain is pouring down.
Looking in she sees the easy money life everywhere
And it's clear she don't approve.
(and it's clear she don't approve)
Through a cloud of smoke I shoot a little smile over there.
And I .........
She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play.
She don't mah jong, wait she don't let me wait.
She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play.
But she loves to play ....
With the dark eyes burning,
I am opening the wall.
Can there be no other chance?
I feel my fortune's turning,
And I wish for nothing else at all.
Looking up I see her signal with her fingers through her hair
Telling me the hands are clean.
On the .......... I turn a dragon tail into a pair.
And the game is over.
She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play.
She don't mah jong, wait she don't let me wait.
She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play.
Though I don't obey her,
Still she loves to play her
(repeat chorus)
A tree blows up
From where the lanterns light the parlors on the street
.... waiting at the .....
And though there are not many things a pawn would ....
I'll beat.
We enjoyed the difference.
She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play
