Very cool!

Let's say I wanted to Unbabel something from German to English. How long is 'Can take some time?'

Also, how long does it take to Unbabel something given 'Regular service' conditions?

Last question, how long before 'Unbabel' catches on as a verb?

Thanks Trey. Our goal is to get to 15 minutes of translation time. That would make it usable for email and customer service messages. Right now it depends on when our users are awake and which language pair. Faster time has been a few minutes, average is around an hour.

re the transformation into a verb, it works well and feels natural. I would say not long. Great name.
