It is not clear at all from the article that they never had a business model. Most likely they had to scratch their original plan at one point.
Congrats on the launch! I can totally see the need for this. What (if anything) would you say has changed in the recent years to make this technologically feasible for the first time? Have you looked into how the latest advances in NLP eg. GPT-2 has the potential to substitute translators entirely?
