## Glottie Chat User Stories

1. As a researcher whose native language is not English, I want to communicate with peer colleagues in a chat-room where all messages are translated automatically, so that I don't have to fight with English grammar and correct word usage.
2. As a chat service user, I want to obtain a unique account, so that my personal identity couldn't be forged.
3. As an authenticated user, I need to be able to create new chat-rooms dedicated to certain topics and invite other fellow researchers to join them.
4. As a chat participant, I want to preview the content of each of my messages and make sure the system makes an adequate semantic interpretation of it, so that I could rest assured the intended meaning will come across.

What if an interpretation won't satisfy the author of a message? Will they be writing messages until a satisfiable version?

I'm afraid they will, otherwise there will be no guarantee of meaning coherence that is essential for effective communication. Do you think this approach might look pedantic and off-putting?

I can suggest adding a possibility to edit the translated message as well, a lot of researchers can not have a desire to translate a full text, but still are able to read the translation and add some minor changes. (e.g. when theorem name was translated too literally, sure they will be able to provide its correct commonly-used name in English). But this approach also has its own pros: it may teach users to describe their thoughts more clearly, who knows :)

Actually, I thought the meaning of one's input message should be restated using the same language, not necessarily English. The actual translation to other languages shall be generated as a second phase. E.g. 1. Russian -> Russian (in other words, with internal representation in a formal semantic language) 2. Formal semantic language -> target language (eg. German).

Got it 👍

5. As an invited chat guest, I want to join the discussions without registration, so that I could remain anonymous.
6. As a chat participant, I want to see all messages from other users translated to my mother tongue, so that I don't have to learn other foreign languages.

Will the user be able to see the original message? Since it's a chat for researchers it'll definitely contain various words, which should not be translated, e.g. explanation of PL syntax from a college or a name and etc. How these situations will be handled?

Yes, sure, the original message should always be accesible. Chunks of foreign untranslatable codes should be supported too.

7. As a researcher, I need to communicate with people from other countries, so that we could form an international research community.

Doesn't look like a user story for the chat app, but it looks great as a motivation part for 3rd user story :)

I admit, I'm a newbie in Agile methodology, will try and refactor this one. =)
