Screen recording of a window showing real-time translation between standard English and teen slang using a custom application built with GitHub Copilot and Claude 3.7 Sonnet integration. The demonstration shows the phrase 'GitHub Copilot and Claude 3.7 are amazing together, wow what a time to be alive' being translated to 'Yo, GitHub Copilot and Claude 3.7 are straight fire together—no cap! We're living in such lit times, fr!' The interface displays both the original text and its translation in a developer environment with visible JavaScript code in the background
