This new translation tool turns your real thoughts into "LinkedIn Speak" — and it’s as cursed as you’d imagine

LinkedIn is by far my least favorite social media platform. It's full of corporate speak, people patting themselves on the back, and aura farming.

The entire website gives off the same energy as claiming during a job interview that your biggest weakness is that you "work too hard."

But sometimes you have to play the corporate game. Microsoft spent $26 billion to acquire LinkedIn for a reason. Millions of people use it, even if I'm not a fan.

There's a time and place for professional networking and even a bit of "LinkedIn Speak." A new setting in Kagi Translate makes speaking like a corporate robot (or a C-suite executive) a bit easier and a lot more palatable.

Kagi Translate is a relatively new app. It works similarly to Google Translate and other translation tools. You enter text on one side of the app and Kagi Translate outputs a translated version of that text in your language of choice.

It's a free tool that tries to differentiate itself from Google Translate by not showing ads or using trackers. If you have a paid Kagi subscription, you'll get access to more features, such as document translation and an advanced dictionary.

But if you just want to enter text in normal English and have Kagi translate it to LinkedIn Speak, you can do that for free to your heart's content.

As an example, I have taken the above text and run it through Kagi Translate.

LinkedIn Speak

I’m thrilled to share some insights on professional branding and the evolving landscape of digital networking. 🚀

While every platform has its unique ecosystem, LinkedIn remains a cornerstone for high-level synergy and thought leadership. It’s not just about the "corporate speak"—it’s about mastering the art of professional storytelling and celebrating our collective wins. We’ve all seen the classic interview tropes, but in today’s market, "working too hard" is simply a testament to our commitment to excellence. 💼

Success often requires leaning into the corporate framework. There is a strategic time and place for high-impact networking. That’s why I’m excited about a game-changing feature in Kagi Translate that streamlines professional communication, making it easier than ever to sound like a C-suite visionary.

Kagi Translate is a disruptive new player in the localization space. Much like other industry leaders, it leverages seamless UI to bridge communication gaps. What sets it apart? A commitment to a clean, ad-free, and tracker-free experience—prioritizing user integrity. For those looking to scale their capabilities, the premium tier offers deep-dive features like document translation and advanced lexicons. 📈

Whether you’re looking to pivot your everyday English into high-level "LinkedIn Speak" or simply enhance your professional reach, this tool is a value-add for any growth-minded individual.

💬 Is LinkedIn Speak nonsense or necessary?

I think Kagi Translate did a good job rewriting my piece like a LinkedIn post. All the cliches are there, including spinning everything into a positive and overusing emojis.

I'm happy to say that very little of my voice comes through in the translated piece, so few people would assume I actually wrote that text.

But perhaps I'm being too harsh on LinkedIn. Maybe I'd double my salary if I learned LinkedIn Speak. What do you think about how many people communicate on LinkedIn? Let me know in the comments.
