Summary

Here's a neutral and interesting summary of the provided text in one paragraph: A developer from Mashape created a service that translates SMS messages to the user's preferred language using Twilio APIs for SMS and voice, as well as APIs from Mashape for language detection and translation. The service also includes a feature that calls the user back with a native language pronunciation of the translated message. The code uses Node.js, TwiML, and various Mashape APIs, including Sprawk for language detection, MyMemory Translation Memory, and Text To Voice. The developer provides step-by-step instructions on how to interact with Twilio, use Mashape APIs, and integrate the service into a mobile app.
