Lenguajero is a pretty bad name. It's easy to pronounce in Spanish (and is actually kind of witty) but is terrible in English if you don't know Spanish.

I'm the other co-founder of Lenguajero.

I'm having problems even beginning to imagine how I would pronounce Lenguajero. I definitely think you had a big naming problem and might want to consider persevering.

Maybe he should rename it to "Eyjafjallajokull"... all the Icelandic people have no problems with it.

yeah i kind of guessed that was it, it must be pretty hard to find a word that is witty and works well in both languages.

if you guys are serious about it being a failure, im sure there are a few HNers who would gladly take it off your hands and grow it into a biz (after rebranding it of course).
