Channel Translation

If you need help at any point join our Discord Server and someone will help you.

We do suggest you to use Group Translations instead of Channel Translation (easier to maintain)

Automatically translates any new messages in the current channel and forwards them to the target channel. Admins/mods can set forwarding to the same channel(not recommended) or other channels(recommended).

Please note that when you setup an auto command the target channel will not send back to main channel unless you tell it to

Legacy commands

!tr channel from [lang] to [lang] for #[dest]

!tr auto to [lang] for #[same channel dest]

!tr channel from [lang] to [lang] for #[dest] filter @[role]

Parameters

• for [dest] The target channel you want the translation of the from [lang] to go to.

• to [lang] (optional) The language to translate to, defaults to server default language if none provided.

• from [lang] The language to translate from.

• filter [role] can be used to restriction translation to a specific role.

• NOTE : Auto is for a single ( same channel ) translations, as photos, and Gifs, will not be duplicated or sent.

Notes

Help command for automatic translation: !translate help auto.

• Values wrapped in brackets [ ] are solely for illustrative purposes to demonstrate the use of the command. Brackets are not in any command.

[lang] values can be language names in English, native language names or ISO 639-1 codes. For example, german de and deutsch will all work the same.

• Messages by all bots are currently ignored to avoid loops, but we are working on different bot modes to enable bot translation.

  • Any message that begins with !tr or !translate will be determined to be a bot command and thus shall not be allowed to be translated.

Important Note

The bot’s default prefix is !tr (or !translate) - All commands must start with this prefix for the bot to process them. Bot must have proper permissions in all relevant channels for full functionality (read, write, react, mention, attachments, embed).
