# Basic Usage Information.

## Commands and prefix <a href="#prefix-and-commands" id="prefix-and-commands"></a>

You can use discord slash commands to interact with the bot (recommanded and more user friendly).

If you want to use legacy features, bot’s default prefix is **`!tr`**, or **`!translate`**  - All commands must start with this prefix for the bot to process them.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Important Note**

RitaBot must have proper permissions in all relevant channels for full functionality (**read**, **write**, **react**, **mention**, **attachments**, **embed, use external emojis, manage webhooks**).
{% endhint %}

### Legacy command structure <a href="#command-structure" id="command-structure"></a>

\[prefix] + \[main command] + \[parameters]

**For Example:**

`!translate help modules`

`!tr help modules`

`!tr help`

{% hint style="info" %}
If you need help at any point join our [**Discord Server**](https://discord.gg/mgNR64R) and someone will help you.
{% endhint %}
