Click the "Add to Discord" button on the homepage. You'll be redirected to Discord where you can select which server to add it to. You need "Manage Server" permission.

View Channel, Send Messages, Send Messages in Threads, Embed Links, Attach Files and Read Message History, plus Manage Messages and Manage Webhooks, which only seamless translation (Server Pro) uses. They are requested when you add the bot. It also uses Discord's Message Content and Server Members intents. The install page explains each one.

Yes. Every core feature is free, up to 5,000 translations per 30 days per server. Optional Premium plans add encryption, auto-delete, higher server limits and the full tutor. Donations pay the running costs first; anything left funds development.

Use /translate and enter your text. Select the target language from the dropdown. Source language is auto-detected, or you can specify it manually. Only you see the answer. Press Post in channel if you want everyone there to see it.

/watch @user sends you that user's messages in this server, translated, by DM, while you are still a member and can see the channel. Pick the language with language:, or it uses the server's default. Use /unwatch to stop.

Yes. /settings privacy allow_watch:False turns off being watched and removes your watchers in every server. Turn it back on with /settings privacy allow_watch:True. To block one person in one server, use /blacklist. /watchers shows who watches you.

110 languages for /translate and right-click Translate Message, and 55 by flag reaction, including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian, and many more. The translation provider detects the source language for nearly all of them.

Yes, for a limited time. Each logged translation keeps up to the first 500 characters of the original and the translated text, the language pair, your Discord user ID, the server ID and the time, so you can see your history on the dashboard. On the free plan it is deleted after 90 days; Premium stores it encrypted and deletes it on the plan's schedule. A cache keeps translated text for 24 hours, looked up by a hash of the original. We never sell data. To delete yours, run /deletedata in Discord.

Text is sent to Google Translate (its unofficial web endpoints), and to Microsoft Azure Translator only when Google fails. The provider also detects the source language. The privacy policy lists every third party and what each one receives.

Make sure you're using slash commands (type /). Check that the bot has permissions in the channel. Try kicking and re-adding the bot if issues persist.

Quality depends on the translation provider (Google Translate, or Microsoft Azure Translator when Google fails). Use clear sentences without heavy slang. Some language pairs translate better than others. Report persistent issues in the support server.

Join the support server and post it there. Include as much detail as possible about the bug or your feature idea. There is no email contact.

Yes. In a voice call it captions each sentence, translated, about two seconds after it is said, and can say it out loud in the other language. Voice messages and recordings are translated too. Live voice is part of every Premium plan; voice messages and recordings are free within limits. How to set it up.

No. Nobody is listened to until they pick the language they speak with /voice language, and /voice stop ends it. Audio is turned into text on our own machines and dropped; transcripts are not stored. The text is translated like a typed message.

84 of the 110: some with natural voices, some clear, some basic and a little robotic. Every language is captioned and translated. /voice languages shows the full list.

Voice is heavy work: every sentence is heard, translated and spoken on real machines, and every ten busy calls at once fill a graphics card. Paid plans and donations are what keep it running. What it takes.
