Basic Usage
Learn the basics of using Discord Translator bot, including installation, permissions, default prefix, command structure, and a list of help sections.
Installation
Follow these steps to install the bot on your Discord server:
- Click on the Install link
- Select your Discord server from the list (you need to have invite permissions)
- Authorize the bot to join your server along with the necessary permissions
- Write the
-t helpcommand for instructions within Discord
Bot must have the proper permissions in all relevant channels for full functionality. The minimum requirements for this bot are:
| Permission | Description |
|---|---|
| See Text and Voice Channels | The bot does not function without being able to view channels and read messages. This permission is required for processing commands and automated tasks. |
| Send Messages | The bot must be able to write on server channels for responding to commands and automated tasks. |
| Embed Links | The bot sends messages in a special format called RichEmbed, which is similar to link previews on Discord. It also lists links to the official website and wiki for help. |
| Read Message History | The bot needs access to message history for translating old messages through flag emoji reaction, and to sync edits/deletions. |
| Manage Messages | This permission is required for syncing edits and deletions between original messages and their translations. It is also needed for the auto-delete-commands feature. |
| Attach Files | This is an optional permission which allows the bot to forward user attachments in auto-translated channels. |
| Manage Roles | This is only required if you wish to auto-translate or ban specific users without manually assigning them the auto-translate or no-translate roles. |
| Manage Webhooks | This is optional for enabling the Webhook style - an innovative Webhook integration to output translations in a clear format (replaces the bot's avatar and name). |
