Translate Channels
Learn how to configure automatic channel translation and edit channel settings. Translations can be posted under the original text (same-channel) or forwarded to language-channels (auto-group).
Automatic translation is limited to 2 languages in the free trial. For more languages, consider buying a premium plan.
Auto translate linked channels
Instead of seeing translations under each message, you can link separate language-channels and forward translations to keep the conversation clean. With that setup, native speakers will only need to read and write in their native language in their language-channel.
All messages are translated and mirrored so the conversation across channels is the same. This is the preferred way for auto-translating more than 2 languages, We highly recommend this approach and offer support for setting it up if you need help.
First decide which channels you wish to translate, for the sake of this guide, we will use the
#announcements,#general-chatand#leaderschannels as examples.
Then decide which languages you wish to translate to; We will use English, French and Spanish as examples.
Now create the channels for each language, there are 2 options:
Open the Dashboard > Your Server
Go to each channel and edit the automatic translation settings:
- Automatic mode: Linked Group
- Automatic Group name: Use numbers or a common name to link channels
- Language: Pick the language of each channel
After you are done, you can make sure the channels are correctly linked using this command: -translate groups
If you have made any mistakes, you can always change the channel settings again or use the stop command to disable auto translation: -translate channel auto stop
