Getting Started
How to invite Translator Bot to your Discord server and configure it for the first time.
Invite the Bot
Click the Invite link or use the Invite now button on the dashboard homepage.
Select the server where you want to add the bot.
Grant the requested permissions and click Authorize.
Required Permissions

|---|---|
| Read Messages | To see messages to translate |
| Send Messages | To post translation results |
| Manage Webhooks | To post translations as the original user's name/avatar (link channels) |
| Embed Links | To send formatted translation embeds |
| Manage Messages | To synchronize message deletions across linked channels, and to delete the original message when a translation is deleted |
| Manage Server | To read server automod rules and apply them to bot translations; also used to generate invite links via /support |

First Commands to Try
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
/help | Display the help message. |
/languagelist | Command for servers admins. Language list supported by the bot |
/faq | Get the FAQ of the bot. |
/languagelist shows each language's Google language code in parentheses next to its name (for example english (en)). See Supported Languages for details.
Configure via Dashboard
Open the dashboard and sign in with Discord.
Pick your server in the left sidebar. Servers the bot has not joined yet show an Invite button instead.
The server page opens on its premium status and the list of features. Click any feature to configure it.
For the server-wide options — flag reactions, timeouts, whitelists, gift announcements — use the Settings button at the top of that page.
Free Plan Limitation
Priority Order
When multiple translation configurations are active on the same channel, the bot applies them in this priority order (highest → lowest):
/premium linkservers— Premium Link Servers/premium linkchannels— Premium Link Channels/premium reverse— Premium Reverse Languages/linkchannels— Link Channels/reverse— Reverse Languages/channellanguage— Channel Languages/defaultlanguage— Default Language
