Reaction-based translation is a simple and intuitive way for users to translate individual messages on demand.

🎯 How to Use

Simply "react" to any message with a flag emoji, and the bot will reply with a translation in that language.

Basic Steps:

  1. Find a message you want to translate.
  2. Click the "Add Reaction" button.
  3. Select a flag emoji (e.g., 🇪🇸 for Spanish, 🇫🇷 for French).
  4. The bot will send a private or public translation (depending on settings).

💡 Best Practices

  • Enable for All - Reaction translation is usually safe to enable server-wide as it only triggers when someone intentionally wants a translation.
  • Tutorial - Pin a message in your general channel explaining how to use reactions for new members.

🔧 Troubleshooting

  • Bot not reacting? Ensure it has the Add Reactions and External Emojis permissions.
  • No translation appeared? Check if the language is supported in our Supported Languages list.

Tip: You can also use Flag Translation as a faster alternative for your own messages!
