The story of one message
No commands, no copying into Google Translate, no switching apps. Here is everything BabelBot does with an ordinary message, in order.
She types like she always does. No language tags, no bot commands, nothing special to remember.
トーナメントはいつからするか知ってる人いる？
BabelBot reads the message and recognizes Japanese automatically. Nobody had to tell it which language was which.
This server uses English and Spanish, so BabelBot posts both translations for everyone.
Does anyone know when the tournament starts?
¿Alguien sabe cuándo empieza el torneo?
Translations appear under the original message. Reply delivery uses Embed by default and also supports Plain text.
Reply delivery is the default, with Embed as its default presentation. Choose Plain text for translated text only with one target, or bold language labels for multiple target languages. If the output is too long, BabelBot moves it into a translation thread.
Every planThread mode tucks translations away so fast channels stay readable while nothing gets lost.
Every planAdmins link language channels. BabelBot posts each translation in the matching channel under the original member's name.
1 bridge on Free; 5 on Pro; unlimited on Ultra and Founder AccessWhat you get
New messages translate automatically in the channels you enable. Members can also add a flag reaction or choose Translate Text for a single message. Anyone in a voice channel can start live voice chat translation with /voice start.
Use replies, threads, linked language channels, or Replace the original. Replacement reposts human text in regular server text channels with the member's name and avatar, then deletes the original after confirmed delivery. Choose a different option for each channel and change it later.
Every planReact with a flag to choose the translation language. Admins decide whether BabelBot replies in the channel or sends the result in a private DM.
Every planLive speech becomes readable text while the call is in progress, as clean speaker lines or detailed embeds.

Reviews
The bridge function is a lifesaver for my international server. After years of trying other translators, this is the only one I'll keep using.
We needed a bot that gets context, jokes, and sayings, not just literal word swaps. Image and PDF translation sealed it for us.
The dashboard makes translation easy and is much more capable than most bots. The developer is super responsive.

One automatic translation counts once, even with several target languages. Each translation posted to a linked channel and each on-demand request count separately. After the AI allowance, BabelBot keeps translating supported plain text in English, Japanese, Spanish, Korean, Chinese, and 30+ more supported languages. Other languages need AI quota.
