Commands
A full reference of all PersonalTranslator commands and context menus.
/t
The fastest way to translate. Type your message and send — no extra options needed.
/t Hello, how are you?
The bot uses the language set for the current channel (via /set-language). If no language is set, it will guess from your Discord locale and prompt you to confirm.
/translate
Full translate command with all options.
| Option | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
text | Yes | The text you want to translate |
language | No | Target language. If omitted, uses the channel's saved language |
visible | No | Whether to show the translation to everyone (true) or just yourself (false, default) |
Example:
/translate text:Bonjour tout le monde language:English
/set-language
Set the translation language for the current channel. Once set, /t will use it automatically every time you use it in that channel.
/set-language language:French
Run this once per channel — you won't need to specify the language again.
/my-language
Set your native language — used as the target when you translate someone else's message via the right-click context menu.
/my-language language:English

Connect your own Google Translate or DeepL API key (requires Personal API Plan subscription).
