Getting Started
PersonalTranslator is a user-installed Discord bot — you add it to your account once and it works in every server you are in, without needing server admin permissions.
Adding the bot
- Click the Add to Discord button on this website or use the link shared by the bot.
- You will be taken to Discord's authorisation page. Click Authorise.
- The bot is now linked to your account. No server setup required.
Your first translation
Once the bot is installed, you can translate any message in any server:
- Right-click (or long-press on mobile) any message.
- Hover over Apps in the context menu.
- Click Translate this message.
The translation will appear as a private reply — only you can see it.
Setting your language
For the best experience, tell the bot your native language:
/my-language
This sets the language that messages will be translated into by default, so you never need to specify it each time.
What's next
- Read the Commands page for a full reference of everything the bot can do.
- Check your token balance and usage with
/status. - Learn how tokens work.
