How to translate Discord messages automatically

You're in a server, the chat is moving fast, and half of it is in a language you don't read. Discord has no translate button. Here is every way to fix that, and the one that makes it feel like you've always spoken the language.

Translation bots

A server admin adds a bot like Translator or Talksy. You react with a flag, and the bot posts the translation as a new message.

It works, if the admin added it, in that one server, and if you don't mind every translation filling the chat for everyone.

Right-click apps

Apps like iTranslator work in any server: right-click a message, choose Apps, then Translate.

Fine for one message. In a fast chat, you're right-clicking forever.

Browser extensions

Extensions like Mate translate on discord.com.

Only in the browser. The Discord app you actually use stays untranslated.

Discord mods (Vencord, Equicord)

Vencord adds a Translate button to each message. Equicord can translate automatically with Google.

You install and set up the mod yourself, and it's raw Google: slang, typos and Hinglish come out wrong.

Subline: every message, already translated

Subline puts the translation right under every message in another language, by itself, as it arrives. You just read.

✦ AI lines for every message, by themselves. The AI reads the chat around each message, so slang, jokes, typos and Hinglish come out the way people meant them.
Names, pronouns, bios, statuses, thread titles and server rules in your language too.
Only you see it. Nothing is posted, and nobody knows.
Mac, Windows and Chrome, on one plan that follows your Discord account.
Install, link your Discord once, done. No setup, no keys, no admin.

7 days of AI included, from your first translation. Then $1.99 a month, or $19.99 a year.

Questions

Does anyone see that I use it?

Does it work on my phone?

Not yet. Subline runs on Mac, Windows and Chrome.

Linux?

Yes, with the Chrome add-on and Discord in the browser.

What happens to my messages?

✦ text goes through our server, which doesn't store your messages, and we ask the AI providers to keep nothing. Details are on the privacy page.
