December 2, 2025


📜 Summary​

This update introduces a dev mode feature that allows servers to use the dev bot API for testing upcoming features. When enabled, servers will automatically route all bot API calls to the dev bot instead of the main bot, making it easy to test new features before they're released. The update also focuses on improving the auto-translate feature, particularly for message edits. When you edit a message in an auto-translate channel, the bot now creates a new translated message instead of editing the previous one, preventing duplicate messages. This update introduces a new :e: quick edit command that allows you to edit your previous translated message by typing :e: followed by your corrected text and adds reusable light-bulb tips in the dashboard so we can highlight workflows like the new edit command right where you need them. The update also improves support for character-based languages like Korean, Chinese, and others, ensuring single-character messages are correctly recognized as translatable content. Additionally, the "Original" label in translated messages now automatically translates to match the target language of the channel. Finally, this update fixes an issue where the website was showing all commands as enabled by default when only /translate and /ping should be enabled for new servers.




⚙️ Full Details​


✨ Added​

  • Dev Mode for Servers: Added a new dev mode toggle in server settings that allows you to test upcoming features by routing all bot API calls to the dev bot instead of the main bot. When enabled, your server will use the dev bot's API endpoints, allowing you to test new features before they're released to production. Dev mode servers are clearly marked on the dashboard with a purple border and "DEV MODE" badge for easy identification.
  • Dev Mode Visual Indicators: Servers in dev mode now display a distinctive purple border and "DEV MODE" badge on the main dashboard, making it easy to identify which servers are using the dev bot for testing. On the server settings page, dev mode servers show a prominent purple banner at the top with a "DEV MODE" badge and explanatory text.
  • Enhanced Language Support: Expanded support for character-based languages including additional Chinese character sets, Georgian, Armenian, Ethiopic, Khmer, Mongolian, and Myanmar scripts. This ensures better recognition and translation of messages in these languages.
  • Quick Edit Command (:e:): Added a new quick edit feature for default language channels. Simply type :e: followed by your corrected text to edit your last translated message. The bot will find your most recent translation, translate your correction, and update the message automatically. This keeps conversations clean and makes it easy to fix typos without sending duplicate messages.
  • Helpful Tooltips in Dashboard: Added a new tooltip system to the dashboard that provides contextual tips and tutorials for each page. A light bulb icon appears on relevant pages, allowing you to access helpful tips and tutorials specific to that page's features.

🔄 Changed​

  • Command Default Display: Fixed the website to correctly show only /translate and /ping as enabled by default for new servers, matching what the bot actually enables when joining a server. Previously, the website was incorrectly showing many commands as enabled when they weren't actually enabled in Discord.
  • Auto-Translate Message Edits: Improved the behavior when editing messages in auto-translate channels. Edits now create new translated messages instead of trying to edit previous webhooks, preventing issues with message updates and ensuring consistency.
  • "Original" Label Translation: The "Original" label shown in translated messages now automatically translates to match the target language of the auto-translate channel. For example, in a Spanish channel, it will show "Original" translated to Spanish instead of English.

🐛 Fixed​

  • Command Status Display: Fixed issue where the website dashboard was showing all commands as enabled by default when viewing a new server, even though only /translate and /ping are actually enabled when the bot joins. The website now correctly reflects the actual enabled state of commands.
  • Bot API Routing: Fixed issue where the website would try to call the main bot's API for servers that only had the dev bot added, resulting in failed API calls. The system now automatically detects which bot instance has access to a server and provides clearer error messages when the configured bot cannot access a server.
  • Single Character Translation: Fixed an issue where single-character messages in certain languages (like Korean "음") were incorrectly rejected as non-translatable content. The bot now properly recognizes these as valid translatable content.
  • Auto-Translate Edit Behavior: Fixed the edit behavior for auto-translate channels. When editing a message, the bot now correctly creates a new translated message instead of attempting to edit previous webhook messages, preventing duplicate messages and ensuring proper formatting.
