⚡ Quick Translation Methods
Looking for the fastest way to get translations in Discord? We’ve got two powerful tools to help your users translate without breaking the flow of conversation.
Whether you prefer modern magic or classic charm, HephBot’s got you covered.
🚀 Fast Translate
This method is lightning-fast and clutter-free.
To use it:
- Right-click (or press and hold on mobile)
- Go to Apps > Fast Translate
HephBot will instantly translate the message into your chosen language!
🕶️ Ephemeral by design: Only you see the result. This keeps public channels clean — perfect for announcements or fast chats.
🔧 Fast Translate uses your personal language setting, which you can configure with the /language command.
Admins can also prompt users to update their language if needed.

💡 Pro Tip: Teach your users to use Fast Translate regularly to reduce the need for clunky flag reactions.
🏁 Flag Reaction Translations
Love the classics? This one’s for you.
HephBot also supports the old-school method: reacting with a flag emoji (🇪🇸 🇩🇪 🇰🇷, etc.) to instantly translate the message into that language.
This method is familiar and easy, especially for users who’ve used translation bots before. While it’s not a native Discord feature, it’s been widely adopted — and we added it by request for fans of this approach.
However:
- Messages translated this way are visible to everyone, which can clutter busy channels.
- The translated message gets automatically removed after a period of time to reduce spam.
- That’s why this feature is optional and can be turned off with the /ignore command.

💡 We recommend nudging users toward Fast Translate for a cleaner and more modern experience.
🔇 Blocking Translations in Channels: /ignore

You can toggle it back on with:
/ignore channel:#announcements false

🌍 Set or Request a User’s Language: /language
Let users choose how they want to see translated messages — or help them pick a language yourself. This controls what language HephBot uses when replying with Fast Translate.
