Server Customization

Dashboard → Configuration → Customization controls how HephBot looks and behaves in your server — independent of which channels you mirror or auto-translate.


Bot identity​

SettingDescription
Bot nicknameDisplay name for the bot in this server (requires Manage Nicknames)
Bot languageLanguage used for bot replies and auto-translated slash command names

Changing bot language triggers a command redeploy so localized command names appear in Discord.


Flag reaction behavior​

Full detail: Flag Reaction Translations

SettingOptions
Delivery modeReply, Thread, Replace
Auto-delete delaySeconds before removing translation (reply mode)
Keep reactionWhether the user's flag stays on the message
Translate app messagesInclude slash-command / bot messages
Format modeDefault, custom template, translation only
Template{translated}, {original}, {original_label} placeholders

Default language output​

SettingDescription
Keep original messageDo not delete the author's message after auto-translate
Output templateCustom format for auto-translated posts
Template modePlain text or embed
Use user language as sourcePer-user setting: treat their /language as declared source

Ping forwarding​

When translating messages that @mention users, roles, or @everyone:

SettingDescription
Forward user pingsPreserve @user mentions in translated output
Forward role pingsPreserve @role mentions
Forward everyone/herePreserve @everyone and @here (use carefully)

Place the bot role above roles it must mention.


Mirror & media display​

SettingDescription
Mirror display modeWebhook (as user), embed, or plain text
Reply header templateHow quoted replies appear in mirrored channels
Media display modeAttachments as links vs embedded media

Translation blacklist​

Words or phrases wrapped so the LLM will not translate them (guild names, character names, etc.). Works with BYOK protection delimiters.


Feature flags​

Toggle major behaviors without removing configuration:

  • Flag reactions, auto-translate, mirroring, conversations
  • Message edits, deletions, threads, attachments
  • Polls, error logging to dashboard

Disabled features stop processing but keep saved settings.
