Auto Setup Feature
Auto Setup (formerly known as "Mirror") is HephBot's most powerful feature for creating multilingual server sections. It automatically replicates entire categories and channels across different languages with real-time content synchronization.
🎯 What is Auto Setup?
Auto Setup creates complete language-specific versions of your server sections. When you set up an auto setup:
- The bot creates new categories with translated names
- All channels in the source category are replicated with translated names
- Messages sent in any language version are automatically translated and posted in all other versions
- Everything stays synchronized in real-time
