I then implemented a translation command, which would parse any text following "!translate" at the beginning of a chat message. I started by creating a simple Discord bot using the Discord.py library, which made it quick to set up a bot to monitor chat messages, waiting for a command. My hope is that by giving members access to a convenient translation tool, beginners will feel less overwhelmed when peering into a chat room full of higher-level Japanese speakers, and more confident to join in the conversation. I thought back on these times as I wondered why the "Japanese-only" chat room was so inactive in a Japanese learning Discord server I'm in, and decided to make a bot to help make the chat more accessible to beginners.
I didn't want to pester people by asking them what their sentences meant, but I also didn't want to copy+paste dozens of messages into Google Translate so I could follow the conversation. As someone who studied Japanese for 4 years, I remember being a beginner in the language, shying away from participating in "Japanese-only" chats, since there were many words I didn't understand. I created this bot for use on a Japanese learning Discord server. See wiki for details & additional feature plans/ideas.
JAPANESE TRAINSLATION DISCORD HOW TO
This functionality allows users to quickly look up words they don't know how to say in Japanese, translate words they don't understand into English, or translate entire phrases between the two languages - all without having to switch back & forth between a dictionary website and Discord. (The abbreviation "!tl" can also be used, in place of "!translate".) Users can enter "!translate " into the Discord chat to have their text translated, or reply to a message with "!translate" to have the message they replied to translated.
This bot translates Discord chat messages from Japanese to English (and vice versa). Discord Bot with Translation FunctionalityĬreated using the Discord.py python library for Discord chat integration, and DeepL's translation API.
