Translation

The Translation module allows you to translate texts via a Custom Command, quick-translations by reacting with a specified emoji, daily translation limits, and more!

Credentials

The Translation module requires you to add your own DeepL API key in order to handle translations, allowing you to select the account tier and the daily translations limit.

To create an API key, follow the steps below.

Select the tier you wish to use for your translations, whether it is the Free Tier or Paid Tiers. If you wish to have the free tier, please select 'Sign up for free'.
