![]() On Mobile, it is a lot easier, just highlighting and clicking copy then having a pop-up icon to one-click translate from (insert detected language) to (insert preferred language). Whereas currently, I am having to constantly have a Translation Tab open in my browser that I paste the copied messages I receive into, when on Desktop. With Google Translate (Mobile), if you have Tap To Translate enabled, if you select text and copy it to your clipboard, and then click either pop-up GTranslate Icon or the Tap To Translate Bar in the Notification Panel at the top, it will automatically detect the language and translate it to your preferred language. I am also pretty involved in many (related) servers where the primary languages are Russian, French, Polish, Czech, Russian, Ukrainian, Spanish, Italian, etc., etc. and it would be incredibly convenient to be able to have a feature similar to the "tap to translate" feature that the Google Translate uses on Mobile. If I have to communicate privately with any of them, I have to have a tab for translation open in my browser to read what they say and to half-assedly translate what I want to say. It is just so that the Czech members have the freedom to chat in their own language and not worry about having a bunch of English-speakers being annoying about it, and so that the English speakers can talk to each other with the others using second-hand English to chime in now and again. We have independent CZ and ENG chat channels, but everyone uses both. would be my objective.I am heavily involved in a server that is half Czech/Slovak, a quarter of misc Europeans, and roughly a quarter English-speakers. But for the near future, adding some new commands and solving pre-existing bugs such as multiple commands at once, better error handling, etc. The next best thing for Translator Bot would be me learning DL and deploying my own APIs to overcome the problem of usage limitations of the free APIs. Also learned the process of making a basic discord bot and working with APIs. Learned some new concepts and modules to work with in Python. Hosted a functional Discord bot (ignoring some bugs) What we learned Successfully completed my first project in Python. Hosting the bot was a small challenge but that was mostly because it was my first time doing it. That being my only choice, I had to work with it. After spending a lot of time, I found some APIs that worked but they had imposed limitations on the usage because it was free. One other thing was that it was really hard to find free APIs which did what I wanted. Googling the basic syntax was quite an ordeal. The biggest challenge was I have never used python much and discord.py is based entirely on it. Using discord.py by Rapptz Challenges we ran into ![]() Other than that, there are also some commands to convert your text into funny versions such as pirate talk, Shakespeare-like English, etc. It also has a command to perform "spinning" on the given text which replaces words with their synonyms to make it look original. What it doesĪs the name suggests, it is kind of like a translator tool that uses APIs to produce results in supported languages. Also, as we have two foreign languages in our syllabus (french and german) this might come in handy. I wanted to try creating one on my own and this hackathon gave me a chance to do just that. I have been using discord for a long time and have always been fascinated with the bots created by other people.
