Free Discord Translator

Live 5.0· 1,000 users· v1.3.2· 55 languages

Discord communities are global — conversations aren't. This extension translates chat in place, both ways, so a server in Japanese reads like it was written for you.

Why it's good

Four decisions that made
people rate it 5.0.

Translations live under each message — not in another tab.

No copy-paste, no context switching. Incoming messages get an unobtrusive, Apple-style translation frame right in the chat flow. Originals stay visible, and one tap on the globe reveals them anytime.

Translations appearing under Discord messages

Write in your language — send in theirs, with a preview.

Outgoing messages are translated before sending, and nothing leaves without your approval. A clean preview card shows exactly what will be sent — approve it or keep the original with one click.

Outgoing translation preview window

Two engines, one switch — including DeepL.

The free Google + MyMemory chain works out of the box. Plug in a personal DeepL API key and every message upgrades to DeepL quality — with smart caching and request queuing so the quota lasts. Unsupported languages fall back automatically.

Translation engine settings with DeepL

It looks like Discord shipped it.

Five color styles — including a High Contrast accessibility mode — light and dark themes, and an iOS-grade settings popup. Every element, down to the focus rings, follows one design system.

Under the hood

Small details, done properly.

55 interface languages

Every string — popup, onboarding, even the send-preview — localized, with RTL support.

Privacy by architecture

No accounts, no analytics. The translation cache stores SHA-256 hashes, never raw messages.

Quota-smart engine

Persistent cache, sequential request queue, automatic fallback chain across three services.

Zero dependencies

Hand-written Manifest V3 — no frameworks, no build step, the whole package under 200 KB.

WCAG AA accessible

Contrast-checked palettes, full keyboard navigation, screen-reader announcements throughout.

Layout-proof hotkeys

Alt+T / Alt+O work on any keyboard layout — Cyrillic, Latin or CJK — via physical key codes.
