TranslatorPlus

TranslatorPlus is an unofficial BetterDiscord plugin that brings fast, in-client translation to Discord conversations.

It is built for multilingual chats, gaming communities, international support servers, and direct messages where switching to an external translator breaks the flow.

Installation

1. Install BetterDiscord.
2. Download TranslatorPlus.plugin.js from the latest release.
3. Move the file into your BetterDiscord plugins folder:
   • Windows: %AppData%\BetterDiscord\plugins
4. Open Discord.
5. Go to User Settings > BetterDiscord > Plugins.
6. Enable TranslatorPlus.

Usage

• Click the TranslatorPlus button near the chat box to open settings.
• Right-click that button to toggle outgoing auto-translation.
• Hover a message and click the translate icon to translate that message.
• Right-click a message to translate or revert it.
• Select text in a message, right-click, and choose the selected-text translation action.
• Enable incoming auto-translate when you want new messages to be translated automatically.

Privacy

TranslatorPlus does not intentionally collect, store, or upload analytics.

Text you choose to translate is sent to the selected translation provider. If you use Groq or OpenRouter, your configured API key is stored locally in BetterDiscord's plugin data storage.

Do not translate sensitive private information unless you trust the selected translation provider.

Performance Notes

The plugin avoids continuous message scanning. Incoming auto-translation is event-driven and uses a small queue so active chats do not create unnecessary CPU or network load.

Translation responses are cached in memory with an LRU-style cache to avoid repeated requests for the same text.
