Step 01

Create a DeepL account

The bot uses the DeepL translation engine. First, create a free DeepL developer account: DeepL Developer.

The service is free up to 500,000 characters per month. You can buy a Pro account if you need more.

Once the account is created, go to Your Account → API keys, create a key if needed, then click the copy-to-clipboard icon.

Step 02

Create a translation template

  1. Go to the bot chat window and type /template.
  2. Open the template page from the bot link.
  3. Select your account, channel or group.
  4. Click Add new template.
  5. Paste the DeepL key into the DeepL key (translation) textbox.
  6. Type a template name and add the translated variables in the content section.

<b>%FEED_TITLE%</b>

<a href='%ITEM_URL%'>%TRANSLATED_ITEM_TITLE_EN_FR%</a>

%TRANSLATED_CONTENT_EN_FR%

This example translates the item title and content from English to French.

Syntax

Translation variables

The syntax is:

%TRANSLATED_ITEM_TITLE_XX_YY%

%TRANSLATED_CONTENT_XX_YY%

XX is the source language, and YY is the target language. Supported languages are listed in the DeepL documentation.

Examples

Translate content from English to Spanish: %TRANSLATED_CONTENT_EN_ES%

Translate title from Russian to English: %TRANSLATED_ITEM_TITLE_RU_EN%

You can also use XX as the source language. In that case, DeepL tries to detect the source language automatically.

Step 03

Apply the template to your feed

Finally, configure the feed to use the translation template.

  1. In the Feeds settings grid, click Edit for the feed you want to translate.
  2. Change the template to the one you created.
  3. Click Update.

The messages sent from this feed will now be translated.
