# Quick Translate

{% hint style="info" %}
List of languages can be found on [this page](/languages.md).
{% endhint %}

## How it works

Pretty simple! Just send in any text channel: `.<lang-code> <content>` and your content will be instantly translated. As example: `.fr Hello everyone!` will translate "Hello everyone!" into french.

## Set up

Ensure Mr. Translate has the following permissions in *each* channel you want Quick Translate to function.

1. Read Message History
2. Send Messages
3. Embed Links

Then, make sure Quick Translate feature is enabled with `/settings quick-translate toggle`.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can change the prefix of Quick Translate with the command `/settings quick-translate prefix`.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.mrtranslate.bot/quick-translate.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
