# 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 %}
