Quick answer
Talksy is a live translator for Discord. It translates messages in real time — the moment they are posted — and shows the result inline, under the original speaker’s name and avatar, so a multilingual channel reads like one conversation. No copy-paste, no separate tab, 100+ languages, free to start. (Talksy translates text and chat, not live voice channels.)
Discord Live Translator — Real-Time Translation
A "live" translator means the translation happens automatically, in real time, right where the conversation is — not in a browser tab you keep flipping to. On Discord that matters: gaming callouts, trading alerts and fast group chats do not wait for you to paste a message into Google Translate. Talksy reads each message as it is posted and drops the translation into the same channel almost instantly.
How live translation works on Discord
When a member enables a language with /talksy, Talksy watches the channels an admin has turned on. Each new message is detected, translated, and re-posted through a Discord webhook using the original sender’s name and avatar — so the live translation looks like the person simply typed it in your language. Nobody has to press anything per message.
In the channel, in real time:
Kenji: 誰かボス手伝ってくれない？
Kenji 🇺🇸: Can someone help me with the boss?
Live vs. copy-paste translation
Copy-pasting into a translator breaks the flow: you lose who said what, the timing, and the context of a fast conversation. A live inline translator keeps everything in place — the original and the translation sit together in the channel, in order, attributed to the right person. That is the difference between "we can technically translate messages" and "everyone just reads the chat in their own language."

Frequently asked questions
What is a live translator for Discord?
A live translator translates messages in real time — the moment they are sent — instead of you copy-pasting text into a separate translator. Talksy is a live translator for Discord: when someone posts in another language, the translated version appears in the same channel almost instantly, under the original speaker’s name and avatar.
How fast is the translation?
Effectively real time. Talksy detects the language and posts the translation inline right after the original message, so an active multilingual channel reads like one continuous conversation rather than a series of delays.
Does it translate Discord voice chat live?
No — Talksy is a live translator for text and chat messages, not voice channels. It does not transcribe or translate spoken audio. If you need live spoken voice-chat translation, that is a different category of bot. For real-time text and chat translation across 100+ languages, Talksy has you covered.
Is the live translator free?
Yes. The free tier includes 100 automatic (live) translations, 100 manual /translate commands, and 50 flag-reaction translations per member each month, across 100+ languages. Talksy Pro (€8.99/mo) removes the caps for unlimited real-time translation.
Do I have to press anything for each message?
No. Once a member sets their language with /talksy, live translation is automatic for every message in an enabled channel — no reacting, no commands. You can also translate one-off messages on demand with a flag-emoji reaction.
