Translation and language

Translate a message or your own text, and the chat setting for translated X posts.

On Telegram, /translate turns a message you reply to, or text you type yourself, into another language. /lang is a separate admin setting that translates the X posts Rick previews in a chat.

Translate a message

  • /translate [language] in reply to a message - translate that message. Quote part of the message to translate only that part. /tr is the short form, for example /tr cn for Chinese or /translate alone for English.
  • /tr <text> [language] - translate text you type. Put the language last, for example /tr hola french.

Rick translates into English unless you name another language, and detects the input language automatically. The two modes accept different language input:

  • Reply mode accepts any language, as a code or a full name, for example es, Spanish, or Brazilian Portuguese.
  • Direct text mode only recognises the languages below. Any other last word is treated as part of the text and the result is English.

Rick keeps the result about as short as the source and leaves the text as-is if it is already in the language you asked for. Only text messages are supported. Each translation costs 1 AI credit, see the credit table.

You can also just mention Rick and ask him to translate something, with your own instructions, for example Rick, translate & tldr this in reply to a message, or Rick, translate this page to English <url> for a webpage.

Translated X posts

/lang <code> makes Rick translate the X posts it reposts in the chat into that language. /lang off disables it (the default), and /lang alone shows the current setting and the supported codes. Admins only. It only works in the classic repost mode (/vx classic). With the default reposter, reply to the repost with /tr instead.

On Discord, the same codes go into the mode option of /fixtwitter. See X link reposting.

/lang does not change the language Rick replies in. For that, set a custom prompt.
