Comment

Inspiration

As comp sci students we are always using discord . However many studnets are hesitant to communicate in Discord, especically foreign students. A main reason is that students have many different mother languages, restricting them from communicating freely with their peers of other languages online. We want to make this bot so that communication is not a chore and translation is done automatically in realtime, making communication easy and straightfoward.

What it does

Translate chat text in realtime without any additional prefixed or promts needed talking.

How we built it

Built with Python utilising the Discord API and DeepL API.

Challenges we ran into

Low accuracy translation with Google Translate, therefore we turned towards DeepL for better translation. And no prior experience of using the discord API and WiFi not connecting making developement stuck.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Completely functional bot made that supports translating multiple languages and texts from multiple users.

What we learned

The functionalities of Discord API and DeepL API.

What's next for TLDR

Additional features such as text to speech or speech to text functions. Train our own translation models.
