Inspiration

For the challenge of making a translator given on the LHD website, I thought of where would a translator help people of different languages and I thought of the MLH discord server and so I designed a translator bot for discord.

What it does

It mainly has 2 features:

1. Live-translation: All messages posted in chat that is not in English will get translated to English.
2. Translation: A command to translate any text to any specific language.

How we built it

Translator101 was made using the google-trans library for translation, lang-detect library to detect the language of messages and disord.py to make the bot.

Challenges we ran into

A lot of challenges as I had never used a translation library and thus constantly got errors.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

To be able to see the bot running and the fact that I learnt to use a new library

What we learned

The translation and detection libraries.
