# All Features — Universal Translator for Twitch

Slang translated by meaning and emotes kept as they are, translated replies on demand, a Twitch Extension for your Stream Manager and your viewers, and giveaways — all in one service, set up in about two minutes.

## What does Universal Translator do?

- **Auto-Translate Chat**: Translates chat from 50+ languages — slang by its meaning, emotes kept exactly as they are. See what every viewer says, instantly.
- **Reply in Their Language**: Answer anyone in a language you don't speak: the !translate command posts your message, translated, right in chat. Available on paid plans.
- **Giveaways & Overlay**: Run a giveaway and every entrant walks onto your stream on a themed overlay. Pick people, ships, or pets, and draw a random winner.
- **Troll Mode**: One command, and for the next 15 minutes the bot answers your chat with jokes of its own — labelled as AI, and never in place of a translation. Available on paid plans.
- **Ignore List**: Skip messages from other bots like Nightbot, StreamElements, or Moobot. As the channel owner, type !ignore nightbot in chat to skip a bot, and !ignore remove nightbot to undo it.
- **Twitch Extension**: The companion extension for your bot. See VIP, mod, and translated messages in one feed. Viewers get a panel with the most popular languages in your chat.
- **Rewards**: Promote Universal Translator on YouTube, Reels, TikTok or Shorts and unlock up to 35% off your subscription — applied automatically.

## How do I answer a viewer in a language I don't speak?

Answer anyone in a language you don't speak: the !translate command posts your message, translated, right in chat. Available on paid plans.

1. Type !translate, a language code and your message in chat, for example: `!translate es Thanks for the raid, welcome everyone!`
2. The bot posts your message, translated into that language, in the same chat.

Language codes are the usual two-letter ones, such as es (Spanish), pt (Portuguese), de (German) or ja (Japanese). Your mods and viewers can use the command too.

## Browser extension or bot: which do I need?

It depends on who needs the translation.

- If you are a viewer and want to read chat in your own language, use a browser extension that translates Twitch chat on your screen. The streamer does not have to set anything up, and only you see the translations.
- If you are the streamer and want everyone in chat to understand each other, you need a bot. It posts translations into the chat itself, so you, your mods and every viewer can read them.

## What can Universal Translator not do?

- It translates chat, not your voice: there are no subtitles or captions of your stream audio.
- It works on Twitch only for now.
- Replying with !translate needs a paid plan. Incoming chat is translated on every plan, including the free one.

If you need subtitles of your voice, StreamTranslate does that and runs alongside the bot: https://streamtranslate.live/?utm_source=universal-translator.io&utm_medium=referral
