Customizable Bot Responses

Make translated messages fit your channel style. Head to your settings to choose how the bot delivers translations — as a threaded reply or a standalone message. Pick from format presets or build your own template with placeholders like {message}, {username}, {lang}, and {flag}. A live preview shows exactly what your chat will see.

Official Twitch Extension

Meet the companion extension for Universal Translator! The streamer view puts VIP messages, moderator messages, and translated texts in one clean feed so you never miss what matters. Viewers get a panel showing the most popular languages in your chat. Install it from the Twitch dashboard in seconds — it works right alongside your existing bot.

Mobile-Friendly Experience

Universal Translator now works great on your phone! We have fully adapted the landing page, dashboard, live chat view, streamers page, navigation, and all modals for mobile devices. Whether you are setting up your bot on the go or checking translations from your phone, everything feels right at home on smaller screens.

VIP & Moderator Messages

Never miss an important message when chat gets wild. VIP and moderator messages now appear alongside translations with distinct color-coded styling — pink for VIPs, green for mods. Easily toggle them on or off with one click to focus on what matters. This feature is free and always will be.

Alternative & Fun Languages
