About The Project

[]

This project is a project which was made for the 2021's Hackapalooza (Winner of the Best Use of Google Cloud prize). It consists on a live translator for discord which allows to limit languages to channels and translates which aren't written in it.

This means, you can set up a channel so it only accepts messages on English and if they're not written in it, it just translates the message in real time

Built With

This bot uses several libraries and technologies to work:

• Discord.py for the discord Bot
• Gspread for the Google Sheets API integration with Python
• LibreTranslate PY for the detection and translation using LibreTranslate
