How to use Channel Translations

There are two display formats available for channel translation:

  • Direct message -  If you choose Message, the Straker bot will send a new message inside the channel or DM.


  • Thread -  If you choose In thread, the Straker bot will reply to your original message in the message thread.

 

Note: Character limit for the each message block is 3001 characters.
