Slack bot to translate chat messages of any language into specified language

Because we are an international team and sometimes I don't understand what they all are talking about.

Traductor is using Microsoft Translator API, because it's free 😅

1. Get Translator API account
2. Create Slack bot
3. Rename .env.example file into .env and fill in values in fields

BOT_NAME=slack_bot_name
BOT_TOKEN=slack_bot_token
BOT_AS_USER=1
CLIENT_ID=microsoft_translator_client_id
CLIENT_SECRET=microsoft_translator_client_secret
TRANSLATE_TO=en
ADD_MESSAGE=message_to_append
SUSPEND_TIMEOUT=600000

• BOT_NAME — bot name given when you create a bot
• BOT_TOKEN — a token which you will receive after creating a bot
• BOT_AS_USER — pass true to post the message as the authed user
• CLIENT_ID — take it from your Translator API account
• CLIENT_SECRET — take it from your Translator API account
• TRANSLATE_TO — translate messages to specified language, check lang codes in lib/lang_codes.js
• ADD_MESSAGE — specify the message you want to add to every translation, check the screenshot above.
• SUSPEND_TIMEOUT — the time period in ms while the bot will not translate messages

4. Install dependencies of a project

$ npm i

5. Start server

$ npm start

@traductor: stop — suspend the bot for 10 minutes in current channel/group
