BabelBot dashboard guide

The dashboard gives you server-wide visibility and bulk configuration. Use it when you prefer a visual interface over slash commands, or when you need to manage multiple settings at once.

Access the BabelBot dashboard

• Open app.babelbot.xyz/login
• Sign in with Discord (requires Manage Server on servers you want to manage)
• You only see servers where BabelBot is installed and you have the right permission

Server list

The home page shows all Discord servers you can manage:

• Install status – Installed or Not installed
• Member count
• Invite – quick link to add BabelBot if needed
• Manage – opens the server configuration

If a server is missing, confirm BabelBot is installed there and your account has Manage Server in that guild.

Server overview

Inside a server, the overview is your daily health check:

• Translation status toggle (on/off)
• Usage stats and daily activity
• Quick access to all settings

Daily routine: Confirm translation is on, check usage for spikes, verify critical channels are enabled, and review bridges for stale mappings.

Reply preference

Path: Reply preference

Choose where translations appear:

• Reply in channel – translations show as direct replies
• Reply in threads – translations go into threads

Use thread for high-volume or multi-language setups to keep channels readable.

Followed announcements

Path: Followed announcements

• Opt-in setting (off by default)
• Enables translation for native Discord Following crossposts
• Includes embed description/body text for those announcements
• Output is posted using your existing reply preference (reply or thread)

Use this when you mirror announcement channels from other servers and want automatic translation in your server.

Target languages

Path: Target languages

• Add and remove target languages from the supported list
• Language count is capped by your plan
• Each added language increases translation output, so keep the list focused

Disabled channels

Path: Disabled channels

Toggle channels on or off for translation. Disable moderation, audit, and bot-command channels so they stay clean.

Channel bridges

Path: Channel bridges

Link two channels for bidirectional translation:

1. Select Channel A and its language
2. Select Channel B and its language
3. Create the bridge

Useful for bilingual channels (e.g. #english ↔ #spanish).

Billing and plans

Path: Billing & upgrades

• Current plan, monthly usage, and remaining messages
• Plan limits (messages, languages, bridges)
• Upgrade options and subscription management (for paid plans)

Check this when usage changes or you add more languages or bridges.
