BabelWeave is a Discord translation bot that automatically translates messages between language-specific channels — in real time, with threads, forums, and reactions kept in sync.
Each language gets its own channel. BabelWeave relays with webhooks so the copy still looks like the person who wrote it.
Replies and media fan out with the translation — still under the author’s name.
Demo is slowed down so you can follow both sides of the chat. Translated copies arrive via webhook under the author’s name — Discord marks them with APP.
Built for servers that already organize chat by language — not for stuffing every translation under one message.
Nora chats in #deutsch like normal. No slash commands, no “please translate” ritual.
Channels in the same translation group are linked. The text goes to Gemini only long enough to translate.
#english and #français get Nora’s line in their language — still under her name and avatar.
Threads, forums, and reactions stay tied together across the group so context does not shatter by language.
