Check that Jibber is available

Jibber has to have been added to the server, or to your account, by whoever looks after your Discord setup. You can only use it in a place where it has already been installed.

Run a slash command

  1. Type a forward slash

    In the message box, type a forward slash, /.
  2. Pick the command

    Choose the command you want from the list that appears.
  3. Fill in the prompt

    Discord shows you a small prompt for the command. Type or paste your text into the text field.
  4. Press Enter

    Send the command.
  5. Read the reply

    Jibber lets you know it is working, then replies with the result. Only you can see the reply.

Use the Apps menu on a message

For a message that is already in the chat, you can send it to Jibber without retyping it.

  1. Find the message

    Find the message you want to send to Jibber.
  2. Open the context menu

    On desktop, right-click the message. On mobile, press and hold it.
  3. Choose Apps

    From the menu that appears, choose Apps.
  4. Pick Translate or Summarize

    Choose /translate or /summarize. Jibber replies, and only you can see it.
On desktop
Right-click the message, choose Apps, then choose Translate or Summarize.
On mobile
Press and hold the message, choose Apps, then choose Translate or Summarize.

This works for any single message you can see in the chat, including messages written in other languages.

Reading the reply

Replies are visible only to you, and they disappear on their own. They are never posted to the chat where others can see them.

If a reply is too long to fit in a single Discord message, Jibber sends it as a text file named jibber-result.txt instead, so you still get the full result. See the limits and long results page for the details.

If something goes wrong

A command can be busy, slow, or fail outright. The troubleshooting page lists what Jibber tells you in each case and what to do next.
