Why won't it translate?

1. Your stream must be live for Lingo Echo to join and translate. 2. If your chat is in follower-only or subscriber-only mode, make Lingo_Echo a moderator using /mod @Lingo_Echo so it can send messages. Other rules: Lingo Echo avoids translating rude or toxic content, ignores short messages unless in Japanese, Korean, or Chinese, and skips emotes, commands, bots, and URLs. Moderators can send messages more frequently; make Lingo_Echo a moderator for best results.

What if I want to ignore certain languages or users?

When setting your translation preferences, there's an Advanced Options section where you can choose languages to ignore, useful if you stream in multiple languages but only want to translate others. You can also ignore messages from specific users, such as bots.

Which personal data does the bot store?

The bot stores only your Twitch username, selected translation language, and any ignored languages/usernames. It temporarily uses your public Twitch bio, recent games, stream titles, periodic stream screenshots, and Twitch status for features like @Lingo_Echo replies. This data is deleted within minutes after your stream ends and is never stored permanently.

I am already using the bot, and I want to get rid of it. How do I do that?

Reauthorize via the 'Connect with Twitch' button, then disable the bot on the preferences page.

It worked before and now it doesn't.

1. Try unbanning the bot with /unban lingo_echo. 2. Check if your chat is in restricted mode and give it moderator status if needed. 3. Reauthorize it using the 'Connect with Twitch' button if you disconnected it.

Shoutouts: !LingoSO @username (mods & broadcaster). Giveaways: !LingoCODE starts a guessing game; !LingoUNCODE cancels; or use !LingoGA open|close with !enter. Conversations: talk to the bot with @Lingo_Echo — supports multiple threads.

Is there a Twitch banner?

Yes. Official Lingo Echo banners are available for download to show translations are enabled.

When setting your translation preferences, there's an Advanced Options section where you can choose languages to ignore in addition to the one you're translating to. This is useful if, for example, you stream in both Spanish and English but want to translate messages posted in other languages than those two.

The same section allows you to enter the names of users whose messages you wish to ignore (such as any bots in your channel). Most commercial bots are already ignored by default.

The bot only stores your Twitch username, your selected translation language, and any languages/usernames you've chosen to ignore. It does not access any other private information. Once authorized, all interactions occur directly through Twitch, allowing the bot to read and send chat messages only - nothing more.

Additionally, to enhance context-aware features, the bot temporarily stores in its memory your public Twitch bio, recently played games, titles of your recent streams, periodically captured stream screenshot, and your Twitch status (partner/affiliate/regular). Since this information can change, it is loaded into memory when your stream goes live and unloaded 5 minutes after your stream ends. It is not saved permanently and is used solely to improve the user experience when using the @Lingo_Echo command.

When the conversation is initiated using the @Lingo_Echo command, the bot knows the number of viewers in the stream. This is also not saved permanently.

You can revisit the preferences page by reauthorizing via the "Connect with Twitch" button, then disable the bot there.

The bot reads incoming chat messages, detects the language, and posts a translated version if it's different from your selected language. It does not have moderator privileges by default and will not follow your channel.

In addition to translations, the bot can also provide context-aware replies, dynamic shoutouts, and support interactive Twitch games - all designed to enhance viewer engagement without requiring excessive permissions.

If your Twitch chat is in follower-only or subscriber-only mode, the bot will be unable to send messages unless it has moderator status. ⚠️To ensure smooth operation, especially in restricted chat modes, we recommend making Lingo_Echo a moderator using:

/mod @Lingo_Echo

1. Try unbanning the bot by typing /unban lingo_echo in your Twitch chat. You or one of your mods may have banned it by mistake.
2. Check if your stream is in follower-only or subscriber-only mode. If you want Lingo Echo to work in those modes, you need to make it a moderator by typing /mod lingo_echo in your Twitch chat.
3. You may have disconnected the bot in your Twitch settings or on this site. Reauthorize it using the "Connect with Twitch" button at the top of this page. It might take a while for the bot to rejoin if it was banned

Shoutouts:

You can shout out your viewers with: !LingoSO @username. This command is limited to moderators and broadcasters. It will not work in follower-only or subscriber-only mode unless you grant Lingo Echo moderator privileges using /mod Lingo_echo. If your Twitch settings remove links (substitute them with ***), you'll also need to grant moderator privileges using /mod Lingo_echo. It generates a unique custom shoutout based on the person's Twitch bio, the types of games they play, clips on their Twitch profile, and more. Shoutout will be given in the language you are translating to. Try it out - it works really well and grabs attention!

Giveaways:

"Guess the Number" minigame for Lingo_Echo. Suitable for fast giveaways. !LingoCODE starts the game. !LingoUNCODE stops/cancels the game. The game expires in 15 minutes if the number is not guessed. This command is limited to moderators and broadcasters.

Alternatively, use !LingoGA open | close for a randomly picked viewer who typed !enter in chat.

Conversations:

You can converse with Lingo_Echo using the @Lingo_Echo command. It can carry on a conversation with multiple people at the same time. This command can be used by any viewer in your chat.
