Translate your first Slack conversation

Install the app, connect a channel and verify that every teammate receives the language support they need.

About 5–10 minutes

Before you start

Choose Add to Slack, select the correct workspace and review the requested permissions before allowing access.

Expected result: Slack confirms that LingoChan has been installed.

Open the test channel and invite the app so it can read and respond to messages there.

Expected result: LingoChan appears as a member of the channel.

Use the LingoChan command to enable the channel and set the preferred target language for the relevant users.

Expected result: The channel is active and has a known translation target.

Post a short sentence in a different language and wait for LingoChan to respond.

Expected result: A contextual translation appears in the channel or thread.

React to a message with a supported language-code emoji such as :en: or :ja:.

Expected result: LingoChan posts the requested translation without changing channel defaults.

Use the available LingoChan summary command for a conversation or channel when teammates need to catch up.

Expected result: A concise recap is returned in Slack.

Ask a Slack workspace owner or app manager to approve the installation request.

Confirm LingoChan is a channel member, the channel is enabled and the message is not from another bot.

Review the user language preference and the language emoji used on the message.

Open the command reference and confirm the installed app has the latest scopes.
