Message styling
You can change how translated messages look. By default a repost is posted as the author with a small direction subtext (the Compact style), but any server admin can pick a different style on the Servers page or in /serverconfig, on any plan.
Three independent style settings
Each translated surface has its own style, so they can look different:
- Auto-translate style: how channel auto-translate reposts look (default Compact).
- Linked-channels style: how linked-channel bridged messages look (default Compact).
- Reaction style: how public reaction translations look (default Embed).
The available styles
| Style | What it looks like |
|---|---|
| Compact | Reposted as the author, with the direction (flag + language codes) in the name. |
| Embed | A /translate-style card showing the source, target, and engine. |
| Minimal | Just the translation, posted as the author, with no direction tag. |
| Bilingual | The translation on top, with the original kept underneath as small text. |
| Flag inline | The translation prefixed with the target-language flag. |
| Quote | The translation as a blockquote with a small direction line. |
So you might set a channel members read closely to Bilingual (original kept for reference) while a high-traffic channel uses Minimal to stay tidy.
Personal DM reaction translations are always shown as a card regardless of the server's reaction style.

Reposts also carry a subtle "Get Low's Translator" discovery link in the subtext. Pro and Max plans can hide it (Servers → Auto-translation → Repost branding), which keeps the styles above completely clean. See Settings & server config.
