Message Translations

Translate incoming messages and outgoing drafts in DMs and mass DMs with configurable language defaults.

Message Translations helps you reply faster when you and your fans use different languages. Use it to translate received messages in DMs and to translate outgoing drafts before sending them in DMs or mass DMs.

Accessing Message Translations

  1. Open Fansly and click the FB button in the top-right corner.
  2. Open Tweaks.
  3. Enable Message Translation Tools (Pro users only).
  4. Click Open Message Translation dialog.
  5. Set Translate incoming messages to, Outgoing DM default language, and Outgoing mass DM default language, then click Save.

You can also open outgoing translation settings from the message composer menu:

  1. In a DM or mass DM composer, click the FBuddy menu button next to the text area.
  2. Select Outgoing translation language.
  3. In a DM, choose Translate outgoing drafts to for that conversation, then click Save.
  4. In a mass message composer, choose the outgoing language for mass message drafts, then click Save.

Message Translations Features

Translate incoming messages

  1. Open the Message Translation dialog.
  2. Set Translate incoming messages to to your preferred language.
  3. Click Save.
  4. Open a DM and use the translate action on a received message.
  5. Review the translated text shown directly under that message.

Translate outgoing drafts

  1. Open the Message Translation dialog.
  2. Set Outgoing DM default language and Outgoing mass DM default language.
  3. Click Save.
  4. In a DM conversation, optionally set a conversation-specific override from the composer menu.
  5. In the message input, use the translate action to replace your current draft with the translated version.

If you quick send a text template in a DM, the sent message also uses that conversation's active outgoing translation language.

Use the keyboard shortcut

  1. Open the Message Translation dialog.
  2. Set Keyboard shortcut to your preferred key combination, or clear it to disable.
  3. Click Save.
  4. Click inside the message input, then press the shortcut to translate your current draft.

Important Notes

  • Note: Message Translations is available on the Pro plan.
  • Translation runs only when you use the translate action or shortcut. It does not auto-translate while typing.
  • DM conversation overrides apply only to that conversation.
  • If no DM override or outgoing default is set, the incoming translation language is used as the fallback target language. The same fallback applies to mass DM drafts when no mass DM default is set.
  • Each translation action is limited to 2048 characters.
  • The keyboard shortcut uses Ctrl on Windows and Linux, and Command on macOS.

Troubleshooting

  • Translate option is unavailable: Confirm Message Translation Tools is enabled in Tweaks and your account is on Pro.
  • Shortcut does not work: Click inside the message input first, then try again. If needed, update the shortcut in the Message Translation dialog.
  • Nothing happens when translating: Make sure the message or draft contains text and is under the character limit.
  • Wrong output language: Reopen the Message Translation dialog and confirm the incoming or outgoing language setting for the workflow you are using.
