Rust team chat showing !translate Russian to English example

Translates a team-chat message via the self-hosted LibreTranslate instance. Usage:

!translate <text>                  → detect source, translate to English
!translate <lang_code> <text>      → translate to that language
!translate :<lang_code> <text>     → force explicit code parse

Examples:

!translate привет камрад       → "Hello comrade"
!translate ru push roof        → "толкай на крышу"
!translate :en привет          → "Hello"

Rust slang expansion (the secret sauce)

Most LibreTranslate models choke on Rust-specific shorthand — they either pass tc, m2, kos, naked, db through untranslated or invent garbage. Rust Pulse runs a Rust-slang dictionary pass first that expands every match to a full English phrase before the translation roundtrip:

Slang	Expanded
`ak`	`AK rifle`
`tc`	`tool cupboard`
`m2`	`M249 light machine gun`
`kos`	`kill on sight`
`naked`	`unarmed and unarmoured`
`db`	`double-barrel shotgun`
`c4`	`C4 explosive`
`satch`	`satchel charge`

About 60 entries in total. See Rust slang expansion for the full table.

When it's unavailable

If LIBRETRANSLATE_URL is unset on the API, the bot replies “Translation not configured” rather than failing silently. See Self-hosting LibreTranslate for the deploy guide.
