FAQ

DotaChat FAQ

Languages, shortcuts, trial credits and what the tool can do.

What is DotaChat?

DotaChat is a Windows translation tool for Chinese-speaking Dota 2 players on international servers. It translates chat text, screenshots and Chinese input to help players understand teammates and share their plans.

Which languages can Chinese input be translated into?

Choose English, Japanese, Korean, Russian or Spanish in the client settings. Screenshot translation recognizes text on screen and returns a Chinese translation.

How do I translate a Chinese message for my team?

Choose a target language in the client, type Chinese in the game chat box, then press Alt + Q. The client reads the input through the clipboard and pastes the translation back into the chat box. Check it before sending it yourself.

How does screenshot translation work?

Press Alt + E and select the chat area. The client uploads the screenshot to a translation service for text recognition and translation, then displays the result in Chinese. Check the selected area to avoid including unrelated personal information.

Is DotaChat free?

Registration includes trial credits for 200 text translations and 100 screenshot translations. Contact us through WeChat or email to confirm how to obtain more credits and their cost.

Which platform is supported? Does it work offline?

This website provides a Windows installer. Translation requires an internet connection because text and screenshots are sent to a translation service. Offline translation is not supported.

What if a translation is wrong or the client does not work?

Contact us through WeChat or email with the client version, steps to reproduce the issue, and the original text and translation. Hide account details and other personal information before sharing screenshots.

How do I read Dota 2 chat on international servers?

Press Alt + E and select the chat area you cannot read. The client recognizes the text and returns a Chinese translation. Frequent calls such as retreat, no mana or no ultimate are worth memorizing so you do not need a screenshot every time.

How is DotaChat different from a browser translator?

A browser translator requires leaving the game, copying text and pasting it back. DotaChat works inside a Windows client: Alt + E selects text on screen and Alt + Q pastes the translation back, so you stay in the match.
