Use reaction translate

React to any Slack message with a country flag emoji — e.g. 🇺🇸 for English, 🇯🇵 for Japanese. Rimo will post a translation in that language as a reply.

Optional
By default, translations appear as thread replies. Link your personal Slack account to enable inline mode — where Rimo edits the original message directly instead.
