🌍 Botlord’s tools have learned three new languages (and no, Duolingo wasn’t involved)

Heyhey Hive 👋
For quite a while now, I’ve been building a small collection of free tools for Hive. Well, “small” may no longer be entirely accurate, because the collection now lets you reply to notifications and add tips, monitor the tipping-bot fleet, compare accounts, inspect post rewards, send tokens to multiple people, manage delegations, vote on governance and analyse your earnings.
Apparently, this is what happens when you keep adding “just one more useful feature”.
The tools all work from your own wallet, your keys stay where they belong, and browsing them does not require an account or login. There was only one fairly obvious problem: everything was in English.
Hive has always been a global community, with large Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking communities, alongside plenty of people who are perfectly capable of using English but would still rather use a tool in their own language. Which is understandable, because technical interfaces can already be confusing enough without first having to translate every button in your head.
So I finally did something about that.
The complete Botlord toolset is now available in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch. 🎉
🌐 Choose once, use everywhere
You’ll now find a language selector in the top-right corner of every tool. Choose EN · ES · PT · NL, and the page changes immediately, without reloading and without needing an account.
More importantly, the tools remember your choice across the entire suite. If you select Spanish on the Botlord tools hub, Reply&Tip, the Tipping-Bot Board, Earnings, Compare and the other tools will also open in Spanish. You only need to choose once, because clicking the same language selector nine times would technically work, but it would also be rather stupid.
On your first visit, the tools also check your browser language. A Spanish- or Portuguese-speaking visitor should therefore arrive in their own language immediately, without first having to search through an English interface for the button that changes the English interface.
Here’s the account comparator in Spanish 👇
![Comparar cuentas, en español]
(Thanks to @savvyplayer for unknowingly helping me here! 😉😂)
⚖️ Compare any two Hive accounts by reputation, Hive Power, account age, followers and tipping activity, including a winner for each metric, now fully localised.
🧰 Nine tools, four languages
At this point, the collection has grown into a fairly complete Hive toolbox:
Tool What it does
⚡ Reply&Tip Work through your notifications and add tips in one smooth flow
📊 Tipping-Bot Board Follow live fleet statistics, staking tiers, the MMB spotlight and raffle results
⚖️ Compare Accounts Compare two accounts side by side, with a winner for each metric
🧾 Post Rewards See exactly where a post’s payout goes, including the rewards for every curator
💸 Batch Token Sender Send a token to multiple recipients with a single signature
📈 Earnings Dashboard Analyse author and curation rewards, tokens and estimated net worth over time
🎁 HP Delegations View, add and remove your Hive Power delegations
🏛️ Governance Vote for witnesses and proposals, and clean up votes for witnesses that are no longer active
🪪 Account Card Create a shareable snapshot of any Hive account
They are all available through 👉 tools.botlord.eu.
Everything remains free, you can browse without logging in, and whenever a transaction does require authorisation, your keys remain safely inside your wallet. They never pass through my tools, because I enjoy building useful things, but I have absolutely no ambition to become the accidental keeper of everybody’s Hive keys. I already have enough servers and bots demanding attention.
🗣️ Which language should be next?
I started with the largest Hive language communities I could currently reach, but the underlying translation system is now in place, which means adding another language has become fairly straightforward on my end.
So, if you would like to use these tools in Korean, Indonesian, French, Tagalog, German, Italian, or another language, leave a comment. I’ll use the demand to decide what gets added next.
And if you notice a translation that sounds strange, clumsy or suspiciously like something produced by a machine after three coffees and no sleep, please tell me. Translating an entire suite is one thing, making every sentence sound natural to a native speaker is another, and corrections are very welcome.
These tools are a labour of love and remain 100% free. If they make Hive a little easier for you, the kindest thank-you is a witness vote for @botlord. It costs nothing, can be changed at any time, and helps me keep building and maintaining all this infrastructure.
👉 Vote for @botlord
No pressure, though. Use the tools, share them with people who might need them, and let me know what still behaves strangely. There is always something. Usually right after I thought everything was finished.
¡Gracias! · Obrigado! · Bedankt! · Thanks for reading! 🐝
Ps: small disclaimer - no I did not learn these languages in the past two weeks, I had some AI help!
Apparently I have a slight problem with leaving things alone when I think they could work better, so over time that turned into quite a collection of free Hive tools.
Account stats, tipping, earnings, governance, witness tools and several other things I probably built because I needed them myself first.
Everything is free to use, and I'm still adding things. Because apparently having hobbies wasn't enough.
A lot of those tools, bots and other experiments exist because I'm still very much invested in building on Hive, including the boring infrastructure underneath it all.
If you think that deserves a witness vote:
👉 Vote for @botlord
But these are also backed by me!
👉 Vote for @nathalie-s
👉 Vote for @aliveandmmb
👉 Vote for @bradleyarrow
And while you're there, it never hurts to check whether the rest of your witness votes are still going to active witnesses. Ghosts are notoriously bad at producing blocks.
I also run a growing family of tipping bots, including !INDEED, !HOPE, !WEIRD and a few other creatures that escaped from the server room.
