KrubKa

Guide

An English ↔ Thai translator bot for your LINE group

Condo committees, work groups, your partner's family chat: when half the group writes Thai and half writes English, KrubKa translates every message in place, both ways, so everyone can follow along and reply in their own language.

Add KrubKa to a group

  1. Add KrubKa as a friend on LINE: @858tccji.
  2. Open the group, tap Menu (☰) → Invite, select KrubKa and tap Next.
  3. KrubKa says hello with a “Connect this chat” button. Tap it, and connect your LINE account in the KrubKa app, so the group runs on your allowance.
  4. That's it. Everyone keeps chatting normally.

How the translation works

  • English messages get a Thai translation and Thai messages get an English one — automatically, no commands needed.
  • Each translation quotes the message it translates, so it's clear who said what.
  • Filler like “ok”, “thanks”, “555” or emoji-only messages isn't translated and doesn't use up any translations.
  • Photos and voice messages in groups aren't translated.

Commands

Type in the chatWhat it does
/pauseStop translating in this group
/resumeStart translating again
/connectShow the “Connect this chat” button again — for example after the free trial runs out
/krub or /kaSet your own polite Thai ending (ครับ or ค่ะ)

Who pays in a group

A group where nobody has connected KrubKa yet gets a one-time trial of 10 translations. After that the group runs on a connected member's free allowance — 50 translations a month, shared with their own chats — or, if a member has KrubKa Unlimited, the whole group is covered under fair use. Nobody else in the group needs an account.

Questions

What about a chat with just one person?

Invite KrubKa into that chat the same way. LINE turns it into a shared conversation for the three of you — no group needed.

Does everyone in the group need the app?

No. One member connecting KrubKa is enough; everyone else just uses LINE.

It stopped translating — why?

Either someone typed /pause (type /resume), or the group's free translations ran out. Type /connect, tap the button and connect your account in the KrubKa app — or upgrade to Unlimited to cover the group.

Does it work in big groups?

Yes, the same way. Busy groups are best covered by a member with Unlimited.

Can it translate other languages in the group?

No. KrubKa does English ↔ Thai only, by design.
