Invision Community already lets a member pick their language. What it cannot do is give you one to pick. A finished language pack is 22,363 strings, which is a translator's contract rather than a download so most communities run in English, and everyone who does not read English comfortably reads a little less, posts a little less, and eventually stops.
This translates both halves of that problem: the software itself, and what your members write in it.
The interface
Add a language in the AdminCP, press start, and the application works through all 22,363 strings with a language model. There is no pack to buy, no translator to commission and nothing to import. When it finishes, your members pick that language from the footer and the entire site is in it menus, buttons, error messages, notification text, everything.
You can stop and restart it at any point, and a half-finished language is a working site. Invision falls back to English for anything not yet translated, so there is never a broken state — just a site that is progressively more translated as the job runs.
It runs in the background through your existing task system. Nothing is translated twice, and adding a second or third language costs the same again not a multiple of a translator's fee.
Right-to-left languages
Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and Urdu are marked right-to-left and Invision mirrors its own layout for them. This sets that flag as part of creating the language, so an RTL community reads correctly rather than as left-to-right text in a left-to-right shell.
The posts
A translated interface does not help with a thread written in a language a member cannot read. Every post gets a translate control: one click and it is replaced, in place, in their own language, with a link back to the original.
Translations are stored the first time somebody asks, so the hundredth reader of that thread costs nothing. Editing a post invalidates its translation automatically, so nobody reads a translation of text that has changed.
It never damages what it translates
This is the part worth reading carefully, and it applies to both halves.
Interface strings are not prose. They carry substitution points like {1} and %s, HTML, and Invision's own plural syntax. A language model asked to translate them will occasionally return something that reads beautifully and is broken — a dropped placeholder throws an error on the page, and a flattened plural prints raw markup to your members.
So every translated string is checked before it is stored, and anything that fails the check stays in English. A missing translation is a missing translation; a broken placeholder is a support ticket. Plural forms are handled properly too — if the target language needs three or four forms where English has two, that is accepted rather than rejected.
Posts get the same treatment from the other direction: the model is never shown your markup at all. The post is taken apart, only the readable text is sent, and the translation is put back in the same places — so mentions keep linking to people, quotes keep their attribution and their link back, and code samples are never "corrected".
What it costs to run
You supply an API key for OpenAI or Anthropic, and you are billed by them for what you use. Translating a full interface is a few dollars of usage, once, per language. Posts are billed per post the first time each one is requested, with a length ceiling you control so a single enormous post cannot become a single enormous charge.
If you already run AI Assistant, this borrows its key and model so you keep one key and one bill.
What you need
Invision Community 5.0+, self-hosted
An API key for OpenAI or Anthropic — or AI Assistant already installed
A second language added in the AdminCP. This creates it; it does not need to contain anything.
Being straight about the limits. Machine translation is very good now and it is still not a human translator. For reading a forum comfortably in your own language it is more than enough. For anything legal, contractual or safety-critical, commission a person. And a translated interface is only as good as the model you point it at a small fast model is fine for most languages and noticeably weaker for a few.

Writing Assistant
Plenty of people have something worth saying and stall before they say it. The support question that arrives as "it's broken, help". The reply that reads angrier than it was meant to. The topic somebody starts three times and abandons.
Writing Assistant puts a button in the post editor, next to bold and italic. It fixes what is already written, and it drafts from a sentence when there is nothing written at all.
Seven ways to improve what is there
Fix spelling & grammar
Corrections only. It will not quietly rewrite somebody's voice while it is in there.
Improve writing
Clarity and flow, keeping their vocabulary and register. If they write plainly, it stays plain.
Make it shorter
Cuts padding and repetition without dropping a point, a question or a caveat.
Add detail
Develops what is already there. It cannot introduce facts that were not.
Friendlier tone
Removes the sarcasm and keeps the disagreement. It will not water down what somebody is actually saying.
More professional
Raises the register without turning it into a press release.
Summarise
A long post down to its key points.
And two for the blank page
The member writes a sentence about what they want to say, and gets a draft to edit. Ask a better question is the same idea pointed at your support forum: it turns a vague complaint into something your community can actually answer.
It marks what it does not know instead of inventing it. Every assistant of this kind fills gaps with plausible specifics — a version number, a price, an error message nobody ever supplied. On a forum that means members posting confident details that are false, and your staff correcting them. This one writes [your IPS version], [paste the error here], [what you have already tried], and tells the member the draft has gaps to fill. A draft with three placeholders is useful. A draft with three fabrications is a trap.
It cannot damage a post
Quoted text, code blocks and mentions are removed before the request and put back afterwards. The model never sees them, so it cannot alter them. If one does go missing, the member is warned before they can replace anything.
Nothing is applied without the member pressing Replace. They see the result first, can compare it against the original, and can retry.
Every change goes through the editor's normal undo.
You decide what it costs
Monthly cap
A hard stop in dollars. When the month's estimated spend reaches it, the assistant pauses until the month rolls over. This is the setting that means one member cannot hand you a bill.
Daily limits
Per member and across the whole site, measured over a rolling 24 hours rather than a calendar day — so somebody who runs out at 11pm is not handed a fresh allowance an hour later.
Length limits
Nothing is spent rewriting four words, and nobody pastes a novel in.
Per group
Set globally, and again per action. Let everybody fix their grammar; keep drafting for members who have earned it.
Spend is an estimate, not a bill. It is calculated from published token prices for models it recognises. A self-hosted model shows as zero, which is accurate — but so does an unrecognised commercial one, and for that the cap cannot protect you. Set a budget limit with your provider as well.
The instructions are yours to change
A support forum and a fiction workshop want opposite things from "improve writing". Every instruction is editable in the AdminCP, including the shipped ones, and your edits survive upgrades. You can add your own actions too, with their own icon and group restrictions.
Shared safety rules — never invent facts, return only the text, preserve quotes and code — are applied automatically and cannot be removed by editing an action.
Reporting that tells you something
Calls and spend, broken down by action and by member. The number worth watching is how often members keep the result rather than cancelling. Call counts only prove the button is being pressed; a low kept-percentage on one action means its instruction needs retuning, and you can go and retune it.
Your key, your data
Works with Anthropic, or anything speaking the OpenAI chat-completions shape — including self-hosted gateways such as Ollama, vLLM, LiteLLM and OpenRouter. Set the base URL and nothing leaves your network.
Members' drafts are not stored. The log records which action ran, when, by whom, and the token counts — not the text. There is a setting to keep it temporarily while you tune a prompt; it is off by default.
Already running AI Assistant or Guardian? It will reuse that key rather than making you paste a second copy.
Requirements
Invision Community 5.0 or newer (self-hosted)
An API key from your chosen provider, or a self-hosted endpoint
Outbound HTTPS from your server
No account with me, no service of mine in the middle, no per-request fee. You pay your provider directly for what your members use.

Auto Tagging — tags every topic by what it is about
Tagging only works if people do it, and people do not do it. Your tag list gets built with care, gets used properly for a fortnight, and then quietly stops being used at all. Everything posted after that is untagged, so tag pages go stale, filtering misses things, and the vocabulary you designed is doing nothing.
This reads each new topic and applies the tags that actually fit it.
It matches meaning, not words
A topic titled "my card keeps getting declined and I was charged twice" gets tagged billing — a word that appears nowhere in it. Invision's own tag box offers autocomplete over text the author has already typed, which cannot do this. Matching here is done on meaning, so a topic reaches the right tag even when it shares no vocabulary with it at all.
It uses your tags. Only your tags.
Nothing is invented and nothing new appears in your tag list. The app reads the tags you have already defined and chooses between them, so the vocabulary stays exactly as you designed it. Disable a tag and it stops being applied.
It also learns what each tag means in your community, not in general. A tag is understood partly from the topics that already carry it, so build on a woodworking forum and build on a gaming forum end up meaning quite different things — as they should.
It will not touch work someone did by hand
This is the part worth reading carefully. Adding a tag in Invision Community is not actually an operation the platform offers — saving tags replaces every tag on the item. A tagging tool that gets that wrong will silently delete tags your moderators set, and nobody will connect the loss to the app that caused it.
Auto Tagging always writes the complete set: existing tags, the new ones, and the item's prefix. By default it leaves anything already tagged completely alone.
Honest about confidence
Every match carries a score, and there is a threshold below which nothing is applied. The defaults are set to tag less rather than tag wrongly — a wrong tag is worse than a missing one, because someone has to find it and undo it.
There is a Preview screen that scores real topics from your own community and shows you the numbers, so you can pick a threshold from evidence rather than from a guess. It tags nothing while you do it.
Fits around the site rather than into it
Posting never waits. Tagging happens in the background after the topic is saved. Nobody sits watching a spinner while an API is called.
Backfill on demand. Tag the topics you already have, batched so a large community does not arrive as one enormous bill.
Scope it. Restrict it to certain forums, and list any tags it must never apply — solved and staff pick mean something procedural that only a person should decide.
Respects your limits. It will not push an item past your site-wide maximum tags per item.
One key, one bill. If you run Related Topics or AI Assistant, it can borrow their embeddings key instead of asking for another.
No core files are edited. Upgrading Invision Community will not break it.
What it costs to run
Auto Tagging needs an embeddings API key — Voyage AI or OpenAI. This is not a subscription to me; you hold the account and pay the provider directly.
Embeddings are among the cheapest things either provider sells. Your tag list is processed once and then only when it changes, and each new topic is a single small request. For an ordinary community this runs to a trivial amount per month, and there is no charge at all while nothing is being posted.
Requirements
Invision Community 5.0 or newer (self-hosted)
Forums
Tags enabled, with at least a few tags defined
An embeddings API key from Voyage AI or OpenAI — or Related Topics / AI Assistant already installed, in which case it can share theirs

Guardian — moderation that keeps your team away from the worst of it
Invision Community gives you the tools to remove bad content once somebody finds it. Guardian finds it first, ranks it by how bad it is, and puts it in one queue your moderators can actually work through.
And for the category of material nobody should have to look at, it does something different: it never shows it to them at all.
What it checks
Post text — spam, scams and phishing, harassment, hate, threats, and breaches of your rules. Paste your rules in and they are used when judging a post, so "against the rules" means yours rather than a generic idea of them.
Attached images — adult content, graphic violence, hate symbols, and images posted purely to advertise.
Known illegal material — attachments are matched against a vetted hash service you have arranged access to.
Everything is scored from 0 to 100. You choose the score at which something enters the queue, and the score at which it is hidden before a human sees it.
One queue, worst first
Flagged content arrives in a single triage screen ordered by severity, with the reason each check gave, the labels it applied, and the post excerpt. Two buttons: Looks fine puts it straight back, Keep hidden leaves it down. Cleared and removed items keep their own tabs so you have a record.
Guardian never deletes anything. Content is hidden using Invision Community's own moderation tools, so a wrong call is always reversible — and genuinely illegal material is preserved rather than destroyed, which matters if you later have to account for it.
The part that is handled differently
When an attachment matches a known-illegal hash set, Guardian does not treat it as a moderation decision, because it isn't one.
The post is hidden immediately and the file is preserved.
The queue entry shows no image, no post text, and no link to the content. There is no "view" button. Nobody on your team has to look at it in order to deal with it.
The identifying details — account, email, IP at the time of posting, timestamps, file hashes — are captured at the moment of detection, because by the time a report is filed the account may be gone and the IP record rotated away.
Clearing it is not offered. A moderator clicking "looks fine to me" is not the right way to overturn a hash match.
Reporting, wherever you are
Reporting duties are national, and the mechanisms differ. Guardian supports both shapes.
Destination
Region
How
NCMEC CyberTipline
United States
Filed directly from your server
Internet Watch Foundation
United Kingdom
Hotline form + reference recorded
Cybertip.ca
Canada
Hotline form + reference recorded
eSafety Commissioner
Australia
Hotline form + reference recorded
INHOPE network
International
Routes you to your national hotline
Your own endpoint
Any
Evidence package posted as JSON
Where an API exists, the file goes straight from your server to the destination — never downloaded, never emailed, never handed to a staff member to upload by hand. Guardian submits under your credentials; it never reports under its own identity.
Where one doesn't, Guardian links you to the right hotline for your jurisdiction and records the reference number you are given. The evidence is preserved and the audit trail comes out identical either way.
Costs you can actually control
A monthly spend limit. When it is reached the paid checks pause — but hash matching keeps running, because that is the one you least want switched off.
Separate models for text and images. Image checks are the expensive half; point them at a cheaper model without giving up text checking.
Skip established members. Set a post count above which members aren't scanned. New and guest accounts are always checked. This is the single biggest saving on a busy site.
Per-forum scope and trusted groups. Staff are always skipped.
The settings screen shows exactly what is running, how much you have spent this month, and how many images have been examined.
If you already run AI Assistant
Guardian works entirely on its own. But if AI Assistant is installed, one switch lets it use that application's provider, key and spend ledger — so you manage one key and one budget instead of two, and spend from both counts against the same limit. It is a convenience, never a dependency.
Built to stay out of the way
Nothing blocks posting. All checking happens on the background queue. An API outage means posts are unchecked, never that members can't post.
Silence is never read as safe. If a check cannot reach its service or the model refuses to assess something, that is recorded as needing a human — not quietly scored as clean.
No core files are edited. Upgrading Invision Community will not break it.
A full audit trail. Every decision, who made it, and when.
Requirements
Invision Community 5.0 or newer (self-hosted), with the Forums application
An API key from Anthropic or any OpenAI-compatible provider, for the text and image checks
For known-material matching and direct reporting: access to those services in your own name. Providers register with the relevant organisation themselves.

AI Assistant — support that answers while you sleep
Your members ask the same questions at 2am that you answer every morning. AI Assistant replies for you. Mention its account in any topic and it answers in seconds — grounded in your own community's content, in your own words, on your own terms.
It runs on your API key with your provider. No subscription to us, no per-seat pricing, no member data passing through a third party.
What it does
Answers @mentions. A member mentions the bot account in a topic and gets a real reply, posted as a real member — notifications, search indexing and counters all behave exactly as they should.
Learns from your community. Optional knowledge retrieval pulls the most relevant passages from elsewhere on your forum and gives them to the model before it answers, so replies cite what your community already knows instead of guessing.
Captures bugs and suggestions. Every answered post is classified. Bug reports and feature requests land in a triage queue in your AdminCP — and, above a confidence threshold you set, are filed straight to GitHub as issues with the forum permalink attached.
Shows you exactly what it costs. Every call is logged with token counts and real dollar cost, with a monthly budget cap that stops the assistant when it's reached.
You stay in control
Persona and house rules. A free-text field that shapes every answer — who the assistant is, what your community is about, what it must never say, and when to escalate to a human.
Choose your forums. Pick exactly which forums it answers in. Leave it unselected for all of them.
Choose your model. Anthropic (Claude) or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — OpenAI, OpenRouter, Groq, Azure, or a model you host yourself.
Never guesses out loud. The assistant is instructed to say plainly when it doesn't know, and to ask for the detail it needs rather than inventing a setting or a version number.
Knowledge retrieval, three ways
Off — answers from the current topic alone.
Keyword — searches your community with MySQL full-text. Needs no extra API key and works the moment you switch it on.
Semantic — true meaning-based retrieval using Voyage AI or any OpenAI-compatible embeddings endpoint. Finds the right answer even when the member's words don't match your wording.
Semantic mode degrades gracefully: if the embeddings key is missing or the service is unreachable, it quietly falls back to keyword search rather than answering with nothing. New and edited posts are indexed automatically, and a background job builds the index for your existing content in batches.
Requirements
Invision Community 5.0 or newer (self-hosted), with the Forums application
An API key from Anthropic, OpenAI, or any OpenAI-compatible provider
Optional: a Voyage AI or OpenAI embeddings key for semantic retrieval
Optional: a GitHub token if you want bug reports filed automatically
Built to be safe
Slow model calls run in the background, so a member's post is never held up waiting for an answer, and a failed call never blocks a reply. The assistant will not answer its own posts, will not answer the same post twice, and stops entirely once your monthly budget is reached. It is upgrade-safe — it listens to Invision Community's own content events and never edits a single core file.

AI-Assisted Moderator for Invision Community 5
Most moderation problems don’t come from bad intent.
They happen because members don’t read rules.
Someone posts, crosses a line without realising it, a moderator steps in, a warning is issued, and what could have been avoided turns into frustration or conflict. Often leading into members leaving your community.
AI-Assisted Moderator fixes that moment.
Instead of reacting after a rule is broken, AIAM gives members a friendly heads-up when they want to post. If a post may go against a rule, the member sees a short notice explaining which rule it relates to and why. They can edit their post or continue anyway.
No blocking. No punishment. No forced changes.
Just awareness before problems happen.
Why this works
Warnings create friction.
Guidance creates understanding.
When members are told before posting, most fix the issue themselves. That means fewer warnings, fewer reports, and a calmer moderation flow overall.
Moderators stay in control.
Members feel respected.
The community benefits.
What AIAM does
Proactively warns members before posting when content may violate a rule
Uses AI-powered analysis (OpenAI supported now, others planned)
Works in any language your community uses
Shows confidence levels (low / medium / high) to avoid unnecessary warnings
Displays friendly warnings inline
Links directly to the relevant rule
Lets members edit their post or dismiss the notice and continue
Optionally use keyword pre-filtering to reduce AI usage and cost
Supports custom rules with titles, descriptions, keywords, scope, and custom messages
Tracks usage, effectiveness, and rule triggers
Flags members who repeatedly ignore warnings, which you can then PM personally
Gives admins full visibility and control at all times
Limits to certain forums or user groups.
AIAM never enforces rules automatically. It assists - nothing more.

Choose how posts are analysed. You can change this at any time.
Keyword Only (Free)
Uses rule keywords to detect possible issues. No AI involved and no cost.
AI Only (Best accuracy, highest cost)
Every post is checked using AI for maximum accuracy and better understanding of context.
Hybrid (Recommended)
Keywords filter posts first, then AI is used only when needed.
This keeps accuracy high while dramatically reducing AI usage.
In most communities, Hybrid mode cuts AI usage by up to 90%.
Confidence Threshold
Controls how strict AI-Assisted Moderator should be when deciding to show a warning.
This allows you to tune how cautious or relaxed the system should be.
Low - Very strict, catches subtle and borderline cases
Medium - Balanced and recommended for most communities
High - Lenient, only obvious rule issues are flagged
You can adjust this at any time to match your community’s culture.
Admin control
AIAM includes dedicated admin areas for full oversight:
Statistics: usage, costs, effectiveness, charts, and top triggered rules
Rules: create and manage community rules, keywords, scope, and messages
Logs: history with AI responses, confidence, cost, and user actions
Flagged Members: review members who repeatedly dismiss warnings, ability to send PM's.
Settings: all configuration options in one place
Cost & requirements
Costs apply only when AI is used.
Keyword-only checks are completely free.
With ChatGPT (GPT-4o-mini):
FULL AI mode: Around $0.03 per 1,000 offensive triggered posts
Small and medium communities usually spend a few cents per month
Hybrid mode makes this even cheaper by skipping AI when it’s not needed
You can set daily limits, cost limits, and alerts at any time.
Requirements:
An OpenAI (ChatGPT) API key
