A 78-language translator in your chat

A message arrives in a language you don't know, and copying it to a separate translator app and back is a hassle. This bot translates text right inside Telegram into any of 78 languages, and it works in group chats as well as private ones. 🌍

It is built by an independent developer and uses the kind of machine translation many people know from their browser.

How to use it

1. Start. Tap Open and launch the bot.
2. Text. Send the phrase you want translated.
3. Language. Choose one of the 78 target languages.
4. Result. Get the translation and copy it into your chat.

It shines when you translate often and in small doses: a couple of phrases a day with a seller abroad or a comment from a foreign follower, all without leaving the messenger.

Translation in groups

The big convenience is that you can add the bot to a group chat. That helps in international communities where members write in different languages, and in work groups with colleagues abroad. 👥

• International chats. Understand members from other countries.
• Travel. A shared chat with a host or guide abroad.
• Work. Messages with foreign partners and clients.
• Study. Language-learning groups where checking translations is useful.

Getting more accurate translations

Machine translation handles simple phrases well but can stumble on complex ones. A few tricks help. ✍️

• Short sentences. Break long text into simple phrases.
• Skip slang. Jargon and jokes often get translated literally and lose meaning.
• Back-translate. Translate the result back into your language to check the meaning.
• Context. Clarify words with several meanings, such as door key rather than just key.

Watch names, company titles and addresses too, since machine translation sometimes translates them literally. Check those by hand.

When machine translation isn't enough

For everyday chat, machine translation works great. Some cases make mistakes costly, though. ⚠️

• Documents. Contracts, certificates and official papers belong with a professional translator.
• Medicine. Don't rely on machine translation for drug instructions or diagnoses.
• Important business mail. Reread the translation and check key figures and deadlines.

A helper for language learners

Learners can quickly check how to say a phrase and compare their version with the machine one. Don't rely on it entirely, though. Try to phrase the thought yourself first, then compare. 📚

Learners get more from translating whole short phrases from real chats rather than single words.

Privacy

Text is sent to an external translation service for processing. Don't translate passwords, card details or confidential documents through third party bots. In a group chat, remember that everyone sees the request and the result.
