Forum topics

How Polyglot works in Telegram groups with topics: the base topic is translated by default, other topics are added by link with their own language.

In a group with topics (a forum) Polyglot treats each topic separately.

The base topic

By default the bot works only in the base topic (the General topic). Other topics are not translated until you add them.

Add a topic

  1. Open the group in the mini app. A forum shows Topic Settings instead of one set of options.
  2. Paste the link to the topic (or its ID) into the field of a new topic card. The link must lead to a topic of this group; a topic already added is refused.
  3. In the card choose Translate to language, Translate only admins and Bot enabled for this topic.

You can add as many topics as you need and remove a card to stop translating that topic.

What each topic keeps

Every topic card has its own language, its own Bot enabled switch and its own Translate only admins switch. A topic for English speakers can be translated into English while the next one is translated into Spanish.

A topic that is not added and is not the base topic gets no translations, even if the bot is enabled for the base topic.

Let everyone read the chat

Add the bot, pick a language and keep talking.
