2. Add it to your group as admin

Press Manage chats, then Add chat in the mini app and pick the group in Telegram's own list. The admin rights the bot needs are already selected, so confirming adds and promotes the bot in one step. The rights are Post messages, Edit messages and Delete messages; the last one is used to keep the chat tidy when you reply to a translation.

3. Choose the language and switch it on

Open the group in the mini app:

1. Under Translate to language pick the language the group should read. If you leave it, the mini app shows English.
2. Turn on Bot enabled. Until it is on, the bot does nothing with the messages.

The other options are described in Settings.

4. Check that it works

Write a message in another language from a second account. After a few seconds the bot posts a translation as a reply to it. If nothing appears, see the FAQ.
