Introduction

Polyglot (@ChatPolyglotBot) is a Telegram bot that translates the conversation in your group. You add it as an administrator, choose the language the group should read, and from then on it posts a translation under every message written in another language.

What it does

• Translates messages. Text messages and the captions of photos, videos, GIFs and video messages get a translation as a reply, with a header such as Portuguese → English. See How translation works.
• Detects the source language. You don't set what language members write in. See Languages.
• Translates answers back. Reply to a translation and the author receives your answer in their language. See Replying to a translation.
• Works with topics. In a forum each topic has its own language and switch. See Forum topics.

Where the settings live

Everything is set in the bot's mini app: open @ChatPolyglotBot, press Manage chats and pick the group. See Settings. In the group itself members need no command.

What it costs

Nothing. Polyglot has no paid plan, see Plans.
