Settings

Polyglot settings in the mini app: the language to translate to, Bot enabled, Translate only admins, bot message language, statistics and team access.

Open @ChatPolyglotBot, press Manage chats and select the group. Settings are saved as you change them.

Translation settings

  • Translate to language. The language the group reads. See Languages.
  • Translate only admins. Only the replies of administrators to a translation are sent back to the author in their language. Every member's messages are translated either way. See Replying to a translation.
  • Bot enabled. The master switch. When it is off the bot does nothing with the messages.

Group management

  • Bot message language. The language of the bot's own messages in this group.
  • Statistics. The number of translated messages.
  • Team Management. Gives other people access to the group's settings without making them Telegram admins.
  • Unlink chat. The bot stops replying in the group and its settings are turned off. The bot does not leave the group; to bring it back, add it again.

Groups with topics

If the group is a forum, the same settings are set per topic, see Forum topics.

Defaults

For a new chat the mini app shows English as the language, Bot enabled off and Translate only admins on, until you save your choices.

Let everyone read the chat

Add the bot, pick a language and keep talking.
