Frequently asked questions
Is Polyglot really free?
Yes. There is no paid plan today: translation, replies, forum topics and the mini app work in every group at no cost.
What admin rights does the bot need?
Post messages, edit messages and delete messages. The mini app's Add chat button pre-selects them. Deleting is needed to clean up: when you reply to a translation, the bot removes your reply and the translation it replaces.
Why doesn't the bot translate?
Check that Bot enabled is on for the group, or for the topic in a forum, and that a language is chosen. Nothing is posted when the message is already in the target language, when it starts with a slash, when it mentions a bot, or when another bot wrote it.
Does it translate every message?
Every text message and every caption of a photo, video, GIF or video message in an enabled chat, except commands, messages written by other bots and automatic forwards of channel posts. Stickers, voice messages and plain files without text are not translated.
How do I answer someone in their own language?
Reply to the bot's translation, or to the original message. Write in your language: the bot posts your answer translated into the author's language as a reply to their message and removes your own message.
What does Translate only admins do?
It does not limit who gets translated: every member's messages are translated. It limits whose replies to a translation are sent back to the author in their language. With it on, only admins get that; a reply from anyone else is translated into the group's language like a normal message.
Does it work in groups with topics?
Yes. By default only the base topic is translated. Paste a topic's link in the mini app to add it, and set its language and switch separately.
Which languages are supported?
The mini app offers 61 languages to translate to. The language of the original is detected by the bot. Translation uses an AI model first and Google Translate as a backup.
Why did my message disappear?
When you reply to a translation, the bot posts your answer to the author translated, and then deletes your original message and its own earlier translation. If the original message is deleted within about ten minutes after being translated, the bot deletes its translation too.
