Translator bot for Telegram groups: reply /tr to any message

Add the bot to a group, reply /tr to a message you can’t read, and the translation appears right under it. No admin rights, no settings.

Example chat: a message sent to the bot and its translation

/tr

World Translate Bot

English

Does anyone know what time the museum opens tomorrow?

How it works in a group

A mixed-language group doesn’t need everyone to agree on one language. Each person reads in their own.

  1. Add @world_translate_bot to the group like any member.
  2. Reply /tr to the message you want to read. The translation appears as a reply, in your Telegram language.
  3. Need a specific language? Add its code: /tr es for Spanish, /tr de for German.

Photos and screenshots in groups

Reply /tr to a photo, a screenshot or a document in the chat and the bot translates the text in it, just like in a private chat. Handy for schedules, tickets and price lists that get posted as pictures.

Who is charged

Each translation is counted to the person who asked for it, from their free translations or their own purchases. Adding the bot costs the group nothing, and nobody pays for translations they didn’t request.

It doesn’t read your chat

The bot only receives messages that start with /tr and the message they reply to. Everything else in the group stays invisible to it, which is why it needs no admin rights.

Write in your language, send in theirs

In any chat, even one the bot isn’t in, type @world_translate_bot followed by your message. A list of languages appears; pick one and your message is sent already translated. It is the quickest way to answer a foreign-language chat without switching apps.

How it works

  1. Open the bot in Telegram and tap Start.
  2. Send a text, a photo, a screenshot or a file, or forward a message.
  3. Tap the language you need. The translation arrives in the same chat a few seconds later.

What you can send

Photos and screenshots

Menus, street signs, receipts, chat screenshots, a page of a textbook, or a whole album at once. The bot reads the text in the picture and translates it, keeping the line breaks.

Text messages

Type or paste any text, or forward a message from another chat or channel. The bot works out the source language by itself.

¿Dónde está la estación?Where is the station?

PDF, Word and text files

Send a PDF, DOCX or TXT file, scanned pages included. The translation comes back in the chat or as a file you can open anywhere.

Summary and downloads

Under every translation there is a button for a short summary of it, and buttons to save it as TXT, DOCX or PDF.

Group chats and any chat

In a group, reply /tr to a message to read it in your language. In any other chat, type @world_translate_bot and your text to send it already translated.

Bis später!See you later!

Free to start

Every month you get free translations. If you need more, you can buy them right in the bot with Telegram Stars. A translation that fails never counts.

Questions

Does the bot need to be an admin?

No. It works as an ordinary member and only sees messages that start with /tr.

Does it translate every message automatically?

No, only when someone asks with /tr. That keeps a busy group readable and nobody pays for translations they don’t need.

Which language does /tr translate into?

Into your Telegram language by default. Add a language code to choose another one, for example /tr fr.

Can I use it in a channel?

In a channel’s comments, yes: they are a group. To translate a channel post itself, forward it to the bot in a private chat.

How do I send a message already translated?

Type @world_translate_bot, a space and your text in any chat, then tap the language. Telegram sends the translation as your message.

Try it on the next thing you can’t read

Open the bot, send a picture or a message, pick a language. It takes about ten seconds.
