Telegram offers a convenient way to translate messages within the app. The feature was launched with an update in early 2022, along with Message Reactions, Spoilers, and Themed QR Codes, among others. Telegram has been working extensively on Interactive Emojis (emojis that appear with an on-screen animation). While it previously introduced seven interactive versions of emojis like fire, star eyes, and startled face, it recently added animated emojis for several food items like a hot dog and a piece of cake.
While WhatsApp is testing the ability to increase its file transfer limit up to 2GB, Telegram already allows users to share files that are up to 1.5GB in size. Telegram offers other useful features like custom notification sounds and auto-delete durations that let users customize their experience with the app. Given the open nature of Channels and Groups on the platform, Telegram is often used as a search engine as well.
Message Translations is among the newer features added by Telegram. Since the application allows up to 200,000 members in a group, it is very likely that public groups will have users who live in different parts of the world and communicate in different languages. Telegram Channels on the other hand allow unlimited users. Telegram's in-app translation feature can come in handy here. It can translate messages with the tap of a button, saving users time and effort that might be spent copying a message and then translating it with Google or a different app.
Translate Messages On Telegram
To enable in-app translation on Telegram, users will need to tap the three-bar icon at the top-left corner of the app and select Settings. In the menu, tap on Language. Tap on the toggle next to Show Translate Button to enable in-app message translations. Right below this, users can select languages they are fluent in under Do Not Translate. Select the language in which messages should be translated under Interface Language. Once the setting is enabled, users can tap on any message and select Translate from the pop-up menu that appears. Telegram will display the message translated into the selected language of choice. Users also have the option to copy the translated message or translate it into another language.
The in-app message translation feature is available on all Android devices that are supported by Telegram, i.e., devices running Android 6.0 and later. For iPhone users, the feature is available on models with iOS 15 and later. Additionally, the application also informs users that it translates messages with the help of Google with a disclaimer that reads "Google may have access to the messages you translate." Telegram also notes that the list of available languages depends on the phone's operating system.
