What Multitran Bot does
Multitran is not a beginner's dictionary. Its value is the opposite of a clean answer: for one term it shows dozens of translations contributed over the years, grouped on lines by the field they belong to — legal, medical, oil and gas, IT — so a translator can pick the one that fits the document instead of the one that sounds right.
The bot brings that into the chat. Send a word: a Russian word is translated into the selected language, a foreign word into Russian. The pair is Russian–English by default; the dictionary-language button switches it to German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Ukrainian, Latvian, Estonian, Esperanto, Kalmyk or Uzbek. A word that is not found gets spelling suggestions, and each reply links to the dictionary page. /transcriptions and /links switch on transcriptions where Multitran has them and links to the words in a translation; the interface itself is in English or Russian.
It is unofficial: the developer, Highstaker, publishes the code on GitHub, and the last fix is from January 2025. The bot reads the site's pages, so a change on Multitran can break it without warning — check anything critical against the site itself.

FAQ
Is this the official Multitran bot?
No. The bot says it is unofficial; it was written by the developer Highstaker, whose code is on GitHub, and it takes its data from the Multitran site.
Which languages can I pair with Russian?
English by default, plus German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Ukrainian, Latvian, Estonian, Esperanto, Kalmyk and Uzbek; one of the two words is always Russian.
Who is it for?
Translators and anyone working with terminology; for everyday words a general translator is simpler.
