Yandex Translate

@YTranslateBot is Yandex's own Telegram front-end for its translation engine. Send any text and the bot detects the source language and replies with a translation into the language you chose with /setlang. Typing @YTranslateBot text in another chat translates inline, so you can answer a foreign-language group without leaving it.

For Russian-to-English and back it is among the most accurate free options in Telegram; for rare language pairs quality follows the web service. It handles text only: no voice messages and no photos with text.

How to start

  1. Open @YTranslateBot and send /setlang to pick the target language
  2. Send any text
  3. Or type @YTranslateBot text in another chat
