What Yandex Translate does
@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.
Its translation quality is best between Russian and English; for rare language pairs quality follows the web service. It handles text only: no voice messages and no photos with text.
How to start
- Open @YTranslateBot and send /setlang to pick the target language
