Yandex Translate vs PROMT.Translate
For most readers, Yandex Translate (@YTranslateBot) is the better pick: it covers dozens of languages, detects the source language automatically and works inline, so typing @YTranslateBot followed by your text in any chat translates it without leaving the conversation. PROMT.Translate (@translaterubot) supports 16 languages and has no inline mode, but it can translate a whole channel post forwarded with Telegram's Share button, and for single words it lists translations by part of speech, with a transcription for English. Choose PROMT.Translate if you mostly read foreign-language channels or want dictionary-style answers for individual words in one of its 16 languages.
