Google translate and a few other language translation apps are excellent, and to some extent, accurate at translating languages. The only downside with language platforms like Google Translate is the fact that it is not easy to use – you’d have to copy and paste text in the Google Translate app to get your translation.
Telegram has introduced a built-in translation tool in a bid to help its users avoid this issue. What this means is, all Telegram users can now easily translate any message from friends, business partners, etc, that speak different languages, into their default language without leaving the app.
But before you can start using the translation feature on Telegram for Android and IOS, you need to enable the feature. We will be showing you how to do just that in this article.
