Top Telegram Bots for Work & Studies

Telegram (App Store, Google Play, or AppGallery) is a free messaging app that makes a fantastic alternative to WhatsApp and WeChat. The service boasts a number of stand-out features, including some hidden gems like various types of interactive bots.

Languages

The bot knows 100+ languages and can automatically translate both separate words and complex sentences from and into any of them in seconds. All you need to do is type @BabelgramBot, the language you are translating from, e.g., English, the language you are translating into, e.g., Russian, and the text you want to translate. For example, you can type “@BabelgramBot en ru Hello!” and see the translation pop up on your screen. You can both DM the bot or tag it in various chats.
