Yandex Translate translator bot
In short
A quiet little helper rather than a showpiece. No AI tricks, just translation right where you already talk. It covers everyday needs easily and falls short on contracts or anything formal.
About the bot
Yandex has run its translator outside the browser for years, and this bot is the Telegram edition. You paste a chunk of text, and a second later the translation comes back. There is no app window here; everything happens through plain messages.
You choose the target language with /tolang. The bot accepts a language code, the English name or the Russian one, so you do not have to remember a format. The language list matches the main translator, so less common pairs are covered as well.
The group mode is the part we like most. Add the bot to a shared conversation with colleagues abroad or friends from another country, and it renders their replies into each member's language. For a mixed crowd that removes a lot of awkward silence.
On the downside, machine translation is still machine translation. Slang, jokes and long legal sentences come out as best it can manage, sometimes word for word. The interface is bare too: no history, no dictionary entries with examples, just a reply to what you sent.
