LanTranBot v0.3

Thanks for your interest in the LanTranBot.

I know... this site looks like crap... But it should load fast :)... It's just meant to provide you some information on the program I wrote.

This bot will help you with translating messages to and from others in the Telegram Chat App.

It uses the DeepL API to do so, in future versions, I'm planning to add more API possibilities.

LanTranBot v0.3,

There are 2 modes this bot can work in.

Personal chat with bot: Once both users have initiated a chat with the bot, you will be able to set up a session with each other through the bot. Once the session is established, you can then just send any text to the bot, which will translate it and forward it to the other person in the session in their native language.

You can only have 1 outgoing session, but can have as many incoming as you want.

For more information, check : Personal Chats

Group chat : When the bot is added to a group, you will have to set the group language, and provide a deepl api key for that group. Once that’s done, you can choose if you want original messages to be replaced by the bot, or just added. (bot will need the right to remove messages in the group obviously for this to work) In the latest feature you can also link multiple rooms, each with their own language set, and have the bot sync the messages across (translated to the group's set language)

For more information, check : Group Chats

About me :

Asansi - 46 year old guy, who hasn't programmed in over 25 years. Used to program in Basic, C, C++, Pascal, Delphi and a little ASM. Wanted to use my creative juices once more, so started learning PHP (didn't program in it before) and as I prefer to learn while doing, looked for a little project to put my time in, and came up with this translation thingie. I know telegram already has built in translation possibilities, but still, felt like a nice project :).
