Can anyone provide a bit of education about translation in Telegram? I am interested in a couple of groups but they run in a foreign language so I'm looking for a way to translate the posts in much the same way as Google translate works in Chrome.

I've come across translate bots, but how do I go about finding them & using them? If I add one to the group, does it affect all the other members or is it just me that sees the bot & any changes?

Basically, I use this translator sometimes, for example, when I translate articles, but mostly, probably, to save time on typing. He can translate some simple phrases from a foreign language. Suitable for students at the beginning of language acquisition. The translator has one useful button - this is the text's dubbing under the window with the text.

How many messages a day are you likely to translate?

I've two channels on Telegram which are in 2 other languages. I had a quick play with some of the translate bots, but never got instant/inline translations to work, so binned the two bots I had tried.

My channels are only for official updates, daily bulletins, announcements of Covid related changes etc so I can manage handy enough. It's as quick to do a copy and paste into a translation app for anything I'm not sure of as it is to copy and paste to one of those translate bots. That's why I removed them.

But if it's a live chat group then I can see the need for instant translation would be a must.
If you do find a solution paste it up here, as I'm also interested.
