Translo
A free, wide-coverage translator bot (reportedly 180+ languages) with a bare-bones Telegram profile — solid if you need an obscure language pair, but verify results carefully since there's little public information about who runs it.
Key features
- Reportedly covers 180+ languages
- No sign-up required
- Useful for uncommon language pairs
What Translo does
@translobot (branded as "Translo | Переводчик Трансло") shows up in independent round-ups of Telegram translator bots as one of the widest in language coverage, with reviewers citing support for over 180 languages — well beyond what most single-purpose translator bots in this category offer. In practice that breadth matters most for less common language pairs that official corporate bots don't bother supporting.
That said, verifying it firsthand is harder than for the other bots in this list: its Telegram profile carries no description text and no custom avatar, which is Telegram's default placeholder when a bot's developer hasn't filled in an "About" section. That's not evidence of anything malicious — the bot is live and does respond — but it does mean there's less on-page information to judge freshness, ownership, or how actively it's maintained than for a corporate-backed bot like PROMT's or Yandex's.
Treat it as a useful fallback specifically for language pairs the mainstream bots don't cover, rather than a default choice. There's no sign-up required — you can test it for your specific language pair before relying on it, and if the translation looks off, cross-check with one of the better-documented options in this list.
