Frequently asked questions

How do I translate messages on Telegram?

Install Chuyi, open Telegram Web (web.telegram.org, A or K web client), and read translations next to the original. Write in your language; you choose when to send. Chuyi is not made by Telegram.

How do I auto translate in Telegram?

With Chuyi installed, open Telegram Web in desktop Chrome and use the extension settings for that site. Message text is read only to translate it, and Send is never pressed for you.

Can I use Telegram on Chrome?

Yes. Telegram Web runs at web.telegram.org, and that is where Chuyi translates. Chuyi does not run inside the Telegram mobile or desktop apps.

Can Chuyi translate Telegram voice messages?

No. Chuyi Voice is currently described only for WhatsApp Web, as a separate download.

Is Chuyi made by Telegram?

No. Chuyi is an independent product and is not affiliated with Telegram.

How is Chuyi different from Telegram's built-in translation?

Telegram can translate individual messages, and whole-chat translation is a Telegram Premium feature (check your Telegram version). Chuyi is a separate Chrome extension for Telegram Web (web.telegram.org, A and K) on desktop Chrome. It shows translations next to the original and helps you write replies in the other person's language; the translation goes into the message box and you press send. Chuyi is not affiliated with Telegram and does not run in Telegram's mobile or desktop apps.

Same extension, more chat apps

Chuyi is one browser extension, not one install per app.
