- Open Telegram and drag the bubble over any message, post, or comment.

Common questions
How do I translate Telegram messages?
Install Swift Translate, turn it on, and drag the floating bubble over any Telegram message — the translation appears in place. It works in private chats, groups, and channels.
Does Telegram have a built-in translator?
Yes. Telegram has its own Translate button, but it’s off until you switch it on in Settings > Language. It translates one message at a time; translating whole chats needs Telegram Premium. Its AI Editor can also translate what you write, with limits: only longer messages, and only a few times a day without Premium. Swift Translate translates any message, channel post, or comment in 100+ languages, and translates every reply before you send it, even a short one. See how to translate Telegram messages, step by step.
Can I translate Telegram channels?
Yes. Channels and their comment sections translate the same way as chats — drag the bubble over the text.
Does it work offline?
Yes — download language packs once and drag-to-translate keeps working without internet.
