Until recently, the biggest problem for the audience of the Telegram messenger from the CIS countries was the lack of official support for the native language. The developers of the program simply did not consider the territory of Russia and the CIS countries to be a priority market. Yes, one could be outraged as much as one wanted, but Pavel Durov and his like-minded people had their own clear position on this issue. And so, at the beginning of October 2017, official support for Russian, Ukrainian and some other languages was announced, and a new platform for translating the program into many others was also presented. Unfortunately, at the moment, the new localization is implemented only in mobile versions of the program, although the application for computers can be localized manually.
In this regard, the question arises - how to Russify "Telegram" on a phone or tablet? How to put Russian on Telegram on a computer? We will provide answers to them in today's material.
As mentioned above, the mobile version of Telegram for Android and iOS, starting from version 4.4, has received official support for the Russian menu. Now, to enjoy a clear language, just switch it in the settings. But now, you heard the news, open the program, and the interface is still in English. Because of what it can be? Let's look at a few reasons.
- You have not updated the mobile version of Telegram through the app store. Russian is available on the newest version.
- You updated the mobile version, but did not switch the language in the settings. Unfortunately, the interface in Telegram does not automatically switch to Russian, so even after the update you will have an English menu.
- Your phone is running Windows Phone. To date, the program for this operating system cannot be Russified.
- You are using Telegram on your computer. At the moment, regardless of the operating system, Telegram for a computer does not have official support for new languages.
How to enable the Russian menu on the mobile version
- First of all, you need to check if the latest version of Telegram is installed on your device. This can be done through the app store. Depending on the operating system, this will be the Android Play Store or the Apple AppStore.
- If an update is available, download and install it. Depending on the speed of the Internet, the process will take from a minute to five.
- Run the updated program and set the language in the settings.
- Android: in the upper left corner, click on the button in the form of three horizontal stripes - Settings - Language - Russian;
- iOS: in the lower right corner, click the Settings - Chat Settings - Language - Russian button.
- The program interface will immediately switch to the selected language.

You can set the Russian language for telegrams using a universal bot. This is how we Russified the messenger in a matter of seconds.
1. First, download the bot itself. 
2. We get to his page, we read:
3.Choose the platform we need, download the file.
4. Go to the settings (Settings on the top panel), the settings window opens and now, regardless of it, we type the word on the keyboard loadlang
5. After that, the following window will immediately appear:
6. Select the downloaded file (there are already several of them on the screenshot. Russify and desktop :)) and press Enter. That's all wisdom!
Telegram in Russian: the second way of Russification

4. You need to apply the file:
5. Apply:
6. Russian appeared in the list of languages.
And now - your telegram in Russian!
If you try to Russify the desktop version, Telegram for a computer, in this way, you will not succeed. Here we have to go the other way. Either choose the first way of Russification, or use the help of Anton's robot, but with dances and tambourines. So…
Telegram: Russian language for computer
1. Bot RusLangBot does an excellent job, see instructions above.⇑
2. Anton's bot will require a couple of additional steps:
We type in the search @telerobot:
We send the command “locale windows”:
We go into the settings, simultaneously hold down the shift and alt keys and click on change language
The folder with our localization file opens. Double click on the file.
We restart the program.

Now the world is full of all sorts of services that allow you to translate individual words, phrases, sentences, or even entire texts. Each of them has its pros and cons. Although Google Translate and Yandex Translate services are now actively promoted, many Russians still prefer to use another service for translation. It is called "Translate.Ru", and the domestic company PROMT is responsible for its development.
A few hours ago, on the part of its 20th anniversary, the PROMT company added its proprietary text translator to Telegram, making it part of the communication service. Now any messenger user can translate from one language to another in a fraction of a second without the need to use third-party software. The function works on smartphones, tablets, computers and any other devices that have a native client of this messenger.
The bot-translator "Translate.Ru" is responsible for translating the text, which is always ready to complete the task assigned to it. Moreover, in addition to automatic translation, it is able to carry it out in different contexts - scientific, technical, educational, business and others. This significantly improves the quality of the translation, depending on the purpose for which the user needs it.
As of March 2, 2018, the translator bot built into Telegram can work with 15 languages, including Russian, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and others. In the near future, the developers plan not only to expand the functionality of the Translate.Ru bot, but also to increase the number of languages into which it can translate texts. This will make it popular not only in Russia and the CIS countries, but also in other regions of the world, including the USA, Europe and China.
Earlier, Yandex launched its own bot in Telegram, which is ready at any time, which plays nearby. It works due to the neural network, the developers assure, and everyone can try it even now.
Until December 22, inclusive, everyone has the opportunity to Xiaomi Mi Band 4, spending only 1 minute of their personal time on it.

Telegram is a convenient and popular messenger for computers and phones, with only one drawback: it does not have the Russian language. But this seems to be a problem only at first glance. In this article we will tell you how to translate "Telegram" into Russian on a computer.
Please note that the methods described below are primarily suitable for PC. Methods for smartphones are not very different, but still have their own specifics.
Windows
The developers of the program did not include the Russian language in the list of available localizations in the settings, but they write about how to translate Telegram into Russian on a computer on the official website.
Follow these instructions:
- run the program;
- go to the contact search bar (top field);
- type (or copy from here) telerobot;
- Telegram will find the bot - click on it;
- if you entered the name correctly, the chat will open;
- give a command to the bot - send him a message in the chat with the text locate tdesktop;
- in response, in just a couple of seconds, a file will come, save it to your computer in any folder that is convenient for you to find;
- go to Settings in the main menu;
- hold down the key combination Shift + Alt and click on Change Language ("Change language");
- a window with a file selection will open - go to the folder where you saved the file sent by the bot and select it;
- when a window appears asking if you want to install a new language, click Ok.
Russification completed. You may need to restart the program.
Important! When updating Telegram and installing new versions, repeat all the steps according to the instructions, because due to amendments in the code of the program, the localization settings of another version may not work correctly.
By the way! You can use another bot, RusLangBot and another locale windows command. There is no difference between them.
Mac
How to translate "Telegram" into Russian on a computer if you have an "apple" operating system? The instruction is similar to the one described above, however, with the only amendment: use the locate osx command for the bot.
linux
The problem of how to translate "Telegram" into Russian on a computer with Linux is that in the version of the program for this OS, the bot from the contact search is usually not found (although the attempt is not torture). If the bot is found, follow the instructions from Windows and send it the locale tdesktop RU command.
If the bot was not found, go to the official Telegram website and go to the page with localization files. Select Russian, download directly or click "Get from bot". By the way, in the same way you can download the file for both Windows and Mac.
The second problem with Linux with Telegram is that in some distribution versions, the Shift + Alt key combination, which calls the "Change language" menu function, does not work. To solve this, go to settings and type loadlang on your keyboard.
Interesting! The loadlang life hack works on both Windows and Mac, although there is no reason to use it.
Online version
Unfortunately, the online version of the messenger cannot be Russified. When trying to open a localization file, the program gives an error.
Alternative ways
All the above methods of how to translate Telegram into Russian on a computer are official and proven. However, there are also ways of Russification from third-party developers in the form of programs with a name similar to the original messenger. Their use is not recommended, as software from unknown sources often contains malicious code and can easily turn out to be a virus.
