1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Telegram Integration

To translate Telegram bot messages into any language, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Begin by visiting the Pabbly Connect homepage by typing the URL in your browser. Once on the homepage, you can either sign in if you are an existing user or click on the ‘Sign up for free’ button to create a new account.

Upon signing up, you will receive 100 free tasks each month to explore the features of Pabbly Connect. After logging in, navigate to the ‘All Apps’ section and select Pabbly Connect to start creating your automation workflow.

2. Creating a Telegram Integration in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ option and name it ‘Translate Telegram Bot Messages to Any Language with OpenAI.’ Select the appropriate folder to save your workflow.

• Select ‘Telegram Bot’ as your trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event as ‘Set Webhook’ or ‘Watch Updates’.
• Click on ‘Connect’ to set up a new connection with your Telegram bot.

This integration allows Pabbly Connect to listen for new messages in your Telegram group, triggering the automation process whenever a message is received.

3. Setting Up Your Telegram Bot with Pabbly Connect

To connect your Telegram bot, you will need to create a bot using the BotFather on Telegram. Send the command ‘/newbot’ to BotFather, then follow the prompts to name your bot and create a username that ends with ‘_bot’. After creating the bot, you will receive an API token.

Copy this token and paste it into the Pabbly Connect field. Click on ‘Save’ to establish the connection. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to capture messages from your Telegram group and initiate the translation process.

• Ensure your bot has admin access in the Telegram group to receive messages.
• Test the connection by sending a message in the group to verify that Pabbly Connect captures it.

Once the message is captured, you can proceed to the translation step using OpenAI.

4. Translating Messages Using OpenAI in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves integrating OpenAI with Pabbly Connect. Select OpenAI as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Generate Content’. Connect your OpenAI account by entering your API key, which you can retrieve from your OpenAI account settings.

In the action step, you will need to configure the translation prompt. Set the prompt to ‘Translate this message in Spanish’ and map the message captured from Telegram. This mapping ensures that every time a new message is received, it will be dynamically translated.

Select the model as ‘text-davinci-003’ for effective translation. Leave the maximum tokens field blank for flexibility. Set the temperature to 0.7 for balanced randomness in translation.

After configuring these settings, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test the translation functionality. If successful, your workflow will now translate messages from English to Spanish automatically.

5. Sending Translated Messages to Another Telegram Group

The final step is to send the translated messages to a designated Telegram group. Add another action step in Pabbly Connect and select Telegram Bot again. This time, choose the action event as ‘Send Text Message’.

Connect this action to the Spanish group you created. You will need to provide the chat ID for the Spanish team group. To find the chat ID, check the group URL in Telegram. Copy the ID and paste it into the relevant field in Pabbly Connect.

Map the translated message from the OpenAI step to send it to the Spanish group. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the message is sent successfully.

Once confirmed, your integration is complete. Now, every time a message is sent in the English team group, it will be translated and sent to the Spanish team group automatically using Pabbly Connect.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to automate the translation of Telegram bot messages using Pabbly Connect and OpenAI. By following the steps outlined, you can easily set up a system that translates messages between different languages, enhancing communication across your Telegram groups.
