Russification "Telegram" on Android

The newly created brainchild of Pavel Durov “Telegrams” became popular in a matter of months. Millions of users around the world are actively joining the application. The reason for this demand was the interesting and useful functionality of the messenger, which can be used for various purposes, including for business.

All the years of its existence, the Russian-language “population” of the application was awaiting the official version of “Telegrams” in Russian, but the developers were in no hurry to please their users with the Russified version. Initially, the messenger was not intended for the Russian audience, so the default language in the "Telegram" is set to English. Pavel Durov in 2014 recognized the lack of prospects for an application in Russia, which led to a delay in Russification for an indefinite period. Due to the fact that since the creation of the Telegram, users did not provide support for the Russian language, and all the official versions of the messenger came out in English, many had no choice but to Russify Telegram on their own using various methods.

On October 10, 2017, on Pavel Durov's birthday, users finally got the opportunity to use the long-awaited update with the ability to configure Russification Telegrams for Android and IOS without using bots or third-party resources. You can change the language to any of the officially provided in the “Telegram” using the options menu.

How to translate Telegrams into Russian in the new version

Thanks to a recent update with the built-in Russian, you can easily translate the application in the settings.

  • Before changing configurations, install "Telegram" version 4.4;
  • then, in the application menu, go to the language settings options (“Settings” - “General” - “Change language”);
  • The list with languages ​​will allow you to change configurations: check the box in Russian and confirm your choice.

How to Russify "Telegrams" on Android

For any of the available application modifications, there is the possibility of converting to the Russified version using the additional file installation. If you decide to leave the old version of “Telegram” and do not want to update it, then there are other ways to make a translation into Russian:

  • using application bots;
  • Downloading the crack yourself from a third-party resource.

How to install the Russian language through bots

Third-party resources offer to download Telegrams with the Russian interface already installed, but the security of such russified applications as well as localization files is questionable. Therefore, it is better to use the official version of Telegram, and to configure the Russian language tools of the messenger. Bots with the built-in Russification function in the “Telegram” are enough, one of the most famous ones is the robot Anton. Consider how the installation looks through the bot for Android:

  • if there is no application on the phone yet, download it from the official resource and install it;
  • launch “Telegrams”, in the search we enter telerobot;

  • start chatting with the robot using the “locale android” command,

  • The bot will send the necessary file that will be loaded after clicking on it;

  • Call the action menu (button with three vertically positioned dots), click “Apply localization file”, which means “apply localization file”;

  • Now, in the language configuration, we Russify the messenger by selecting “Russian” from the list.

The principle of installation of the Russian-language interface for a phone running on the IOS operating system is almost the same as on Android, only the bot will need to send the “locale ios” command.

Update Telegram. Version 4.4

Developers with each new upgrade delight the messenger account owners with interesting features. Now 13 more have been added to existing languages, but the long-awaited Russification of Telegram version 4.4 is not the only pleasant surprise for users.

The geolocation function (Live Location) allows users to share their current location in chat rooms. Automatic update of the location occurs every 15 minutes, an hour or 8 hours, depending on the user's choice.

The update also affected the audio player, which received covers and playlists, as well as the ability to play music in different modes.

Group administrators are now labeled as “admin” labels and control members' access to the message history of supergroups.

The set of functions “Telegrams” is constantly updated, users are provided with a huge field of activity for business and entertainment, and the developers undoubtedly pleased the Russian consumer with the new version.
