There is no translation button in the desktop version of Telegram

Unlike some mobile apps, Telegram Desktop does not have a native built-in translation function. That is, when you use the Windows or macOS version, the "Translate" prompt will not pop up automatically like on mobile phones.

This is because the desktop version of Telegram mainly provides basic messaging functions, and many advanced language processing features (such as translation and automatic recognition) are not built in. But it does not mean that the translation function cannot be used on the desktop version. There are actually many ways. The key is to find a way that suits your workflow.

Method 1: Copy the content and translate it manually (suitable for light users)

This is the simplest and most direct way, and it is also the method that most users will use first:

Steps:

1. In the Telegram conversation, select the foreign language message → right click to copy

2. Open your browser and access online tools such as Google Translate and DeepL

3. Paste content for translation

The advantage is that there is no need to install additional tools. The disadvantage is that the operation is frequent and the efficiency is low. It is especially not applicable in scenarios with large amounts of customer information or real-time communication.

Method 2: Install a browser plug-in for automatic translation (suitable for users of the web version of Telegram)

If you are using Telegram Web, you can use a browser plug-in to achieve automatic translation within the page.

Recommended plugins include:

l Google Translate plugin (Chrome / Edge browser support)

l Mate Translate

l DeepL Translator plugin

Directions:

1. After installing the plugin, visit web.telegram.org

2. Enable the plugin's automatic translation function or select the message and click "Translate"

3. The browser plug-in will translate the chat content into the set language in real time

This method is very friendly to web users, but not applicable to Telegram desktop applications (executable programs).

Method 3: Use system-assisted translation tools (suitable for Windows and Mac users)

Some systems come with or support third-party translation assistance tools, which can quickly translate the copied content.

Windows users can:

l Install Microsoft Edge browser and enable translation

l Use Clipboard Translator or other clipboard translation tools

Mac users can:

l Use the "Translate" shortcut key function (supported in macOS Monterey and above)

l Enable third-party software such as iTranslate or DeepL for Mac

This method is suitable for users who need translation but do not want to jump to web pages frequently, and it is relatively efficient.

Method 4: Use fbsee multi-language translation system (recommended for professional users)

For high-frequency communication roles such as customer service teams, cross-border sellers, and operations personnel, the above method is still cumbersome. If you have multiple Telegram accounts that need to be managed, translated, and replied to at the same time, fbsee's multi-language translation system is a more efficient solution.

fbsee supports the following features:

l Centralized management of multiple accounts on Telegram, WhatsApp, Messenger and other platforms

l Automatically identify the message language in real time and translate it into the specified language

l The built-in translation engine supports 300+ languages, including Chinese-English translation, Arabic, Russian and other mainstream languages

l Supports group translation and one-click multi-language answering, suitable for global operation teams

Example usage scenarios:

You manage multiple customer groups on Telegram. When you receive messages in English, French, or Arabic, the system will automatically translate the content into Chinese while retaining the original text to make it easier to judge the tone and context.

How to connect fbsee's multi-language function to Telegram?

If you already use the Telegram desktop client, you can bind your account to the fbsee system and access it through the web console:

1. Log in to Telegram via authorization to fbsee

2. Configure multi-language recognition + translation module

3. Set the default translation target language and customer service process

4. All received messages will be automatically translated and presented without manual clicks

This method is particularly suitable for users who need to efficiently respond to overseas customers, conduct content review, and manage multilingual communities.

Summary: Choose the translation method based on usage needs
