Telegram has released a new update that adds the option to translate chats in real-time and the ability to create profile pictures from stickers or emojis.
Users will be able to translate chats that are not in their preferred language in real-time. When you receive a message that is in a different language, Telegram will offer the option to translate it into a language of your choice.
For free users, the translate option is limited to individual chats but premium subscribers will have access to translation in group chats and channels as well.
