BotWave speaks your language. 25+ supported languages, per group language settings, AI powered translation, and a fully multilingual mini app interface.
Telegram is a global platform with communities spanning every continent and hundreds of languages. A bot that only speaks English is useless to a Portuguese study group, a Hindi gaming clan, or a Japanese business channel. BotWave was built from the ground up to be multilingual, with support for more than 25 languages and the ability for each group to set its own language independently. When you set your group's language, the bot's responses, command outputs, and interface text all switch to that language automatically.
This is not a simple translation layer bolted on top of an English bot. The multilingual system is integrated into every module, from moderation messages to welcome text to the mini app interface. When a member in a Spanish group types a command, the response comes back in Spanish. When an admin in a Bengali group configures the captcha, the configuration menu is in Bengali. This level of language integration is rare among Telegram bots and is one of the reasons BotWave has been adopted by communities around the world.
BotWave currently supports the following languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, Indonesian, Turkish, Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Filipino, Polish, Ukrainian, Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, and Swahili. New languages are added regularly based on community demand.
The breadth of supported languages means that BotWave can serve communities across Asia, Africa, Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East without any language barriers. Whether your group is a local community speaking Yoruba or an international business channel operating in Chinese, the bot adapts to your language needs.
The /setlang command sets the language for your group. Type /setlang es for Spanish, /setlang pt for Portuguese, /setlang ar for Arabic, and so on. Once set, all bot responses in that group will be in the chosen language. Each group can have a different language, so you can manage multiple groups in different languages from a single bot.
The language setting affects everything: moderation messages, welcome and goodbye text, captcha instructions, error messages, help text, and the mini app interface. This means a member joining a French group sees French captcha instructions, French welcome messages, and a French mini app, creating a fully localized experience that feels native rather than translated.
In addition to interface localization, BotWave includes a powerful AI translation tool. The /translate command translates any text between more than 25 languages. Unlike traditional machine translation, which often produces stilted, literal translations, the AI translation engine understands context, idioms, and tone, producing translations that read naturally in the target language.
This is transformative for international communities. When a member posts in Japanese, anyone can translate it to English with a single command. When an admin posts an announcement in English, non English speakers can translate it to their native language instantly. The translation happens in the chat, visible to everyone, which means the whole group benefits from the shared understanding. This breaks down language barriers in a way that was not possible before AI translation became this capable.
The BotWave mini app, which provides the configuration interface for all bot features, is fully multilingual. When you set your group's language, the mini app automatically switches to that language. All menus, buttons, labels, and help text are translated, making it easy for non English speaking admins to configure the bot without struggling with an English interface.
This is particularly important for adoption. Many excellent Telegram bots fail to gain traction in non English markets because their configuration interfaces are English only. By making the mini app fully multilingual, BotWave removes this barrier and makes the bot accessible to admins regardless of their language proficiency.
Channels can also set their own language with /chlang, independent of any group. This is useful for channel owners who broadcast in a specific language and want the bot's channel management features to operate in that language. Channel welcome messages, post signatures, and analytics labels all respect the channel language setting.
| Command | Arguments | Description |

| /chlang | <code> | Set the channel language. |

25+ languages, per group settings, AI translation, and a fully localized mini app. BotWave works in your language, whatever it is.
