Private beta · Free · Open source

Chat with the world in your native language

Customers write to your personal Telegram in any language. It lands translated into yours; you reply in yours — it reaches them in theirs, sent as you. Fully automatic.

No server, no code. Or self-host the open source — same setup.
How it works

Receive → Translate → Reply → Deliver

One dedicated topic per contact in your private console group. Nothing changes on their side — they just see you, fluent.

01

They message you

Spanish, Russian, Arabic — any language, straight to your personal account. LingoDesk listens silently.

02

Arrives in your language

Original and translation side by side in a bilingual card, inside that contact's own topic.

03

You reply in yours

Type naturally. AI translates; you see a preview and nothing is sent until you approve it.

04

Delivered as you

They see your own account replying fluently in their native tongue. No bot in sight.

Why LingoDesk

Built for trust across borders

Your real account, your own bot

Built on the official Telegram Business channel with a bot you create and can revoke any time. Token sovereignty, by design.

Language auto-detected & locked

Detected from the first message, targeted on every reply. One command to correct it — or to switch your own language.

Preview before every send

Each translation is shown to you first and goes out only on your confirmation. Accidental sends are structurally impossible.

Bilingual archive of everything

Messages, photos and files archived in both directions — original next to translation, retrievable any time.
