📰 Users for more than half an hour began to encounter an error when trying to open the message translation. The photo shows the corresponding error pop-up window.

Tip: instead of a message, select the entire text message for this, if your flagship has a built-in translator (on iOS exactly).

📰 The message translation function has not been working for 5 hours. In addition, the press service reported that ✍️ some technical changes are being made to this function.

📰 Telegram has officially become a member of the Astana Hub innovation cluster, as reported on their website.

🇰🇿🧠 This cluster was founded in 2018 as a technology park for the development of IT startups and attracting talented specialists from all over the world. Membership with it allows interaction with the state, the IT community, and will be able to get the opportunity to create collaborations, exchange experiences and develop digital products around the world in addition to the local market. In June 2024, Durov was invited by the Minister of Digital Development Zhaslan Madiyev. After the visit, the Telegram team opened its office in Astana.

🅰 On-Device Translation
Strings in the latest beta reveal Telegram is working on local #translation support. Language models will be downloaded to the device, enabling faster and more private translations without needing the cloud.

🎞 Video Ads Incoming

Telegram may soon introduce #video #ads within the video player, as new beta strings reference this feature. This could be part of their monetization expansion.

📰 Looks like fact checking is about to start working. The kod.ru publication (@d_code) discovered a fact-checking function in the upcoming new stable version.

The photo shows the first example of its work. A red block will appear under the text of the post, where Telegram itself explained that Durov did not make such a statement. We are talking about the post where «the Panorama publication reported on Durov's announcement of the messenger's departure from the Russian market», which is indeed not true - Panorama is a satirical media - this was added by the We TON channel later.
