Latenode

Translate Telegram messages to any language with ChatGPT

This template listens for new Telegram bot messages, asks ChatGPT to translate the text into the target language you set, and sends the translation back in the same chat. Use it for bilingual support or groups. Put the bot token on the Telegram connection. ChatGPT is Latenode AI, so you do not paste an OpenAI key.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
