+Users can choose to translate a specific text message into a different language by tapping “Translate” in the action menu of the message (to enable this option, a user should first turn on Translation services in the Settings > Languages section of the Telegram application). Since Telegram may rely on a third-party, Google LLC, subsidiary of Alphabet Inc, for automatic translation of messages, the text of specific messages users choose to translate may be shared with Google in order to obtain their translated versions. The third-party service owner (Google) may also receive the IP of the user requesting the translation – this is true for any equivalent translation service and the IP cannot be traced back to any Telegram user account or ID.
