Telegram is one of the most popular messengers in the world, so developers regularly add new features to it. And some of them are quite unusual. For example, the ability to create your own language. We tell you how to do this.
Why Create Your Own Language in Telegram on Android.
If the languages that are available in Telegram do not suit you for some reason, you can create your own. Add, for example, a rare dialect. Telegram can be used as a convenient platform for creating your own language packs.
This is useful for linguists or people who want to communicate in a language they are familiar with or a fantasy language. For example, real languages like Maori and Gaelic, fictional Klingon (from the Star Trek series) or Elvish. You can even add the Cuban dialect (or any other).
