Overview

Unlock Seamless Multilingual Communication in Telegram with this AI Agent

This AI Agent transforms your Telegram account into a powerful universal translator. When you send a voice message to your connected Telegram bot, this n8n workflow springs into action. It first uses OpenAI's Whisper model to accurately transcribe the audio into text. Then, leveraging a sophisticated Large Language Model (LLM), it detects the language and translates the text between your configured native and target languages. Finally, it replies to you in Telegram with both the translated text and a natural-sounding audio version generated by OpenAI's Text-to-Speech (TTS) capabilities.

This agent empowers you to effortlessly communicate across language barriers, whether for business, travel, or language learning.

Key Features & Benefits

  • AI-Powered Transcription: Utilizes OpenAI Whisper for high-accuracy speech-to-text conversion from audio messages.
  • Intelligent Two-Way Translation: Employs an OpenAI LLM to detect the spoken language and translate it to your specified target language, or vice-versa, supporting dynamic bilingual conversations.
  • Broad Language Support: Handles over 55 languages for transcription and translation, breaking down communication barriers.
  • Dual Reply Format: Responds with both the translated text for quick reading and synthesized audio for listening convenience.
  • Customizable Language Pair: Easily configure your primary and secondary languages in the 'Settings' node.
  • Streamlined Communication: Ideal for solopreneurs and teams interacting with international clients or partners directly within Telegram.
  • Enhanced Productivity: Automates the entire process of understanding and responding to voice messages in different languages.

Use Cases

  • Enable e-commerce businesses to offer multilingual customer support via Telegram audio messages, instantly translating customer queries and your replies.
  • Allow SaaS companies to engage with international clients on Telegram by translating voice memos about feature requests or support issues, fostering clearer understanding.
  • Facilitate real-time voice communication for solopreneurs working with international teams or clients, translating voice notes on the fly within Telegram.
  • Assist users in learning new languages by providing instant spoken translations of their practice phrases.
  • Help travelers communicate effectively in foreign countries by translating spoken questions and responses via Telegram.

Prerequisites

  • An n8n instance (Cloud or self-hosted).
  • Telegram API Token for your bot.
  • OpenAI API Key with access to Whisper (for transcription), a chat model (e.g., gpt-3.5-turbo or gpt-4 for translation logic), and TTS models (for speech synthesis).

Setup Instructions

  1. Download the n8n workflow JSON file.
  2. Import the workflow into your n8n instance.
  3. Configure the 'Telegram Trigger' node: enter your Telegram API Token in the credentials section.
  4. Configure the 'Telegram1', 'Text reply', and 'Audio reply' nodes: select the same Telegram API credential you configured for the trigger.
  5. Configure the OpenAI nodes: 'OpenAI Chat Model', 'OpenAI2' (for transcription), and 'OpenAI' (for speech synthesis). Enter your OpenAI API Key in their respective credentials sections.
  6. In the 'Settings' node, customize the language_native and language_translate fields with your desired languages (e.g., 'english', 'french'). Refer to OpenAI's documentation for the full list of supported languages for speech-to-text (transcription).
  7. Ensure the binary data property is correctly set for audio nodes if needed (e.g., 'Audio reply' is already set to true).
  8. Activate the workflow. Send a voice message to your Telegram bot to test the translation.
