π« Babelgram Tips: Enable auto translation and forward messages to the bot
One of the several ways to use @BabelgramBot is to set the auto translation feature and forward messages to be translated to the bot.
For example from Spanish to English, write
The bot will answer you with the translated messages, and sometimes, prefixed with a hint of who the message is from.

π«π€πΎ Migration to Telethon completed successfully!
Yesterday, we finalized the software migration from python-telegram-bot to Telethon. python-telegram-bot is a Python framework for implementing Telegram bots that has been very useful for the last 5 years of @BabelgramBot. However, to improve the features of Babelgram, a more powerful library is required, and that's why we migrated the entire code base to Telethon, a library that doesn't rely on the Telegram Bot API, allowing to implement more complex features.
This migration should improve the performance of the bot, making everything way faster than it was before. And fasten the implementation of new features in the months to come.
However, there might still be a few a few bugs hanging around. If you happen to find something that doesn't look right, don't be shy! Please report it in the Community Group (link in the description)

π« New /unsubscribe command
When a user subscribes with a premium plan to @BabelgramBot, and after some time decides to cancel their subscription they used to have to join the Community group or send an email to make that cancellation effective.
We understand that some users don't want to go through that, so we have implemented the unsubscribe command. This command will cancel your existing subscription, if you have any, without needing to speak with anyone.
Nonetheless, we'd love to read your feedback. So always feel free to join the community group (link in the description) and tell us what you like or don't like from the bot!

π‘ Privacy
There are some questions about the privacy of your translations. We want to make sure you know that we don't read or store any text you send or get translated.
The information that we store from a translation is:
* Type of translation (inline or auto-translate)
* From what language (for metrics purposes),
* To what language (for metrics purposes)
* Timestamp
* Number of characters in the original text sent to the bot (to calculate pricing)
* If using the Google Cloud Translation Engine (used by Premium users)
* user_id and chat_id (internal IDs of the database)
You can see an example of how two recent translations are stored in the database in the image below.
Hopefully, this will reassure you when it comes to how we treat your information.

Would you prefer a "pay as you go" model in Babelgram where you buy some amount of translations and is used when you use the bot? Or unlimited translations with a monthly subscription plan is better?
