As one of the most popular instant messaging apps worldwide, Telegram has long been renowned for its security, speed, and cross-platform compatibility. However, it lacks an official Chinese interface, which makes it somewhat cumbersome for many new users to navigate after installation, as they struggle to find the features they need promptly. In fact, switching Telegram to Chinese is extremely simple – you just need to import a Chinese language pack. This article provides the latest localization tutorial, enabling you to switch to the Chinese interface in just a few minutes whether you're using an iPhone, Android device, or desktop version.

Unable to Set Chinese? Common Reasons and Solutions

1. Not Using the Official Telegram Version

Unofficial clients may not support importing language packs.

Solution: Reinstall the official version.

2. Telegram Domains Blocked by Your Network

Language pack links may be intercepted by the network.

Solution: Switch Wi-Fi, 4G/5G, or use a virtual private network (VPN).

3. Using Telegram X

Telegram X is no longer actively maintained, resulting in poor language pack compatibility.

Solution: Switch back to the main Telegram app.

4. False Block by Network Security Tools

Chinese-made mobile phones may block the redirection.

Solution: Copy the link in the browser → paste it into Telegram to open.

5. iOS Restrictions on External Redirection

System privacy settings may affect the redirection.

Solution: Authorize Telegram to open external links.

Useful Telegram Tips

1. Should New Users Create Telegram Groups or Channels?

It is recommended to start with channel management, as it is the easiest to operate overall. You have full control over the content published on the channel – messages won't be spammed or disorganized, and the overall rhythm is easier to manage, making it ideal for new Telegram operators. Once the channel has accumulated a certain level of attention, creating a group for interaction will be easier to drive engagement and facilitate subsequent conversion.

2. How to Create a Telegram Channel?

It's simple: open the menu bar, select "New Channel", enter the channel name and description, and choose public or private to complete the creation.

It is recommended to set a clear channel name and explain the channel's purpose in the description.

3. How to Run Multiple Telegram Accounts

If you want to manage your business more efficiently, you can try operating multiple Telegram accounts simultaneously. The Telegram client supports adding up to three accounts, which need to be switched when changing accounts. If you need more than three accounts, it is recommended to use the Telegram web version: https://web.telegram.org/ with MostLogin anti-detect browser.

MostLogin allows users to configure an unlimited number of browser windows for free within the client, and each window can have independent environment settings (such as IP, language, time zone, etc.). In effect, you have accounts on multiple different devices, enabling easy multi-account switching and management, ensuring stable account operation and reducing the risk of account bans and verifications.

Summary

The above is the latest method to set up Telegram in Chinese and useful usage tips. If you are new to Telegram, these steps are sufficient to help you complete the localization smoothly and solve most issues that new users may encounter. Whether you are doing cross-border business, community operation, or daily use in the future, it is recommended to maintain good account security habits. Using multi-environment tools when necessary can make your Telegram usage more stable and efficient.
