@euskaltelegram: Telegram in Spanish

  • People often compare Telegram to WhatsApp, but Telegram has broken the boundaries between messaging apps and social networks, among other things allowing you to talk to whoever you want without even knowing your phone number.

This and the other peculiarities it has are being used perfectly by the Basques creating groups, channels, stickers and everything, look:

The Open Groups

It is possible to create groups that allow the participation of anyone, such as @hackinsabino, a space for discussion of software, hardware and free knowledge and culture of veterans, a meeting point for Basque video players @gamerauntsia that comes very strongly, and of course our super group @librezale.

The channels

The channels are not for discussion, but for distribution to anyone who wants to receive information, and a lot of Basque channels are starting to appear, the @argiaeus channel of the magazine Luz to receive news in Basque, the @talaios mobile blog of the cooperative Talaios about technology and sovereignty, the @aekeus channel of the pioneer AEK who remains stubborn in Euskaldés and alphabet adults, the @sopelanet channel, the @buiakainlab channel of the student movement to distribute the @talaios mobile blog about technology and sovereignty, the @telegram channel without borders, of the mentioned syndicate!

The boots of

Telegram boots are not to be worn on the feet, they are programs that allow interaction with users through chat and even in the beta version we also have Basques, such as the obedient robot @wikidosiabot created by Asier Iturralde that will deliver random and highlighted articles of Wikipedia, or the @bot created by techno-lovers of the ELA union to receive concerns, readings, reflections and opinions. Game Erauntsia also has a bot on its team.

Of the stickers

But people mainly use Telegram for baking and laughing, and stickers are very helpful in this, we have in our country for example the extravagant set of stickers eusticker, or the set of stickers Gipuzkoa Stand with consciousness.

Who translated Telegram?

Some of the friends associated with Transifex translated the Android client a long time ago, the friends of Nola, Nocturne Koop, Bitarlan... but since it was not included among the official languages very few people knew that Telegram could be used in Basque, the installation was complicated and the project cooled down since 2014.

Over the last few months we have revived the translation of the Android version from Librezal and we have taken the iOS version to full, and after some time distributing and testing the files in our group, we have created the aforementioned channel @euskaltelegram to facilitate the distribution of the language files.

Is Telegram free?

The servers are private but the API is open and the clients are free. There are official clients for Android, iOS, Windows Phone, MacOS, Windows and Linux, as well as an official client via the web.
