Telegram ID bot in 16 languages: how language selection works

@print_id_bot responds in 16 languages based on your Telegram language setting. No manual language selection is needed.

How it works

The bot reads your language_code from the update (from message.from.language_code, edited_message.from.language_code, or callback_query.from.language_code). It uses the first part of the code (e.g. pt-BR → pt) and maps it to a supported locale. Unsupported codes fall back to English.

Supported languages (16)

Code	Language
`en`	English
`ru`	Russian
`fa`	Persian
`uz`	Uzbek
`hi`	Hindi
`zh`	Chinese
`tr`	Turkish
`pt`	Portuguese
`es`	Spanish
`ar`	Arabic
`id`	Indonesian
`de`	German
`ur`	Urdu
`fr`	French
`tl`	Tagalog (Filipino; `fil` maps to `tl`)
`am`	Amharic

Special cases

Filipino — Telegram sends fil; the bot maps it to tl (Tagalog).
Portuguese (Brazil) — pt-BR uses pt (Portuguese).
Chinese — zh-CN, zh-TW use zh (Chinese).

What is localized

All bot responses: welcome text, labels (User ID, Chat ID, Group name), help text, buttons, and messages like “ID hidden” or “Tap the number to copy.” The raw JSON in /json and /dump is unchanged; only the human-readable labels use your language.

FAQ

How do I change the bot’s language?

Change your Telegram app language in Settings → Language. The bot uses that. There is no in-bot language switch.

What if my language is not supported?

The bot falls back to English. All functionality works the same.

Does the bot support right-to-left (RTL) languages?

Yes. Arabic, Persian, and Urdu are supported. Telegram handles RTL rendering.

Can I request a new language?

The bot supports 16 languages. Adding more depends on the bot maintainers. English fallback ensures everyone can use it.

Is the language stored or sent elsewhere?

No. The bot reads language_code from each update and uses it only to pick the response strings. It is not stored or shared.
