Premium-free trio: forward, inline & group translation

You no longer need Telegram Premium — just add @LingoDeskbot: forward any message for an instant translation, type @LingoDeskbot in any chat to send translations as yourself, and /glang for two-way group interpreting. 300 free translations a month, /subscribe anytime for unlimited.

Triple-engine reliability

Translation now runs on a three-tier engine chain — Claude as primary with two automatic fallbacks. If the primary has an outage, a circuit breaker switches over in seconds and switches back when it recovers. Your conversations never stop.
