—NOTE: The location “Mostarska Petlja – Belgrade Fair” refers to a key area in central Belgrade where the Mostarska Petlja interchange connects directly to the Belgrade Fair (Beogradski Sajam)—one of the city’s main exhibition and event venues.

Strategically positioned in the Savski Venac municipality, this corridor links several major urban and transit routes, including access to the Gazela Bridge, highways E‑75 and E‑70, and the southern districts of the city. It is both a logistical hub and a symbolic gateway into the heart of Belgrade’s business and cultural zones.

#NEWS | Telegram’s #TranslateGate Enters Day 4: Translation Feature Down with No Clear Resolution

For the fourth consecutive day, Telegram users worldwide are grappling with the sudden outage of the app’s in-app translation feature, sparking widespread frustration under the hashtag #TranslateGate.

The issue, first widely reported on June 26, 2025, has affected both free and premium users across platforms, including Android, iOS, and desktop versions. Telegram confirmed the outage on X, stating the feature is “temporarily unavailable” due to “technical fixes” and should be “available again soon.” However, with no further clarification on the cause—potentially linked to backend issues or Telegram’s reliance on external APIs like Google Translate—user frustration is mounting.
