To use this bot, simply add mtbot@hotmail.com to your contacts and invite him/her to your conversations.

- Tobot ? – Show this list of commands
Kinda fun and the translations are pretty accurate so far. I would say enough to get by.

After translating the list, I set the working language to English and here is the list:
