sitelen musi li suli
LargeEmoji
In the context of a settings entry, I think it would be clearer if it was phrased as a command ("sitelen o suli"). Plus, Emoji have (semi-)consistently been translated as "sitelen Emoji", while "sitelen musi" is more frequently used for stickers. I'd advocate for changing this to "o suli e sitelen Emoji" (and there's an existing suggestion to that effect)

does reacting act on a message in this sense? it's intelligible at least

ConnectingToProxy
Note: tawa mi la, "pali e linja tawa [proxy]" li pona. kin la, "alasa e linja tawa [network]" li pona.

Creating a connection that doesn't already exist occurs with proxies. Looking for a connection that should already exist occurs with the open network.

using the unicode character is weird, i admit, but i think that's the only way it'll work in such a tiny box

o lukin e poki pi ilo toki sina
ExternalFolderInfo
This omits the idea that it's explicitly the external storage, but I've yet to think of a concise way to describe it. Calling it "'poki sin" as in the other translation implies it's actually new, but it isn't new. Saying it's "external" doesn't really work, because the spatially descriptive words in Toki Pona don't quite work that way. Describing an SD card knowing that you're talking about an SD card would be easy, but just reading text would make it hard!

OptimizingTelegramDescription1
I chose not to include "depending on the size of the database". While it is possbile, and reasonable, to translate this? Out of context, it is missing a lot of information to make it intelligible, and it isn't as important as expressing "this can take a long time" and "please keep the app open until finished"

It would be helpful if I knew what an "archived channel" was... I can't even find this in the app?

RecentStickers
I compromise on expressing either that these are stickers (they're visible) or that they're used (you would probably see that), saying they're "from" a short time ago (recently).

You even used "toki pi ilo ni" here.
Gregory Danielson, Oct 12, 2021 at 22:30
toki pi ilo kon ni
Language
Why not "toki pi ilo ni"? The tool is implied to be Telegram. I'm not sure what sense you mean "kon" in, here.
Gregory Danielson, Oct 12, 2021 at 17:43
toki pi ilo kon ni
Language
specifically "language of this app", since "toki" by itself could mean "chat" or "speech".

PaymentCardName
This actually says "Your name (same as on the card)". A lot of people in the toki pona community create new names for themselves (often only first names), and we'd rather them use the same name that they have on their credit card, right?

LanguageCustomAlert
since there's a distinction between custom and regular language pack, I added a sentence that the people who made the translation don't work for Telegram.

Toki pona doesn't have words for "left" and "right", so I'm just using an arrow.
