If you want competent machine-translation of what you write, this is a really cool way to do it. The only problem is the keyboard itself. It seems to fail to register any keystroke when you tap slightly in between rows or keys, making for a very rough typing experience. You'll tap away at a word like "pedestrian" and it might only pick up "pedan" if you haven't tapped in the perfectly correct position. The iOS keyboard has been training us into ignoring such placement errors for so long that it's hard to be more careful now with a new keyboard. Other 3rd party keyboards seem to suffer from this problem much less, so I'm hopeful it'll be fixed eventually. Until then, it's still a great way to generate other-language text on the fly.

There is a learning curve with this keyboard. I'm reading several reviews that it doesn't work, but I think it's that the reviewers may not know how to use it. It is not straight forward like other keyboards. You must first select your languages by swiping the bar on top of the keys. Then you type your message and it displays it in a preview area. After you have typed what you want, you click on the translate button on the bottom right corner of the keyboard and then it will post it to the text message. It's not perfect, but it's very promising.

Legit that's what I can say. The translation leaves a lot of confusion from English to Spanish and the key layout is unforgiving. One pixel away and it types another letter. Also- I HATE that it doesn't support the microphone. Finally it's a bit of a pain to switch between keyboards.The concept is nice and it is certainly better than switching back and fourth. I hate it when you pay for something and are not happy with it and I did that for this keyboard. Ah well. It is responsive which is good but I'm still going to look for an alternative.

This app is a huge, huge time saver! Here's what the process looked like before I used Translator Keyboard:BEFORE-Exit app I'm currently using-Open Google Translate-Type text that I need translated-Copy translated text, and exit Google Translate-Open app I was working on before-Paste translated textAFTER (Using Translator Keyboard)-Type text in Translator Keyboard that I want to translate (works in any app, do you don't have to exit)-Watch text get translated into language of my choice-Done!When I first downloaded the app the keyboard keys weren't very accurate and not very responsive. But with the latest update things seem to be much better. Works like a charm. This app is a must have for anybody who needs to translate text from one language to another.

I am surprised by the number of good reviews for this application. I have never seen a keyboard harder to tap on. The keys are absolutely tiny, make mistake after mistake, and the overall interface seems like something out of another decade. I do have something good to say, however, which is my contentment with the translations themselves. You guys are on the right track but the app needs a major overhaul: ugly colors, terrible keyboard, and overly sensitive keys due to small size.

I don't need this app. But I read a post from the developer describing how his app was copied (almost identically) and how his sales are now dropping off, so I wanted to show some support by buying his app. Shame on Apple for allowing identical copies into the App Store. Best of luck Steven, despite an app ecosystem that doesn't have your back.
