iTranslate Keyboard 4+

I don’t know if I should allow full access 🤷🏼‍♀️

Why does it say that if you allow full access it can access anything you say and it said something about your card or your street address

Greetings, We understand you concern but that text is a generic one from Apple, it has nothing to do with what our keyboard actually does. You can review our privacy policy if you have specific questions. Our basic version is free of charge. The subscription is only for PRO, an upgrade for the app. If you do not want the upgrade, you would simply need to tap X to close the window. If you need any further assistance, you can contact us directly as well: help@itranslate.com -iTranslate Team

Very frustrating and overpriced add-on

I carefully researched and expected to love this keyboard extension app, but there are just too many deal-breakers:

The iTranslate keyboard lags terribly. I’m not a fast typer, but this app forces me to type and retype so s-l-o-w-l-y to avoid dropping letters that would screw up the translation. It slows the pace of the conversation terribly.

There is no spellcheck or autocorrect, so you constantly have to scan your message looking for dropped letters or typos.

The crucial “green arrow” button that translates your text into the second language sometimes disappears. I carefully typed out a long message and then there was no green arrow button. I tried to copy the text, erase the text box, and paste it again, but no green arrow.

The interface is not terribly intuitive.

If the person you are texting sends you a message in a second language, it is not automatically translated into your language. Instead, you have to copy the text, and then the translation pops upon a bubble on the keyboard. This means you can’t page back in the conversation and instantly know what the other person typed without this extra step.

That said, the translations themselves seem fine. It’s just too much work to have a long conversation. At $50 per year, it seems like a poor value.

Greetings, would you be able to send us a video regarding the slow reaction and disappeared green button to our email address? We would recommend restarting your device and reinstalling the app and try again. Auto correction is not available in the app, so please make sure that the input is correct. Sorry for the inconvenience but you would need to manually copy the incoming messages to translate as we won't automatically read your messages for your privacy.

Please help

Today my app stopped translating! It said that it needed a secure connection. I tried everything. I uninstalled it, I reset permissions, I doublechecked to make sure I was still within my subscription.. I really need this . My fiancé speaks a different language and I’m still learning . I also submitted a ticket with a photo so you can see what it is..

For those that are wondering , this is the best on the fly translator/keyboard app I was just in Brazil and it really helped.. it’s not perfect when it comes to translating but none of the apps are Bc each language has idioms in secondary meetings that are hard to translate.

Language request: I would request Brazilian portugués because it sometimes says the wrong thing haha Portugal Portuguese and Brazil Portuguese are slightly different

Love the app!
