Thank you!

Keyboard is fantastic!

Learnt about the integrated keyboard just recently and it works flawlessly. Such a simple case but the execution to fulfill it is great!

Previously, the way to go was type in English -> Google translate -> copy translated Indic text. But now everything happens with good accuracy right where you want it. Kudos :)
