Alien Keyboard translates as you type — in whatever app you are already in. Write your message, press Translate, and the text is replaced with its translation. That is the whole idea. TRANSLATION THAT NEVER LEAVES YOUR IPHONE Translation runs on the device itself. What you type is never sent over the internet — not to us, not to anyone. Each language pair downloads once, and after that it works with no connection at all. 20 LANGUAGES English, Hindi, Bahasa Indonesia, Arabic, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese. A COMPLETE KEYBOARD • Word suggestions that learn the names and words you actually use • Emoji panel, with the ones you reach for most kept to hand • Clipboard history — the last ten things you copied, encrypted on your iPhone • Light and dark themes, or follow the system • Adjustable key size • Twenty key sound packs, all of them gentle, and haptics • Latin and Arabic-script layouts, with right-to-left laid out properly SPEAK INSTEAD OF TYPING Open the app, speak, and the translation comes back ready to copy. There is also a conversation screen: two people, one iPhone, each speaking their own language, with every reply read aloud. PRIVACY We have no server. Nothing you type reaches us, because there is nowhere for it to go. Your clipboard history is encrypted on your iPhone and never leaves it. Requires iOS 26 or later. ## Is Alienwave Keyboard safe?

A finger already on its way to the next key was being dropped whenever the shift changed; it isn't any more. • After you send a message, the next one starts with a capital — and any half-word left over from the last one is cleared from the suggestion strip. • Switching language puts the capital back at the start of a sentence. • Urdu's best suggestion now sits on the right, where Urdu starts reading. • A slimmer number row, and a little more room between the rows of keys. Translation still runs entirely on your iPhone. Nothing you type is sent anywhere. ### 1.5 — 2026-09-24 Everything below has landed since 1.1. A KEYBOARD THAT KEEPS UP • Autocorrect — and one press of backspace puts back exactly what you typed • Nearly 47,000 English words behind every suggestion, up from under two thousand • Capitals at the start of sentences, and a full stop from a double-tap on space • Text shortcuts: write "omw" and get "on my way" • A pop-up letter above the key your thumb is covering THE URDU KEYBOARD, PROPERLY The second half of the alphabet now has a home. Press shift for ٹ, ڈ, ڑ, ں, ژ, ذ, ث, ظ and the diacritics — the letters ordinary Urdu needs and the old layout had nowhere to put. Urdu punctuation has its own symbols page: ، ۔ ؟ ٪ « ». And 30,000 Urdu words now stand behind the suggestion strip. BAHASA INDONESIA Its own 30,000-word list, so Indonesian is no longer quietly corrected into English. Add it to the language key in settings. MORE ROOM, FEWER DETOURS • A number row on every page — no more trip to the symbols for a digit • A second symbols page: £ € ¥ © ® ™ { } [ ] and the rest • A full stop on the bottom row where it belongs • Caps lock — tap shift twice AND THE SMALL THINGS • Slide along the space bar to move the cursor • Pin a clipboard entry so it is never pushed out by the next ten things you copy • A volume slider for the key sounds • Hold an Urdu key for its variants Translation still runs entirely on your iPhone. Nothing you type is sent anywhere. ### 1.4 — 2026-09-21 Pop-up letter on key press Capitalise the start of sentences Double-tap space for full stop Text shortcuts Key sound volume Bahasa on the language key Auto-translate after silence (Speak screen me) ### 1.2 — 2026-09-18 Autocorrect, and a one-key way out of it. A word is fixed as you finish it, and one press of backspace puts back exactly what you typed — so a correction you did not want costs you a single key, not a retyped word. The dictionary behind it grew from under two thousand words to nearly forty-seven thousand, ordered by how common each word is, so suggestions offer the word you meant rather than the one that merely starts the same way. Also in this version: • Hold an Urdu key for the letters that do not fit on the board — ٹ, ڈ, آ, ۓ and the diacritics • Slide your finger along the space bar to move the cursor • Pin a clipboard entry so it is never pushed out by the next ten things you copy • Autocorrect can be turned off in Keyboard settings ## More apps by PT.
