## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-06-04

Bilingual translation output:

New Translation Output setting: insert the translation on its own, or together with the original text — each line tagged with the matching language flag
Choose between Translation Only, Original + Translation, or Translation + Original. Bilingual modes are part of Babel Fish Pro.
Clearer guidance when "Allow Full Access" is off, so the keyboard can reach the AI.
Stability and error-message improvements.  


New: Automatic sentence capitalization

  • The keyboard now auto-capitalizes the first letter of a sentence —
    the start of the text and the first letter after ". ", "! " or "? ".
    This applies both while typing and to AI/translation output.
  • The Shift (⇧) key now lights up and shows uppercase letters whenever
    the next letter will be auto-capitalized, like the native keyboard.
  • New "Auto Capitalization" toggle in the keyboard's Settings
    (ON by default). Turn it off to type with no auto-capitalization.

  Also fixed
  • Selecting an AI model in the keyboard's Settings (AI Model) no longer
    crashes/closes the keyboard on Pro accounts.

  What to test
  1. Open the keyboard, tap Settings, confirm "Auto Capitalization" is ON.
  2. Type: hello. how are you? i'm fine!  → should render
     "Hello. How are you? I'm fine!" and the ⇧ key should light up after
     each ". " / "! " / "? ".
  3. Select some lowercase text and tap Translate → the inserted result
     should be sentence-capitalized.
  4. Paste/type a URL or email (e.g. https://example.com/test. hello) in
     the translation flow → the link stays intact, only "hello" → "Hello".
  5. Turn the toggle OFF → typing and output keep their original casing.
  6. Settings → AI Model → scroll and select a model → keyboard stays
     open and applies the selection (no crash).
