Talk to friends in another language, even if neither of you can speak it! KeySlator translates while you type into your choice of over 80 languages! It can also translate what your friends send back to you in that language, instantly. ******************************************************************** As seen on TechCrunch, LifeHacker, iMore, and more! ******************************************************************** KeySlator is a keyboard extension - it can replace your keyboard in other apps, letting you converse in another language. As you type, it translates into your preferred language. Also, by simply copying any other text that's in that language, you'll see it translated back into yours. So you can and a friend can both type in a foreign language--even if it's foreign to both of you! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "If you’re interested in communicating with someone in real-time in their own language, it’s a fairly small price to pay....We’re nearing the era of the true Babel fish, people, and it’s amazing to watch." - TechCrunch - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Works with SMS, iMessage, WhatsApp, Line, WeChat, KakaoTalk, Twitter, Kik, Facebook Messenger, Viber, Skype, Tango, and your favorite messaging app, even with YouTube.

I type and nothing appears in the language bar. Ver upset. ### 1/5 — broken *2017-02-16, version 1.1* dont waste money like i did ### 1/5 — how can get ny money back? *2016-11-25, version 1.1* does not work ### 1/5 — Broken app *2016-11-18, version 1.1* Absolute waste of money. Hasn't been updated in a year. Lacks iOS 10 support. App doesn't work. It's broken. Don't waste your money. ### 1/5 — Money back PLEASE *2016-05-29, version 1.1* This is a WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY ### 1/5 — Can I have my $4.99 back? *2016-03-20, version 1.1* As soon as you open this app you will simply get a blank white screen. I tried restarting my iPad mini 3, but to no avail. You are a thief and it is illegal to steal people's money under false pretenses! ### 1/5 — Bull *2015-10-31, version 1.1* It doesn't work! ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY *2015-07-11, version 1.0* I bought this app out of need and good faith since I did not find any reviews for it. But I will do everyone a favor and write this review so you can avoid wasting $4.99 on this app which should be free (and even free I would have wasted my time with it). It does not work well in translating simple words like it can not even translate hello into Chinese 你好 (this means hello btw). DO NOT BUY this app. ## Frequently asked questions about KeySlator ### What languages does KeySlator support?
