How it works

Three steps to fluent messaging

No app switching, no copy-pasting. Just type and go.

1

Enable the keyboard

Add iKey in iOS Settings under Keyboards. The in-app setup guide walks you through it step by step.

2

Pick your languages

Choose a source and target language once. iKey remembers your preference and can auto-detect your input language too.

3

Type and translate

Type naturally in any app. Tap the translate button to convert your message—then send it in a second.

Features

Everything you need to communicate globally

Built for real conversations, not demo videos.

🌍

100+ languages, right on your keyboard

From Spanish and French to Japanese, Arabic, Korean, and beyond — including full RTL and CJK support. Every language gets a native layout.

English Spanish French German Japanese Korean Arabic Chinese Portuguese Russian Turkish Hindi + 90 more

Real-time AI translation

Powered by AI with ultra-low latency. Your messages are translated instantly before you hit send.

🔍

Auto-detect language

Don't know what language you're replying in? iKey detects it automatically so you don't have to configure anything.

📚

Translation history

Access your last translations directly in the keyboard. Favorite important ones — they never expire.

🔒

Privacy first

Full access is used only for server communication. We never store, log, or share anything you type.

🎯

Standalone translator

Need to translate outside the keyboard? The built-in Translate tab handles that with copy-to-clipboard support.

Translation Modes

Match your tone every time

Choose how iKey translates — casual, formal, or creative — to fit any context.

Instant

Fast, direct translation with no style adjustments.

🤝

Friendly

Conversational and warm — great for chats with friends.

💼

Formal

Polished and professional for work messages.

🎨

Creative

Expressive translations that preserve your voice.

FAQ

Common questions

Download iKey from the App Store, then open the app. Follow the step-by-step keyboard setup guide which takes you directly to Settings → General → Keyboard → Add New Keyboard. Once added, you can switch to iKey from any text field using the globe icon on your keyboard.
Full Access is required by iOS for the keyboard extension to reach the internet — which is needed to contact the translation server. Without it, translation can't work. We never store, log, or share anything you type. Your text is sent only to our secure translation server and immediately discarded.
iKey supports 100+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Turkish, Hindi, Dutch, Swedish, Polish, and many more. Both RTL (Arabic, Hebrew) and CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) script input are fully supported.
Translation requires an internet connection since it's powered by our AI translation server. The keyboard itself (typing, switching modes) works offline, but the translation feature needs connectivity.
