Translate right where you type.

Speak in your language. Get a translated draft for messages, emails, and travel plans.

Chat replies

Say your reply and insert the translation directly into your conversation.

好呀,我们十二点见。

Sounds good. See you at noon.

Work emails

Dictate an email in your language. Choose a formal tone for your translated draft.

谢谢你的反馈,我明天发更新版。

Thanks for your feedback. I’ll send the updated version tomorrow.

Travel messages

Translate questions about bookings, arrival times, and directions before you send them.

我们会晚一点到,可以保留预订吗?

We’ll arrive a little late. Could you hold our reservation?

Same thought. The right tone.

A work email and a message to a friend shouldn’t sound the same. Choose Natural, Formal, or Casual from the keyboard menu.

Natural

Are you free for lunch tomorrow? We could meet at noon.

Formal

Would you be available for lunch tomorrow at noon?

Casual

Lunch tomorrow? How about noon?

Understand their side, too.

Copy a message you’ve received and paste it into Understand. Translate it into your chosen language, then switch back to Speak to write your reply.

The table is booked for noon. See you there!
Chinese
SpeakUnderstand

Tap Paste to translate into Chinese

The table is booked for noon. See you there!

已经订好中午十二点的位子了。到时候见!

Frequently asked questions

What is Transly keyboard translation?

Transly is a translation keyboard for iPhone. Speak in a language you know, and it inserts a translated draft into the text field you’re using—for messages, emails, and more.

How is it different from a translation app?

You can dictate a translated reply inside your messaging or email app instead of translating elsewhere and copying it back. To understand an incoming message, copy it and paste it into Understand on the keyboard.

How do I get started?

Download Transly, sign in, and follow the setup to enable the keyboard, Full Access, and microphone access. In your messaging app, switch to Transly with the globe key. Choose an output language, tap the mic, speak, and tap the checkmark.

Does it work in WhatsApp, Messages, and email?

It works in apps and text fields that allow third-party keyboards. Some apps and secure fields use the system keyboard instead. You review and send the translated draft yourself.

Do I need to speak the other language?

No. Choose the language you want to write in, then speak in a language you know. Check the app for available languages, and review translations before sending important messages.

Can it translate messages I receive?

Yes. Copy a message, switch to Understand, choose your reading language, and tap Paste. The translation appears in the keyboard and can be copied.

Is keyboard translation free?

You get 2,000 characters of free usage to try voice input and keyboard translation. If you need more, check the Transly plans in the app.

Does it read my chats or record all the time?

It doesn’t automatically read your chats. You paste text yourself and choose when each voice recording starts and ends. During an active voice session, the microphone stays available, but waiting audio is not saved or uploaded. You can end the session in Transly.

Don’t let language end the conversation.

Bring Transly to your iPhone keyboard.
