Slated 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

*Rest assured, no data of any kind is stored or shared by Slated. Translations use network access for Google services, and are bound by their terms of service and privacy policy. This is machine translation, in order to be in real time, so don't expect perfect, native colloquialisms and diction as if it were from a native speaker! It is a great way to get your meaning across if you don't speak the language, and a different way to learn vocabulary!
HOW TO USE SLATED:
● From your normal keyboard, press and hold the bottom left button (usually a globe or smiley), and select Slated from the list
● Once visible, choose the language you want to translate to by tapping the ... button
● Type anything, and tap the translation that shows up to replace your text
● If you want to "reverse translate" text, just copy it and it will show up translated just above the keyboard buttons
