AI Translation Keyboard for Android
Type in your language, send in theirs. SmartType translates your messages in real time across 369 languages — right inside the app you are already using, with no copy-paste and no app switching.
Translate as you type, in any app
Most people translate a message the slow way: switch to a translator app, paste the text, copy the result, switch back, and paste again. SmartType removes every one of those steps. Because it is a keyboard, it works everywhere you type — WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, Telegram, Gmail, your notes, and any browser. Write your message, tap translate, choose the target language, and the translated text is ready to send.
369 languages, both ways
SmartType supports 369 languages for translation and typing, from widely spoken ones like English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, and Chinese to regional and less-common languages. You can translate an incoming message to understand it, or translate your own reply before you send it, so conversations flow naturally even when you and the other person do not share a language.
Built for real conversations, not just words
A good translation keeps the meaning and the tone, not just the dictionary definitions. SmartType uses AI translation that reads the whole sentence, so it handles context, gender agreement, and natural phrasing far better than word-by-word tools. That matters most in the messages that count — replying to a client, texting family abroad, or writing to someone you just met while traveling.
Who it is for
Travelers who need to communicate on the ground, people in multilingual families, freelancers and support teams messaging international customers, students, and anyone who chats across languages every day. If you regularly switch to Google Translate while messaging, a translation keyboard saves you the round trip on every single message.
More than translation
SmartType is a full AI keyboard, so translation sits alongside AI grammar correction, smart replies, and tone transformation. You can fix a sentence, change its tone, then translate it — all before you hit send. See the full guide to translating messages while typing or compare it with Gboard.
