iMessage: common questions.

Everything people ask about the keyboard, how it works, and what it costs.

Can iPhone translate iMessage automatically?

Messages does not translate conversations for you as you type. A translator keyboard adds it: you type in your language and send the translation, inside the same chat.

Does it work with SMS as well as iMessage?

Yes. Translatify is a keyboard, so it works in green-bubble SMS conversations and blue-bubble iMessage ones alike.

Will the other person see anything unusual?

No. They receive a normal message in their language, sent from your number as usual.

Can I read a message I was sent in another language?

Yes. Copy the message, then tap the clipboard button on the Translatify keyboard to see it in your language.

Still not sure? Ask us anything.

It works in your other apps too.

Same keyboard, same languages, wherever you type.

Start texting in their language.

Free to download on iPhone. Works in iMessage and every other app you type in.
