Translate Kurdish without leaving the conversation

The usual way to send a Kurdish sentence to someone who does not read Kurdish is four steps long: leave the app, open a translation site, paste, copy the result back. iKeyboard removes all four — you write in the message field you were already in, and the translation replaces what you typed.

How it works

  1. Write the sentence in Kurdish

    In any app with a text field — Messages, WhatsApp, Instagram, Mail, Notes.

  2. Tap translate on the keyboard

    The control is on the keyboard itself, so you never leave the conversation or lose what you were writing.

  3. Pick the language

    English, Arabic, Turkish, Persian, German, Swedish and 128 more. The languages you use most stay at the top.

  4. Send

    The translated text is in the field, ready to send. The original stays available if you want to check it or send both.

It works where you are, not in a separate app

Because this is a keyboard, it is present in every app that accepts typing. There is no share sheet, no “open in”, and nothing to install per app. The same is true in reverse: a message you received can be selected and translated in place.

Both directions work — Kurdish into 133 languages, and those languages back into Kurdish.

What is sent, and what is not

Translation is the one feature that needs the network, and iOS gives a keyboard extension no network access at all until you grant Full Access. That is why the app asks for it, and it is the only thing it is used for here.

Only the text you explicitly ask to translate is sent. Your ordinary typing — messages, passwords, searches — is never recorded, stored or transmitted, with Full Access on or off. The personal dictionary that improves your suggestions stays on the device.

Common questions

Does translation work offline?

No. Translation needs a connection; everything else — the layout, autocorrect, suggestions, themes — works with no network at all.

Can it translate into Kurdish as well as out of it?

Both directions. You can write in Kurdish and send it in another language, or take a message you received and read it in Kurdish.

Is it accurate enough to send?

It is machine translation, and it is good at everyday sentences and weaker at idiom, poetry and legal wording. For anything that has to be exact, read the result before you send it — which is why the original stays in reach.
