The Gboard app for iOS devices is finally getting support for translation features which the Android counterpart of the keyboard received 2 years ago. Powered by Google Translate, you can now use Gboard on your iPhone and iPad to conveniently translate text into other languages right from the keyboard.
The new feature is rolling out with Gboard version 1.42.0. You can download it from the App Store on your iOS devices.
To translate using Gboard on your iPhone, tap the G logo button in the top bar of the keyboard » select Translate from the expanded menu » select the language you want to translate into » then type your text and hit the Translate button on the keyboard to translate the text into the language you selected.
Here’s the full changelog for the Gboard app version 1.42.0 from the App Store.
In this version we have:
• Translate: You can now use Gboard to translate to and from all the languages supported by Google Translate. Find translate in the suggestion strip or behind the Google button.
