AutoTrans
Type in yours.
Send in theirs.
AutoTrans is a keyboard that translates your message the moment you press Enter. It works in WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, SMS: anywhere you can type.
Point your phone's camera here to download the APK.
Android 8.0 or newer. No account, no ads, no sign-up.
You write English. They get their language.
Translator apps make every message a six‑step detour.
If you chat with family, a partner or clients in another language, you know the routine. AutoTrans moves the translation into the one place every message already passes through: the keyboard.
The usual way 2 apps
- Write the message WhatsApp
- Select all and copy it WhatsApp
- Switch apps → Translate
- Paste, wait, copy the result Translate
- Switch back → WhatsApp
- Delete your draft, paste, send WhatsApp
Then do it again for the next message.
With AutoTrans 1 app
- Type the way you normally would.
- Press the translate key
Your words are replaced with a natural translation, right in the chat. Tap send and it goes.
Messages you send
Type in English, or whatever you think in. When there is something to translate, the Enter key turns into a translate key. Press it and your draft becomes the translation; in WhatsApp and Telegram you then tap send.
It keeps your emoji, numbers and tone, so “haha ok see u at 5” doesn't come out like a business letter. Hold the key to send exactly what you typed.
Messages you receive
Copy a message you don’t understand and tap Translate Copied in the keyboard toolbar. The translation appears right above your keys, so you can read it and reply in one place.
Voice notes, both ways
Got a voice note you can't follow? Share it from WhatsApp or Telegram to AutoTrans and you'll get a transcript and a translation.
Rather talk than type? Tap the mic, speak in your own language, and the translation is typed for you.

Your language, your alphabet.
Plenty of people don't text in their language's official script. They write Roman Urdu, Hinglish, Banglish or Arabizi. For 21 languages, AutoTrans lets you choose either script.
| Language | Native script | Latin letters |
|---|---|---|
| Urdu | آپ کیسے ہیں؟ | Aap kaise hain? |
| Hindi | क्या हाल है? | Kya haal hai? |
| Serbian | Како си? | Kako si? |
| Arabic | كيف حالك؟ | Kifak? |
| Russian | Как дела? | Kak dela? |
| Japanese | 元気？ | Genki? |
| Chinese | 你好吗？ | Nǐ hǎo ma? |
And when you're not translating, it's a proper keyboard.

130k wordsPredictions from a 130,000-word dictionary that learns the words you use. Auto-correct fixes “wjat” to “what”, and Backspace undoes it.
Accents and numbers

Emoji, GIFs & screenshots
Built inEvery emoji, searchable, with skin tones. GIFs, :-) emoticons, and one-tap pasting of a screenshot you just took.
Looks like Gboard
Light · DarkFollows your phone's light or dark mode, with a proper number pad for codes and phone numbers.
Nothing leaves your phone until you ask it to.
No tracking code
No analytics, no ad SDKs, no keystroke logging. There's nothing in the app that reports on you.
Only what you translate
Text goes out only when you press Enter to translate, tap Translate Copied, or share a voice note. It travels over HTTPS and isn't stored once the translation comes back.
Passwords are off limits
Android never shows password fields to third-party keyboards. That applies to AutoTrans just like Gboard. Read the privacy policy.

Good questions.
Can AutoTrans see what I type?
The keyboard has to read keys to type them, like any keyboard. It doesn't log or save them. Text goes to the translation server only when you ask for a translation, and it isn't kept afterwards.
Why does Android warn me that keyboards can collect text?
Android shows that warning for every third-party keyboard, Gboard and SwiftKey included. It's a general system notice, not something specific to AutoTrans.
Why isn't it on the Play Store?
Not yet. For now it's distributed as a signed APK straight from this site, which is why Android asks you to allow the install.
Android says the app “conflicts with an existing package”.
A copy of AutoTrans signed with a different key is still on the device, often an earlier test build or one inside a second user, work profile or Dual Apps space. Go to Settings → Apps, show all apps, find AutoTrans and uninstall it for all users, then install again.
Which languages does it support?
You can translate into 128 languages, including Latin-letter versions like Roman Urdu, Hinglish and Arabizi. Voice notes can be in any of 100 languages; AutoTrans works out which one automatically.
Does it cost anything?
No. It's free to download and use, with no ads and no account.
