Keylish: Pinyin & Languages

Keylish is a Chinese pinyin keyboard with optional translation comparison in multiple languages. Type Chinese or English normally and see translations beneath candidates to pick up expressions as you go.

Chinese input • 26-key full pinyin and optional nine-key pinyin on iPhone, with a local Rime dictionary • On iPhone nine-key, slide from a letter key to enter that exact letter directly; hold for the cross picker • Tap a Chinese candidate, or press Space during pinyin composition to select the first candidate, to enter Chinese • Exact-match English word candidates enter that English word when selected • Tappable pinyin correction candidates, which can be disabled in Settings • Press Return during pinyin composition to enter the raw pinyin letters • Optional emoji suggestions after a matching Chinese word, including pinyin initials and nine-key input • Standard, large, or extra-large candidate text, chosen in the app or on the keyboard • On iPhone, the compact punctuation key enters the Chinese comma on a tap and the period on an upward slide • Hold backspace, then slide up to clear the whole field • Numbers, symbols, emoji, and capitalization

Translation comparison in multiple languages • Chinese pinyin and English ABC each have their own comparison switch and target language • See translations or meanings in your selected language beneath Chinese candidates and English completions • Available languages depend on the translation pairs supported by your device and system; check the list in the app • Long-press a candidate to read every meaning in a popup; tap one to insert it, or use the playback control when a system voice is available • Turn automatic speech off or choose an installed voice for each comparison language • Uses Apple's on-device translation; prepare the language resources for offline use • Normal candidate taps and Space still enter Chinese; only an explicit tap in the meaning popup inserts a translation
