Description

While referring to this issue here Scribe-desktop issue #20.

I found that I have to implement this feature on iOS as well.

I am thinking that we have to create the states for the source and target languages to make this work , so that user can switch but I have no idea on making the interfaces with different characters.

@andrewtavis @henrikth93 What do you think about this ?

Hey @priyankaforu 👋 There's already an option to switch between the source languages that's in the menu. You can see this when you go into the menu for the given keyboard. We did just get a suggestion from a designer that we allow the user to switch the translation language from the UI, with the current thought being that we can maybe link to the option in the menu from the keyboard?

So it would be like:

• User is using the German keyboard and is translating from English by default
• User wants to translate from Spanish
• The user goes to translate and sees en -> de: as the placeholder
• The user presses en -> de: and is navigated to the menu to switch the translation language
• The user can then switch back to the app they're typing in

The benefit of this is that we don't need to maintain multiple translation language switch UIs, and leaving the option in the menu keeps it consistent with the other menu options.

Let us know how this sounds! 😊
