Additional context
The focus of the project is not to connect to the internet, but I would find it interesting if it could be supported through an external plugin, even if it doesn't integrate natively due to the app's proposal.
Please no - SwiftKey was bloated with all sorts of things that are not actually related to keyboard and now it sucks. I found HeliBoard and it works amazing and is slim without anything else not related to typing and is perfect!

Do you (or anyone else) know an app that can act as some sort of plugin? My current idea would be handling this via intents. Then the user would e.g. select some text and press a translate button. The app sends the text to (whatever app) via intent, this app then does translation and after a while sends an intent with translated text to HeliBoard.
But directly implementing anything that connects to the internet will not happen.
No further reaction, closing. If someone has an idea how to actually do this with some sort of plugin or intent communication: just open a new issue.
I don't understand how development works, but maybe I can help, I use translate you if I'm not mistaken, it brings some offline translators, maybe I could test or integrate the keyboard with translate you somehow...
It doesn't look like TranslateYou supports working in background. It's only possible to start some translation activity (like when selecting text and then opening TranslateYou from the context menu).
