Could you build this?

Partial The translate-in-text-field experience is possible with an LLM or translation API. A real keyboard requires iOS keyboard extension and Android IME work, which is platform-specific and constrained by privacy and latency rules that vibe coding handles poorly.

What it would actually take: Build a custom keyboard extension for iOS (UIInputViewController) and an Android InputMethodService, with a translation backend such as a cloud LLM or MT API. The hard parts are the sandboxed keyboard constraints, including limited access to text and the need for full-access permissions, and keeping translation latency low while handling privacy. That needs native mobile expertise and careful handling of user text.
