Could you build this?
Partial The keyboard UI and translation flow are buildable, but an iOS custom keyboard extension with inline text replacement is constrained by Apple's sandbox and needs native iOS work that vibe coding handles unevenly.
What it would actually take: Build a native iOS app with a Custom Keyboard Extension in Swift, using Apple's Translation framework for on-device translation. The hard parts are keeping the extension responsive within iOS memory and latency limits, handling text-proxy replacement in third-party chat apps, and meeting App Review rules for keyboards. An iOS developer familiar with extensions is needed.
