Instant Translation While Typing in the Translation Text Field
OverClocked TESTER ·
As a part of reworked AI & translation UI, further to #S385, could we have automatic translation and insert when typed into the Translation text field, eliminating the needs for two clicks for “translate” and “insert”. The main input field to be filled and updated as we type and make corrections in the translation text field. Also attaching screenshot of another keyboard for reference.

@efko live translation works well. The primary input field updates as sentences are typed or revised. However, in the translation box, tapping anywhere shifts the cursor to the start; to place it at a specific point, we need to press and hold instead of tapping.
@OverClocked a tap gave the translation box focus for a split second and then handed it straight back to the chat, and the tap position got lost on the way, so the cursor fell back to the start. Press-and-hold worked because it moves the cursor after that hand-off. Fixed for build 457 and 2.2.1 on the App Store: a tap puts the cursor where you tapped, and holding still drags it with your finger.
Tap to place the cursor in translation field works correctly now.
