This work augments novel text translation features to the suggestion bar of a virtual keyboard to facilitate fast and easy translation on mobile devices. The method was evaluated in two user studies. In the first study, native Hindi and Mandarin speakers exchanged text messages in each other's language using the method. All participants found the method fast and easy, the quality and the flow of the conversation satisfactory, and wanted to use it frequently for multilingual and polyglot texting. In the second study, participants performed various translation tasks using the proposed method and the default Google keyboard's translation feature. Results revealed that the proposed method was significantly faster and required fewer actions for translation tasks. Further, most participants found the method more effective and user-friendly.
