Bridgi Support
Bridgi is a translation keyboard for Android. You type in English in any app; Bridgi translates it to Hebrew and inserts it, right where you're typing. This page covers setup and the questions we get most. If your question isn't answered here, email support@bridgi.app and we'll get back to you.
Setting up the keyboard
- Open the Bridgi app once after installing, and follow the in-app setup.
- Or set it up manually: go to Settings → System → Languages & input → On-screen keyboard → Manage keyboards and turn on Bridgi.
- In any chat, tap the 🌐 globe or keyboard-switch key to switch to Bridgi, type your message in English, and tap Translate. Your text is replaced with the Hebrew translation, ready to send.
Bridgi comes with the internet access it needs to translate, so there's nothing extra to turn on.
Does Bridgi need any special permissions?
No separate prompt to accept. Bridgi needs an internet connection to translate, and on Android that network access is granted automatically when you install the app, unlike the Full Access prompt iPhone keyboards use. Without a connection, Bridgi still opens as a keyboard, but the Translate feature will not produce a result.
The Translate button isn't doing anything
- Make sure you've turned on Bridgi in Settings → System → Languages & input → On-screen keyboard → Manage keyboards.
- Make sure you've switched to the Bridgi keyboard with the 🌐 globe or keyboard-switch key: the Translate button only appears on Bridgi.
- Make sure your phone has an internet connection. Bridgi needs one to translate.
- If it still doesn't respond, fully quit and reopen the app you're typing in, then try again.
What languages does Bridgi support?
Version 1 does one thing well: you type in English and Bridgi inserts Hebrew. More language pairs and directions are on the way.
Is my typing private?
Bridgi sends only the one message you tap Translate on, to produce the Hebrew result, and it is not stored afterward on our side. Nothing else you type is sent anywhere. See the Privacy Policy for the full detail.
Pricing
Bridgi is a subscription: $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year, with a 7-day free trial to start, no card required, and no other in-app purchases.
Refunds
Bridgi is starting on Android, so subscription payments today are handled by Google through Google Play, and refund requests are managed by Google at play.google.com/store/account. iPhone billing and refund details will be published once that version ships.
