The concept is simple but really practical. I can see this being useful for people who use Chinese every day but want to improve their English naturally.

 We’ll gradually add support for more languages too. Feel free to let me know if there’s anything you’d like us to add.

 Thank you, other languages will be supported soon as well.

Congrats!

 Thank you! Stan Xu

 Thanks a lot, Stan

Great! Does it support other languages?

 Thanks! Yes, we’ll keep adding support for more languages and improving the typing experience. Feel free to let me know if there’s anything you need.

 Yes, other languages will be supported soon as well.

Does it work smoothly when switching between Chinese input and normal English typing?

 We’re continually improving the experience to make it feel easier and more natural to use.

 Thank you, , it doesn't change the regular input method switching.

Does it translate the whole thought naturally or mainly use it to surface useful English expressions?

I can see this being handy if you're already learning a language and want to get more comfortable writing. The everyday typing approach makes sense.

 Our goal is that you can learn while typing in your everyday life, which saves quite a bit of time.

 Yes! We’re planning to let you switch the output language anytime as you type, so you can choose which language goes into the text field. We’ll also make the typing experience smoother and keep adding and improving multilingual features.

I like the idea of turning everyday typing into a small English practice session. It feels much less like studying.

 Thanks you! Yes, we want learning another language to feel natural and fit into your daily routine, without feeling forced or frustrating.

 Thank you, Alicia, it's worthy give it a try
