The Polynesian Keyboard app for Android mobile users
Huri Translations has developed The Polynesian Keyboard application for mobiles running Android 5.0 and up.
 
Macron Fast & Easy
The Polynesian Keyboard app saves you time and brings you fun:
Users no longer need to browse through a list of accented vowels to type macrons. Simply long-press on the vowel to macronize it!
 
Apostrophe located on main set of characters
In many Polynesian languages and dialects, the apostrophe is needed to write glottal stops. Because they are frequently used and necessary to avoid confusion with other words, Huri Translations has integrated the apostrophe into the main set of characters of the Polynesian Keyboard so it's just faster and easier to write!
When you start a sentence with an apostrophe, the next letter will keep the shift key on so you start with an Upper-case vowel directly after the apostrophe.
 
Seven Polynesian delicacies to suit your taste!
The Polynesian Keyboard comes out in seven different themes:
 
• Tahitian Vanilla

• Lilikoʻi
