iOS app that translates between languages and allows users to store and delete their translations.

• Users open the app to a TranslationMe home page with a place to enter a word, phrase or sentence, a button to translate, and another field that should initially be empty
• When users tap translate, the word written in the upper field translates in the lower field; you can only translate from one language to another
• A history of translations can be stored (in a scroll view in the same screen, or a new screen)
• The history of translations can be erased
• Add a variety of choices for the languages
• Add UI flair
• Add button to conveniently switch languages

Firebase Firestore is used for the backend (to store the translations), which needs to be setup beforehand.

2. Click "Create a Firebase project"
3. Enter the name of your project and click "Continue"

6. From your new Firebase project overview page, in the Get started by adding Firebase to your app section, click the iOS+ / Apple button
7. Copy the Bundle Identifier from your Xcode app
8. Paste the Apple bundle ID (from your Xcode project app)
9. Click the Register app button to continue
10. Move the GoogleService-Info.plist file you just downloaded into the root of your Xcode project
11. (Back in Firebase) Click the Next button
12. Use Swift Package Manager to install and manage Firebase dependencies by navigating to File > Add Package Dependencies
13. Remove unnecessary frameworks. You only need FirebaseAuth and FirebaseFirestore. (Select all of the other frameworks that were embedded and use the (-) button to remove them. If you accidentally remove a framework you need, you can use the (+) button to add it back)
14. (Back in Firebase) Click the Next button

rules_version = '2';

service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    // Allow read and write access to the 'translations' collection
    match /translations/{document=**} {
      allow read, write: if true; // This allows both read and write access for all users
    }
  }
}

rules_version = '2';

service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {

    // All authenticated users
    // https://firebase.google.com/docs/rules/basics?authuser=0#all_authenticated_users
    match /{document=**} {
      allow read, write: if request.auth != null;
    }
