More Sailfish look'n feel to UI #31

First of all, thanks for your great app! This would get even better with more Sailfish look'n feel UI. Good guideline is in here for example:

Not sure how clear function should be implemented though if buttons are removed. Maybe swipe to left = translate and adding one level in page hierarchy. Swipe to right would come one level up + clear?

Hi and thank you for your suggestions.

Regarding swipe to translate. I find it a bit less usable. Currently, when user wants to do a new translation he just presses Clear and can already type a new word (one action). The way you suggest, he'll have to swipe back and then press Clear (two actions). Clearing on swipe back is not an option, because there will be no way to correct an already entered text. Whenever I introduce settings page, I might bring an option to switch between "quick" (current) and full Sailfish OS experience (your suggestion) behaviors. So I took your request for consideration.

Regarding Clear button. Unfortunately, there seems to be no standard text input element with "embedded" clear button. But I was already thinking of making one to get rid of the button.
