Languages & Models
In this menu, you can manage languages, their resources (such as dictionaries), and active keyboard layouts.
Add language
Tap Add language, search for your language, and select the layout.
The application currently does not ship with a dictionary for most languages. You will need to manually download one by tapping the Explore link. See the video below:
Switch language
There are two ways you can switch languages:
- The globe icon in the action bar - tap for next, long-press for list
- The space-bar - long-pressing will open a list by default
You can customize this behavior. Some common customizations:
- Replace the emoji key with the globe icon. This is available in Settings -> Actions, or search "Language switch key"
- Swipe the space bar to switch languages. This is available in Settings -> Keyboard & Typing -> Long-Press Keys & Spacebar -> Spacebar Behavior, or search "Spacebar behavior"
Enable multilingual typing
You can get autocorrect and predictions for multiple languages simultaneously. Enable the Multilingual typing for two or more languages (e.g. English and German).
The languages and their layouts will remain as separate options in the language selector, but you will get predictions in multiple languages when using them, without needing to manually switch layouts.
For example, you can type "Guten Morgen everyonr" and it will autocorrect to "everyone". Likewise, you can swipe those words, no layout switching needed.
Voice input will use the model of your currently selected language. If it's a multilingual model, it will automatically detect and pick the language between your enabled multilingual languages. Note the default English model is English-only
