I like HeliBoard. It automatically switches between the languages I write in.
I'm currently using OpenBoard but you sold me on that one, thanks!
How do you make it switch automatically?
I just start writing in the different language and the suggestions + autocorrect switch for me. All the languages (other than Korean) use the same keyboard layout and for the umlauts I need to hold the aoeu shortly to get the right umlaut, or I just rely on the autocorrect.
Back to heliboard. I found the setting. In the languages selection, it seems it is only a toggle and to get the menu you need to long press. That needs to be fixed and put the multi language option outside.
Yeah heliboard is the only one I've found that is actually usable on a day to day. Just wish the autocorrect was better, other than that no complaints.
How do you set it up to do that? I just discovered multilingual typing, but that does not seem to be quite it.
I installed the dictionaries I need and then followed https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard/wiki/FAQ#multilingual-typing-type-in-multiple-languages-without-switching-manually
Okay, thanks. The switching between languages is not perfect yet, but works okay. I regularly get suggestions for another language than I am currently typing.
