Contacted typewise, asked if I could purchase apk from them (the pro version or whatever) since I don't use GPlay store and they said no.

EDIT: I deny network permission to Typewise just to be on the safe side, but I'd like to be able to use some of the Pro features, and I'm willing to pay for them. But, no.

Have you tried Heliboard with swiping?

This is what I currently use. The best for me but still lacks things like having multiple languages at the same time.

It has that! 😃 Long press a language in de settings, a pop up menu opens, and add a second language there.

Thank you!

Heliboard language supports is limited, not on par with Google or Microsoft Android keyboard unfortunately. Especially for non-alphabet language.
