google gboard was able to autocorrect both o my languages without me needing to switch the language. wondering if there’s a keyboard that’s open source and can do the same. on open board rn
AnySoftKeyboard and HeliBoard
HeliBoard is amazing, I recommend it! For those wondering how to enable simultaneous multi-lingual support (i.e. swipe or text in both languages and get predictions in both languages), I explained it in this comment chain, and included a screenshot for reference:

I tried both, AnySoftKeyboard was a bit too much effort and took me longer to type on unfortunately. HeliBoard was a nice replacement for SwiftKey for me though.
yup, this is the solution, as someone else pointed out too
działa dobrze :) (works well)
Whilst Heliboard is technically capable of doing the job, the dictionaries are pretty lacking. If anybody has any recommendations regarding those? Swiftkey is pretty bad at recommendations and autocorrect, especially multi language, Heliboard is much worse.
Thank you ! I discovered that just now. 🤗
SwiftKey user here. Been around for 10+ years. Why did you switch to HeliBoard?
Same here actually, ~10 years too lol, since my first Android. SwiftKey worked very well (for me at least) but its owned by Microsoft, which gathers user data. I’ve been making a switch to FOSS apps and trying to degoogle myself in the recent months.
It was hard for me to leave SwiftKey due to other options being unsatisfactory / other keyboards always missing something, but HeliBoard did the trick for me :)
Awesome. We should be friends, we have so much in common. I’ll check it out. Thanks!
helium is actually what I’m on rn :) I remember not liking any soft, but I’ll gibe it another shot
Heliboard does the job for me.
ye my only issue with it is language switching and its autocorrect (esp for polish) is not great
tap on a language in the app’s “Languages & Layouts” section to enable multilingual typing.
oh shit thanks
dziękuje
let’s go it works
nie ma za welcome.
cos ty wyjebal
How do you activate this on AnySoftKeyboard? Mine only autocorrects the current language.
Wow heliboard seems like it might be able to finally replace my m$ swift keyboard!
I really hated having to use that, but I type a lot and it was the only one that had very aggressive auto correct.
i couldn’t find one
i won’t go back to google though :/
i use AnySoftKeyboard with one button language switch
long press the Enter button and pick “Override default dictionary”.
Hi, you’ve given me the impetus to try out ASK instead of SwifyKey, I’m now using ASK :) The one touch language shift is what I want, the mixing of several languages in suggestions is a terrible design I feel.
Many if you combine the language files. AOSP for example, CalyxOS did some additions.
Heliboard is the best, Florisboard may get it.
