Adding keyboard languages does not add word suggestions.

WickedMouse

When typing with the default GrapheneOS keyboard in English, one can see word suggestions at the top. When I add other languages that I want to use, they do not show word suggestions. This carries over to other keyboards it seems. Because I've never really learned to type on a mobile device the swipe typing is really handy for me, but since only English receives word suggestions, the swipe typing in Gboard for instance is also only functional for English.

Apologies for necro-ing this thread, but I'd like to be able to more easily type in other languages than English. Is there a way to add dictionaries (other than personal) to the keyboards?

Had the same question a few weeks ago. Unfortunatly, it looks like only a dozen languages support word suggestion on the standard keyboard. So no luck for now if you intend to use word spelling/suggestions

Duckduck Interesting. I tried OpenBoard as suggested in your thread and though it does not have glide/swipe typing, it did add word suggestions/correction for Dutch, but not for Norwegian. I thought dictionaries was only done on the OS level, not per keyboard.

Duckduck

Hmm. Weird about that first part. I too think that it is done on Os level, and the setting is there under langague. But the actual options for suggestions are made from the specific keyboard in my experience

WickedMouse

Yeah, I can only use the Dutch suggestions/correction with OpenBoard. Not with any of the others.

@GrapheneOS would it be possible to add more language to the stock keyboard? Or is that not inside the scope of GOS since the stock keyboard is aosp? The language is there but the spellchecking is not.

Would be awewsome though, not needing yo install another app for that
