Predictions from multiple languages without switching between them

[woj-tek]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be great to be able to get predictions/corrections from multiple enable languages/dictionaries.

Describe the solution you'd like
I enable English/Spanish/Polish and while typing I get autocorrect from all of them if the word ~matches

Use case
It helps typing when often switching between languages, even mid-sentence.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Right now I'm using SwiftKey, which does that (and did for a very long time - one of the reason I switched to it more than 10 years ago) but given decline in SK correction performance I'm looking for alternatives and from the quick tests HeliBoard seems to work quite nice, multi-lang is the only missing part :-)

Additional context
Those issues seems to be relevant:
#63
#50

but while I enabled 3 languages I still have to switch between them manually so I'm a little bit at loss here.

Enable multilingual typing. Tap a language and an options window will appear where you can add languages.

How is this supposed to work? I currently use Eng-US and PT-pt layouts, both have their main dictionaries but it always fails to predict Portuguese words.

Edit: ah, had to configure priorities.

It works! Thank you so much.

Though, would be nice if the configuration was somewhat simplified i.e. selecting languages on first screen already enables multi-language typing or an indication that such thing can be added...

I don't see this Enable multilingual typing. Option. Is it hidden somewhere
?

@mariozhivago what are you missing from the FAQ?

@woj-tek in general the whole settings could use an overhaul, this has been in the to to secion for quite a while now. But so far I don't even have a plan on how to arrange them (also keeping in mind that new settings will be added), so it will certainly be a while.

Anyway, I'll close the issue, the feature is already implemented.

Do you have any ticket for the settings overhaul? (apart from the to-do section)?

At any rate, for now I opted for downgrading SwiftKey to ancient (from 2018) 7.1.1.25 :D I would go earlier but they don't allow downloading language packs so this is the most usable version when it comes to predictions.

I do test HeliBoard and FlorisBoard every couple of weeks (usually when new release pops up on f-droid) and hope to switch to one of those in the future. Thank you for all the amazing work! 👍

@mariozhivago please, check FAQ page linked by @Helium314.
It's explained there ("Multilingual typing" section).

Hello,
Thank you and now i get it, i kept reading and not sure what that meant as it an unsual way to enable it.
