Since yesterday, the really cool fork of openboard with active development and support of adding a swype library manually, got rebranded into Heliboard. A release on izzyondroidrepo and fdroid should be coming soon.
PS. If you are using the old fork you have to remove it first and do a backup of your settings.
A very fine keyboard, especially for multilingual typing.
I’ve failed to get that to work. How do you actually get additional languages?
press on the downloaded language and set a secondary dictionary.
It doesn’t really work that well. I tried with my native Romanian + English… It’s frustrating to get it to write sentences that include one work from a different language than the one you started typing.
Really? Maybe it works better for some languages than others, but the majority of what I type on my phone (outside Lemmy) is in Frenglish and Heliboard handles it really well. Have you tried switching which one is set as the primary language? With the most recent update, I was having issues until I changed my primary language to French and the secondary to English.
Oh, well… Maybe it depends on the languages. I’m using it with IT, ES, and EN and it does the job. BTW, maybe you need to download the dictionary?
