As a German, I hate that "im" is always going to be corrected to "I'm" if you do write de/en.

Im is like at the moment or inside, used very frequently. So it's hellishly annoying to have to watch for that all the time.

in gboard, at least, you can set two dictionaries for the same keyboard, which I think should theoretically prevent that from happening. If you're using an iphone or another keyboard an equivalent feature might exist.

I know you're probably just ranting but I'm going to say this anyway because I, too, had the same issue before discovering this

I'm stuck (mentally) with SwiftKey. The language is shown as de/en.

Is there a possibility too?

[-] beegnyoshi@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

go to swiftkey > language > add language and it looks like simply adding a german keyboard should do the trick.

It says:

Multilingual: You can type in any installed language that is supported by your current keyboard layout without the need to switch keyboards.

Ah OK yes thanks I think I misunderstood.

Is there a way to use it without it changing im to I'm all the time.
