14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has released a new update for SwiftKey, its super-popular Android and iOS keyboard, and as it happens every time, the main highlight is the support for new languages.
SwiftKey already supports a plethora of languages that many people haven’t even heard about, so it’s quite impressive that the software giant somehow manages to support new languages and dialects with its app.
While it’s hard to say how many people actually use these, Microsoft deserves all the praise for expanding SwiftKey to cover nearly every little corner of the world, especially given that its keyboard app comes with one of the best prediction and suggestion engines on Android and iOS.
New version now available on Android
Version 7.5.0.10, which is now rolling out to Android users across the world (the release takes place in stages, so if you don’t see the new version just yet, just check again later today or in a few hours), brings a series of performance and prediction quality improvements for the Japanese languages, as well as support for a series of languages that you most likely didn’t even know they existed.
For example, SwiftKey now allows you to type in these languages: Araona, Cavineña, Chácobo, Chamacoco, Chipaya, Chiquitano, Eastern Bolivian Guaraní, Ese Ejja, Guarayu, Ignaciano, Maka, Sirionó, Tacana, Trinitario, Tsimané, and Yuracare.
SwiftKey is currently one of the leading, if not the number one, keyboard apps for mobile devices, and this impressive language support is living proof why so many users download it. In addition to so many languages, SwiftKey also comes with theme support, GIF integration, a built-in search, and several other features that are available on both Android and iOS.
SwiftKey wasn’t designed from scratch by Microsoft, as the software giant purchased the company back in 2016 for $250 million.
