It looks like the new iOS update added support for bilingual keyboards!! Does this mean it will stop autocorrecting words to the other language when I’m translanguaging??? #langchat #langtwt #linguistics - ThreadSky

Oh wow I think Android already has had this feature for ages? Especially useful for not having to switch to another language if you want to write different characters...

doriec.bsky.social•90 days ago

For iPhones we’ve always had the ability to switch to different languages directly on the keyboard but this is the first time it’s combining the languages together in a single keyboard. I like it so far!

symbolicstorage.bsky.social•90 days ago

Yes I love this combined language feature! On my phone it even recognises if you only write in one language in some situations and switches to that language only (which, well, let's say it helps with Duolingo)

Yes, not hard on Android.

When iOS recognizes my Philly dialect and stops trying to autocorrect “jawn” to Jaén, I’ll finally rest easy. 🤦‍♂️

It looks like the answer is yes!! It also gave me predictive text in both languages which is neat.

Also, the bilingual predictive text sentence it created is so on brand for me 💀

Gboard on Android solved this a couple years ago but it's good that it's now available on iOS.

To be fair, I’m only tired of one America.. and it’s the one I live in

I can't see any version of "cansere" without thinking of band CSS which apparently parodied a Beyoncé quote, "tired of being sexy."

I'm just canse ser canse.

Yeah, same tbh

Occam’s razor comes to mind - maybe it will be awesome, but it might also be really annoying 🙄

I’ll be curious to see how it works w my Russian keyboard

doriec.bsky.social•90 days ago

I just read on a forum that some users had issues when it tried to merge two languages that don’t share a similar alphabet so they had to reinstall one of the languages 😣

mundodepepita.bsky.social•90 days ago

I would not be surprised. The Russian font always causes weird things to happen w my keyboards

wolfgang.bremer.co•90 days ago

Yeah, that’s possible since September when iOS 18 launched. Helpful most of the times but unfortunately also confusing… 🫤

doriec.bsky.social•90 days ago

Yeah sorry I’m not on the cutting edge of iOS releases 🤷🏻‍♀️

kince.bsky.social•90 days ago
