Hello everybody, and especially for those who have many keyboards on their devices.

Many keyboards means that we have a lots of contact in which we have regular conversions per mails, sms,mms and so on...
Sometime we have the situation we have started a communication, and we remarks afterwards that we have forgotten to change the keyboard. Then happened that we haven't good aimed on the right keyboard (because sensible swype function, big fingers, not fast enough etc..)

Then i would find really great if the OS change automatically the keyboard if we will begin to write to a known person with a typical language.
Means that somewhere in contact data on device there is a field which informs the OS that the Contact is english, french, spanish, german, or italian...

That's why i bring this request up, to make a language field ready by each contacts, that the OS could change the keyboard to the right language. Means then 2 requests, for a great experience....

Have a nice sails all.

cheers

@pawel that's quite the same, but not the same.
The one idea in your reference ask for memories the last language used.
Means you can mix the language in a conversation line, and the last is reused.

In my idea, the language is define in the contact field, and the app which use a keyboard may have an access on it. And could trigger a function by keyboard which change to the it with the found one.

Big difference not?
Sorry i allow me to release the duplicate "tag"...

by the way, i found really bug friendly for having something which memories which language was used. Compare to a solution with a fixed parameter as field, that an app could read and react with it, and could be transmitted through x protocolls (like carddav and others) with an extra field for it...
Where should it be stored? in ram? or xml file? could the next app-version use the same trick/xml/qml format?....

cemoi71 ( 2016-10-10 19:37:43 +0300 )edit

the result is the same, your solution is the clearer one

i actually did not tag it as duplicate.
