Lol this has been on FUTO forever. It has better voice typing, too, and its all on-device.

Let me know when they fix the Swype accuracy (currently it's unusable)

I was about to say the only thing missing from futo keyboard is multilingual typing, but then I checked to be sure, ans turns out they already added that!

I love the Futo Keyboard project, even paid for it. But their swipe typing support is absolutely hot garbage right now.

Others have said this too, although I've never had any issues with it. I mostly use the voice input, regular typing, and predictive text, so maybe I just don't use swipe enough to notice.

Yep, I regularly switch between three languages, and one is a complex format. No complaints whatsoever.

Heliboard is also an excellent option. The best multilingual keyboard IMO is the highly underrated AnySoftKeyboard. It is built from the ground up, so it is very different from the AOSP Keyboards and can be a little bit of an adjustment. Development also seems dormant.

(FUTO, Heli, Simple, Fossify, GBoard, etc are all built on AOSP. I think Florisboard is also built from the ground up, although it's not yet feature complete)
