Foreign language keyboard apps

[Nigglenaggle]

Can anyone recommend a good one? I'm after a Russian keyboard. Embarrassingly, the problem is that while I do speak Russian, Im clearly doing something wrong as it wont pop up when I am texting or using Russian teaching apps. So I must be misreading something. Surely there are numpty versions somewhere?

Swift Key 3 has tons of language support. I'm not a foreign speaker, but it's by far the best keyboard I've ever used for predictions and corrections, so I'd be surprised if it's Russian wasn't pretty solid too!

OK I will give it a go!!

If you are on Samsung they have lots of keyboards on their app store for nothing.

I like swiftkey too but since it updated to the new version it looks awful on my phone, which has a pretty small screen. Plus you have to pay for it and it may be unnecessary - try this first.

What's probably happening is that although you have russian installed as a language you need to switch the keyboard over to that language. If you're on android you can change it by going to

Settings
Locale and Text
