Why did the language button get scrapped

BoneBowlers — Mon, 13 Jan 2014 20:31:32 GMT

Did the update today, and because of that the simple button with the simple task of choosing the language of the keyboard is scrapped.

I am Norwegian so ofcourse i want Norwegian keys, but 65% of the text i write is in English so i want that keyboard too.

No i dont think the "so-called self learning dictionary" works anymore.

Try learning your phone the simple word "**bleep**" and then swipe the word afterwards. It comes up with sitt, sir, shot and so on but not **bleep**... its buggered.

If I want to talk to me English speaking friends, I wanne be able to disconnect the Norwegian keys so I can type in English and not having to worry that this new "stupid" dictionary keeps putting in Norwegian words...

Let me just say: IF IT WORKS, DON`T FIX IT!

Come on people! Give us the option to choose to use the language button or not. Now we dont even have the choise and it sux.

The Keyboard got smarter.
You can choose multiple languages and type in all those with the same profile. Swipe learning is perfectly working for me and I don't think that it's not working for you.
Search the Keyboard settings for additional languages or something like that and tell us if everything is alright now

I agree with the original poster, the keyboard got dumber. I regularly use the three languages, and the predictive dictionary now more often gets them mixed up. 😞

Thanks, i was afraid i was the only one with the stupified keyboard and "unpredictive" dictionary.

Ide say its getting stupider by the minutte.

Every word i try to "learn" it never comes up as a word in the dictionary.

And the fact that before you could click on a button and see more choises, versus 2 words today? Bah!

There must be a way of "rolling back" the system cause this poooh is not worth it anymore.

I also noticed its using more power than before... i usually had 30% left at the end of the day, now tho... allready recharging it...

I almost feel like throwing the phone in the garbage and buy a samsung or something...

Don't agree with you. Main is like the post above. I can't make dictionary to remember special words and when I switch to use 2 languages auto correct will always offer my second language words only. Not to correct English. So I believe it is not learning from anywhere not from typing here not from Gmai ( that would be cool) not from texting. Anybody know how to fix it?
