When the keyboard is set to German (or any language other than English), the swipe-to-type functionality stops working. If the keyboard is switched to English, swipe input instantly works as expected. This inconsistency suggests that the dictionary or language model for German is either missing or not being recognized by the swipe feature.
Steps to Reproduce
Open any text field (e.g., in a messaging app or notes app).
Set the keyboard layout to German.
Try to input words by swiping across the keys.
Expected Result:
The keyboard should accurately recognize and suggest German words while swiping, similar to how it works in English.
Actual Result:
Swipe is completly deactivated when keyboard language is set to German.
Request: Please investigate the issue with the German (and possibly other non-English) dictionaries. Enabling swipe-to-type support for multiple languages would greatly improve the user experience. If additional dictionaries need to be loaded or updated, it would be helpful if you could include German in future releases.
Thank you for looking into this and for your ongoing efforts to improve the user experience. If you need any further information, logs, or specific steps to reproduce, feel free to let me know.
