    I use OpenBoard (it’s available on fDroid. Maybe the play store too).

    I don’t know if it’s the best but I like it. If you type in multiple languages you do need to hit a “language switcher” key on the keyboard to switch to the autocorrect for that language. A very minor complaint. Otherwise it’s great.

    And it will learn swear words. No more ducking ducks.

      That’s a huge dealbreaker for me. Switching keyboards is a pain and the different keyboards will have different layouts that I would have to learn to touch-type.

        I only dislike it for German. My other languages are Spanish and English, which have the same layout minus one extra key not even used in English. But in German Z and Y change places, so that always trips me up.

        Having to remember to switch to the different language when writing a bilingual email is also annoying and does happen somewhat more often than you’d imagine.

          For me the keyboard is almost the same except the sizing changes slightly because of the three extra keys on the right side. So I would have to switch between a semi-ortholinear and a staggered keyboard which is pretty annoying. And yeah remembering to switch is also pretty hard for me.
