Windows 10 has made it easier for users who type in more than one language to get accurate text predictions without needing to switch languages manually. Starting with the April 2018 Update (version 1803), Windows 10 allows you to see predictions for up to three different languages while using the touch keyboard. This is particularly useful for those who work or communicate in multiple languages regularly, helping save time and making typing more efficient.
If you frequently use more than one Latin script language, you can enable multilingual text prediction using these steps:
Step 01:
Open Settings by pressing Windows + I or by clicking the Start menu and selecting the gear icon.
Step 02:
Click on Devices.
Step 03:
Click on Typing.
Step 04:
Turn on the Multilingual text prediction toggle switch.
Once you’ve completed these steps, Windows 10 will automatically show text predictions for up to three recognized languages that you are typing in. This makes it easy to switch between languages without manually changing settings each time.

One of the key improvements brought by this feature is its ability to work with multiple Latin script languages simultaneously, including but not limited to English, Spanish, French, and German. This integration is particularly beneficial for users who are bilingual or multilingual, as it helps increase typing speed and reduces errors by predicting words in the languages you’re using.
Incorporating SwiftKey’s advanced AI technology, this feature improves over time by learning your specific writing habits in multiple languages, which means the suggestions become more personalized and accurate the more you use it. This is especially useful in professional environments where fast and accurate communication in more than one language is essential.
Furthermore, this feature not only supports typing in multiple languages but also provides text predictions for commonly used phrases, slang, and even technical terms, adapting to your specific needs. The learning process happens locally on your device, ensuring privacy while still allowing for an optimized typing experience.
