Changing language from the keyboard? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is this possible at all? I've been trying to find out how to do it but I get way too many results about other keyboards or other iterations of HTC's keyboard...
Anyway, I can't seem to figure out how to do it on my EVO, kind of indispensable since I switch a lot from English to Spanish mid-message (and vice versa)... Whenever I type anything in Spanish I end up inadvertently adding words to the dictionary, and the alternative would be to have no auto-correction which would suck.
So can anybody help an Android noobie out? I've been meaning to try Swype (which I'm told has a key for language switching) but I wanted to have the option of using either keyboard anyway.

Strange words in German dictionary

I have a german Artemis and I really wonder about the words that are available in the input dictionary. A lot of very common words are missing but a lot of strange and rarely used words are available. Where did Microsoft take these words from? Did they prefer long words as to maximize the time you save by using the dictionary?
The german dictionary contains "anregung" but not "anruf" or "anrufen", "instanz" but not "installation", "sterblichkeit" but not "sterben". Words like "mögen", "möchte" and "Michael" are missing, instead there is "Hügellandschaft".
I know how to add words but I guess there is no way to put a completely alternative dictionary!?

[Q] vietnamese language pack for gingerbread keyboard.

Ok!
I've seriously been looking around and couldn't find the right resolution for this.
Everyone should know by now, the new gingerbread ROM comes with the gingerbread keyboard. And the setting of the keyboard let us choose which languages to use/type. I selected EN and VN and obviously I got the swipe the space bar to change language. But I can only get English (EN) so I went out and google all over the forums but all I get is to install more keyboards, more junks onto my phone. So just a quick answer please, does the default gingerbread support Vietnamese typing or not? If yes then lead me.
Kindly.
Me too.
I'm wondering how to type Vietnamese using GingerBread keyboard.
Waiting for solution.
Same problem.

[Q] Gingerbread Keyboard dictionaries not working

Hello.
Been using GingerVillain for quite some time now. Since the begining that i struggle to get sms/emails out without any gramatical errors since the keyboard dictionary doesnt work.
I go to language and keyboard settings-> Android keyboard-> input languages and have ****loads of dictionaries there to choose from.
Oddly enough, the only one that works is English.
Have searched this forum for an answer and didnt found one.
Any clues in how to get a Portuguese keyboard dictionary for example?!?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Bilingual post spelling options

The HTC One X has the option to underline badly spelled words. It seems to be related to the system language, and therefore it does not seem to be possible to make it bilingual. I would like to have the system check for both Dutch and English, but it seems I have to choose based on my system language. On the other hand, text prediction (so not the post-spelling check!) is able to work with two languages at a time.
Therefore my question: is it possible to set the post-spelling options to both Dutch and English, or will I have to live with just one language (as I fear at the moment)?
Bilingual trace
I'm afraid I'm replying not with an answer, but with an additional question.
I have the impression that the bilingual feature is strictly limited to predictions/suggestions while normally using the keyboard. Because I noticed that when I'm using the Trace feature (very handy in my opinion), it reverts to only using the System Language... sad
Did anyone else notice this? Is there any way to make the second language work for Trace as well (and for the post-spelling check)?
Shouldn't be that hard to develop, so it seems like they just forgot to add this. Except if I'm missing something?

Swedish/localized keyboard layouts?

Hey there!
I'm a generally happy owner of a OP3 I got in the mail today. I've been using a Samsung S4 for ages and it was finally time to switch to something new.
The only thing I'm struggling with on the OP3 is the google keyboard. On the S4 I got so used to having the swedish characters "åäö" right there on the keyboard layout showing by default and on the Oxygen/Marshmallow keyboard they aren't showing no matter what I try (so far).
I've switched to Swedish (QWERTY) and tried Swiftkey and downloading the Swedish language .... and all kinds of options, but no matter what I try I cant get åäö to show on any keyboard. Having to long press and selecting the accented chars probably don't take that much extra time to be honest, but it feels like it's massively slowing down the tempo when typing and it bothers me to no end.
First world problems right? Still, the saying teaching old dogs new tricks is there for a reason.
Is there any way to show international or in my case Swedish characters in the keyboard layout?
I know this isn't a OP3 specific issue or question but I hope it's ok to ask it in here anyways.
