Feature description
Would it be possible for the app to allow users to type in different languages simultaneously? Back when I used more proprietary software on my phone, I remember the default Android keyboard that shipped with my phone allowing me to type in up to three different languages and auto-correct/spell-check my words simultaneously.
Why do you want this feature?
I grew up speaking two languages (Spanish and Catalan) and I also need English to browser the internet. Moreover, as a foreigner living in a country that requieres me to use another language that isn't my native one (German) makes me use up to four languages almost daily.
Additional information
As far as I remember, the keyboard I used back then was the official Android keyboard that Google ships with their system by default and looked like this:
Heliboard solves this issue by allowing to add different languages to a certain keyboard. You can see here they called it multilingual typing:
Fossify Keyboard allows you to select multiple keyboard layouts in the settings. You can then quickly change between the selected layouts by clicking the globe icon. Would that work for your use case?
I am in the same situation, Catalan and Spanish, and English online. I switch around layouts, but sometimes my text is mixed with Spanish, Catalan and English words. I'd like to mever have to switch around.

Technically yes. I could change everyime between languages, but it's not very practical to change every 15 to 30 min between languages to just write a couple of sentences...
