For what it's worth the Android phone I have does handle this differently: there's an "international" keyboard that uses multiple selected languages at once without manual switching. And it guesses candidates based on previous words so for example "Will" can be completed with "you" and "ich" with German and English dictionaries even if the first word is ambiguous.

If a field had no context, it would fall back to the generic behaviour - per-c Rationale: you generally change layouts per contact, to write to someone in a different language. --------------------------------------------- This would require deeper functionality between the OSK and SDK / messaging app than we currently have - the proposal sounds good but not much to add from UX POV at this stage --------------------------------------------- In par with UX, moved to Wishlist for UITK.
