Afrikaans predictive text

[Drifter]

Is there a predictive text app for Afrikaans that can be installed on a Android phone (Google Nexus 4)?

Try SwiftKey keyboard, it can predict three languages simultaneously, including Afrikaans.

I've owned both keyboards since they launched and I'm currently using Swype. Both have had their ups and downs, but imo Swype is currently the superior option.

Can Swype also predict three languages simultaneously, like SwiftKey Flow?

Not simultaneously, but long press space-bar shows pop-up to select the appropriate dictionary.

Swype can handle two simultaneous languages, incl Afrikaans. Does anyone really need more than that?

Will just not cut it for me.

When it failed to suggest apostrophes ex: cant wont, I uninstalled. Predictions are far inferior even with about 8 to 10 suggestions vs 3 for SwiftKey. Some smses I only have to type a word here and there, the rest is suggested. Works well for business use when things are somewhat repetitive.
