Support for german language and layout

I realy like SwiftKey.

It is one of the best.

 

But.

I am not always typing in english somewhere on the internet, i also write texts. In german.

And for german. SwiftKey right out sucks.

It is the worst thing i ever saw.

 

1) It has not german layout at all.

Why not?

Your popover selection window is ... horrible ... compared to real keys.

 

Let me show:

 

This is from the Apple keyboard.

But your's simply refuses to offer the proper keys!

 

Can you please finally fix this?

 

2) As a crude workaround, you offer some horribly popover menu

Now, this can only be a workaround, it is not usable for someone writing in german!

But anyway, this thing is wrongly configured for German!

If you hover over an "a" you get the pop-up, but the next key up is again the "a"!

The "ä" which you are searching for is far to the right, you need to search it in a long list.

The fix is easy: Just set the "ä" as the first character shown above your finger, when you long press!

 

Cannot understand why this is still not fixed.

 

But please don't forget: The popover is only a workaround. We still need a proper german layout as shown above!
