Japanese keyboard nearly unusable: anyone else?
I have English, Chinese, Japanese and German enabled. I find the keyboard in general rather laggy for me, but nothing unbearable. The exception is Japanese, which I am virtually unable to use, both because of extreme lag and because the keyboard can't seem to handle simple phrases or words and will stop showing suggestions.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is it an issue with the Japanese keyboard itself, or is it because SwiftKey is becoming overwhelmed by having to make predictions in four languages simultaneously? If it is the latter, would it be possible to switch off this function and switch languages manually? I understand that this is a vital function for many people, but I personally don't need to type in all four languages at once.
Thanks very much! :)
+1, I have the same issue. This is really annoying for me as well. The thing is, this is predominant since beta phase for Japanese input.
I have the same issue. I'm using German, Chinese (Taiwan) and Japanese and the suggestions for Chinese and Japanese are just useless if there are any at all. It's very frustrating when you want to write something but you have to search several minutes for the right Kanji since the keyboard just doesn't seem to know even basic words. It's the same with the chinese keyboard. Often even simple words are not suggested when you type in the pinyin.
I have the same issue. I downloaded simeji and it works quite well. I will use simeji until the text recognition is getting better for the Japanese keyboard .
Hi, i am having the same issue. Did the support team get back about this? I'd rather not use swiftkey if this problem persist because my previous Sony phone keyboard was perfect.
Everything was ok till I started using Chinese keyboard. Now I cannot use Japanese keyboard because it doesn't propose any kanjis.
After latest update Japanese input is so slow as to be useless
I have the same problem. It seems to be caused by using the Chinese and Japanese keyboard at once. There must be a serious bug about it. It's been known for a long time now and still no fix...
I got the same issue, it's too slow anf I can't even write a sentence without lagging.
