Why do I get a pound sign instead of dollar
RespondidaI have speech set to uk. But the keyboard setup is English Australia. So why don't I get a dollar on the keyboard. It's very frustrating to have to type in the word dollar every time. . I don't the stupid £ sign.
Hello,
The currency symbol does not depend on keyboard language but your phone system language.

Dear Swiftkey developers,
This issue is quite frustrating for me. Been using beta for a while but there's no solution yet. :(
I'm in Singapore, Singapore uses UK English but our currency is in $.
Hi there,
To insert a currency symbol, all you need to do is to long-press on "x" key then slide to the one you need, or in "123" page, long-press on the "£" key and also slide to the one you need. I'm afraid this is the solution for now because we do not have English (Singapore).
At the same time, you're welcome to submit a request by following this post.

This issue still exist after all these years! Please add function to fix a currency symbol permanently or add a language for English (Singapore) thanks!
The solution to this is over here >> https://support.swiftkey.com/hc/en-us/articles/201591941-My-currency-key-on-the-home-keyboard-does-not-match-my-language-layout-selection-
That's not a solution, it's a lack of a solution.
Not every Android handset allows the user to specify a Locale in such a way that SwiftKey will display the appropriate currency symbol.
So to use that as the basis for the default symbol instead of the language pack the user installs for SwiftKey itself (or at least have an option to override it) is utterly perverse.
The problem still persists. I'm a user in Australia
I switched from Galaxy s7 to xiaomi and have the same issue. Xiaomi doesn't have English (Ireland) as an option of system language. The nearest is English (UK), that why default currency sign is £ but not €.
In fact there is only 3 English speaking countries listed - UK, US, India.
While it's obvious phone manufacturer's issue, SwiftKey could have developed a fix to override this setting..
Hope one day...
