[FEATURE REQUEST] Allow Multi language input without changing layout. #38

I write in spanish and english frequently. In Gboard and florisboard you can use the same keyboard layout (spanish for example) to write in multiple languages and get corrections and suggestions for both or more languages. Currently in FUTO keyboard if I want to write something in english while on the spanish layout it will auto-correct the words to spanish. I imagine that this could be fixed adding a function to reference multiple language dictionaries at the same time. Not necessarily linked to the current layout. This is probably possible through the dictionary override feature, but it would be better if I could choose to add another of the existing language dictionaries directly from within the app. Cheers!

This is really important for people who text in different languages. Switching keyboard layouts takes too much time and breaks focus.

On the gboard keyboard it is possible to choose one layout and have the prediction, spell check, and swipe typing work for all installed languages (that have the latin alphabet).
