Assign Keyboards to contacts

[mitchdrum29]

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if there exists an app or tweak that would allow me to assign a specific keyboard language to each of my contacts.
As a bilingual user, I find it really annoying to have to switch keyboards manually every time I talk to my French-speaking friends or switch back to English later.
An app or add-on like that would be a godsend for me, preferably without needing to root. (Having words autocorrect to their nearest English equivalent can be pretty awkward at times...)

I used to have Tasker change my input method (choose a keyboard) using the Secure Settings plugin, but it required root. If you are rooted you could do this, if you had some way of identifying which contact you were communicating with, and what your preferred language is for that contact. I don't think it's possible without root though.

You might want to take a look at SwiftKey keyboard - it allows you to have multiple languages active at once, so in theory you could switch between English and French just by typing English or French words, and not changing any settings at all.
