Google Android Keyboard for a new language

[Microbadiah]

Good day great minds.
What are the steps involve to add new language on Android Keyboard?

 

[Windroid]

Which Android keyboard? There's Gbord, Yanxex Keyboard, and Microsoft SwiftKey, just to name a few.

Swiftkey is easy to put in a new language, and so does gbord as well.

Ok thank you for all your efforts, rapid and beautiful answers and replies.
To clear my doubt, what are the necessary steps involved to add new languages to all these online open sources?

The exact steps will depend on which keyboard you're using. Which brings me back to my original question: Which keyboard are you using? If you don't know, then it's probably Gbord. That's the default keyboard on most Android distributions.

Thank you for your answers.

Am using Gboard
But my question is how to add a new language keyboard to the Gboard or Microsoft Swiftkey Keyboard.

Thank you

The language I want to add is not on the list

Make certain your swiftkey is using the latest rev. You can check by going to the play store and tapping on the app.
I looked but could not find a means to add a language to swiftkey's list. I might not have dug deeply enough. If you can't find a means to add the desired language, you might be forced to use a different keyboard app. I suggest doing a search for keyboard and desired language to see if one is recommended.
