If you are using multiple languages on your system, sometimes the typing in different languages and managing them could be a challenge. Thanks to the Multilingual Text Suggestions feature available in Windows, which is designed to make your typing easier with multiple languages. In this guide, we’ll see how you can enable Multilingual Text Suggestions in Windows 11/10.

When you’ve Multilingual Text Suggestions enabled, you do not have to manually switch the language anymore with the touch keyboard if you type in more than one Latin script languages. You can continue typing in multiple languages and Windows will assist you by showing predictions from multiple languages to make you more productive. Earlier, the extra step of manually switching between languages was challenging for users that are multi-lingual. Microsoft introduced the Multilingual Text Suggestions feature in Windows 10 to overcome those challenges and allow you to easily type in multiple languages. This feature is also continued with Windows 11.

So basically Windows supports up to three Latin script languages for multi-lingual text predictions. It picks the top three installed languages from Language Settings while suggesting predictions.
