Other languages for Android Keyboard?

So I've tried Android Keyboard as well as Samsung's and GO keyboard, but I like Android Keyboard the best. Is there a way to hit a single button (or a button and a choose from a pop-up, either way a "simple method") to use other languages with Android Keyboard? I've been googling this for days and everything I've found was people saying "yeah this works but it's meh." So if anyone knows a language input for Android Keyboard more like what I described above, let me know
I'm looking for Chinese and Japanese in particular.

You try sogou input method

I use slide it. You use the swipe method or touch. I use a dvorak layout for my keyboard which is basically another language. There is a dedicated button for switching back and forth between whichever languages you have installed.

Sogou was 100% in Japanese/Chinese so I have no idea how to use it and the pics didn't look like a keyboard plugin
Swipe is awful imo :/ I prefer to just type. If anyone knows any good swype keyboard that's actually really good, I'll try that too but I just want a Japanese and/or Chinese (Simplified) plugin for Android keyboard

is there any korean too?

Well, there are hands of Chinese/English keyboard developed by Chinese company. Unfortunately few of them offer enough downloading/handling support.

[Q] Keyboard dictionaries - Custom languages and autocorrect suggestions modification

These are questions about the stock android keyboard (using jelly bean 4.2 keyboard):
1. How can I modify the language files to create a custom language (for example, I want to stop switching back and forth between languages and have a "SPANGLISH" (english and spanish) hybrid dictionary that auto suggests and corrects at least semi-decently when I switch languages 2 or 3 times per sentence without having to switch the keyboard language back and forth so often... Right now what I do is have both english and spanish with auto correction, and a third language option that doesn't auto correct my typing (but still annoyingly underlines the supposedly misspelled words). Ideally, I want to type my spanglish and have android be cool with it and correct misspelled words. Possible now as is, or would some new coding be required?
2. Can I train or modify the word suggestions in the android keyboard standard languages? I notice a few fairly annoying things like when I type in US ENGLISH the word "dont" (without an apostrophe), autocorrect changes the word to "DONT" (upper case, no apostrophe). Why would it think that when the all upper case DONT is not in any custom dictionary either.
3. Finally, and a little unrelated perhaps but just getting all my keyboard annoyances out of the way... Is there any way to get the stock keyboard to expand text (like auto-text in blackberry).. Such as typing "ttyt" gets replaced by "talk to you tomorrow".. ?
Have searched everywhere on xda and other forums and engines and haven't really found an answer.. but maybe I'm just not looking for the right keywords.. Am willing to get my hands dirty about this if nothing easy and readily available exists if someone can please point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Nobody? A lead, a hint?

[Q] MIUI V5 Keyboard mod

Hello guys,
I am using the MIUI V5 Rom since 4 days and I am very happy of it. Very fast, very stable, only minor issues (like Facebook app doesn't connect) but I'm getting frustrated with the Keyboard.
I love the layout and the colors of the Sogou Input Keyboard included in MIUI, but unfortunately, there is no language pack of any kind for it. I can live without word prediction, auto-filling etc. but I cannot live without special characters like "è" "à" "ù" and so on (I am Italian).
After trying many keyboards the one that feels almost like that one is A.I. Keyboard, but, I want the MIUI one!
So here's my request: is it possibile to include special characters in the MIUI Keyboard? How it can be done? I would do it myself, but I don't even know where to start.
Please give some advice.
Thank you!

There is a keyboard called TouchPal keyboard that has a skin of MIUI you should try it, is very good

Thank you, I have tried it and it is a very good keyboard. Now I'm sticking on a mod of AOSP keyboard that is very iPhone style, but quite good.

[Q] Multi-language keyboard without toggle?

Hi -
I use Swiftkey on a regular basis as that was always the only keyboard that could keep up with the way I type, however since they got rid of the "rapid typing" feature with version 4.0 I've been looking for other options.
I use two languages interchangeably (english and spanish) and have always liked how Swiftkey allowed me to type in either language without having to toggle to that particular language, either through a dedicated key (EN or SP) or by sliding my thumb across the space bar, both of which I find annoying. But I haven't been able to find another keyboard that let's me use either language "on the fly" - is there a decent one out there? I feel like I've tried them all.

Other languages on MM

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows of any edits (rooted) I can make that would allow the stock MM (6.0.1) to give me all available languages rather than just the stock? I'm looking to add Japanese to my list of languages -- system wide that is, not just input -- but no matter what I do, it only gives me the stock languages. I've tried More Locale which doesn't release the languages to me and Language Enabler. I would love the native Japanese system language and well, the option to use any language I want.
EDIT: Deleting and changing the language.xml in System/csc doesn't work for me either.
Thanks
