Autocomplete that actually works for languages like Russian
Posted by HimikoTogaFromUSSR@reddit | CrazyIdeas | View on Reddit | 9 comments
In Russian, my native language, there are many ways the same word can change its ending. I frequently get frustrated when I try to use the autocomplete function on my Android smartphone for Russian. Due to Russian words having many potential endings it's hard for the algorithm of autocomplete to correctly guess which ending a Russian word will have. It would be more helpful if autocomplete only gave me the root of each word, without trying to guess the entire word.

How am I supposed to commincate with people who don't know English?

One could ask the authorities or those who dare to invest in it..

You could probably pull it off by building foot pedals that you use like a keyboard. You'd have 16 different combinations of foot orientations, one for each type of conjugation. Or maybe some sort of straw that you blow in at different velocities.

Judging by lack of software support it is a crazy idea, sadly

Russian is my “heritage” language, and it always blows my mind that you can conjugate ANY word, including nouns, to use ANY form
