Autocomplete that actually works for languages like Russian

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.
