Google releases new update for Gboard, 22 Indic languages added

Google just released Gboard’s latest update with added 22 Indic languages with transliteration support—including Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Marathi, Tamil, Urdu and Gujarati. Google also dropped in a new text editing tool that makes it easier to select, copy and paste, plus new options for resizing and repositioning the keyboard so it fits users’ hand and texting style. Also, the latest Gboard update also comes with under-the-hood improvements for better accuracy and predictions while you type. 

This list has all 11 Indic languages currently supported in the Google Indic Keyboard, plus 11 more languages, such as Urdu and Maithili. In addition to supporting each language’s native scripts, Gboard includes the QWERTY layout for transliteration, which lets users spell words phonetically.

Gboard also comes with Google Search and Google Translate. Gboard also has a Hinglish language option for those of you who often switch back and forth between Hindi and English.

Besides new languages, Gboard now comes with a new text editing mode with buttons for easy cursor control and the ability to select text, cut, copy, and paste right from your keyboard. Now users can resize the keyboard and move it to a position that feels the most comfortable.
