Google’s Gboard adds support for more languages including Korean and Chinese

Google is expanding the language support of Gboard by adding 20 additional new languages. The keyboard app will add in the coming days both traditional and simplified Chinese as well as Korean. These new additions bring over 300 languages supported by Gboard and while there are thousands of languages spoken around the world, this update is said to cover 74 percent of the world’s population. Google has said they are also dedicated to bringing lesser-used languages into the app. An example is the African language Fulani, which didn’t have a written alphabet until the ‘90s. The company is working with the brothers who developed its character set.
