I have both Greek and English selected on my Note 3 but I can't switch between the two at all. Swiping the spacebar does nothing and there's no globe button. The only way I can use the Greek keyboard is if Greek is the only input language selected. Then to switch back to English, I'll have to uncheck Greek and check English again. If both are selected, only English is shown on my keyboard..... I can't find a way to switch between them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I had the same situation and the reason was the greenify when you enable it says something about notification settings change and then the space bar switch between the two language dissappear! If you remove the greenify and reboot then everything is OK. I hope I helped you....

What firmware are you on? Are you rooted?
Here is how the Samsung keyboard looks for me inside the Samsung SMS app on firmware MJ7 (4.3) + the hack to enable extended symbols. In the Samsung keyboard there seems to no longer be an option to switch languages when you swipe over space (and I also use swiping as input method) but you can see a small button in the bottom-left (just to the right of the SYM key) and when you short-press on that I switch languages. The "swipe over space" option is still present in other keyboards and might be even a hidden option for the Samsung keyboard (but you might need root).

The only other idea that I have is to long-press on space. And eventually on the button that is two places left from space - after a long-press you might get to see a list and the button like a globe is the one that switches between languages.
Also check what other version you have on English and Greek after the > sign in settings - that part is not present in my firmware so extra settings might be there.
Also the language availability might depend on the app itself - so also do a test in the Samsung default SMS app.

When I use the Physical Keyboard it randomly inserts periods. I'm running the latest build of Cyanogen but it's been doing it on older donut builds...thoughts?
It's meant to add a space when you press the space bar twice. Go to Settings > Locale and text > Device keyboard and uncheck auto-punctuate.
If it's not that then it could be an issue with the HTC IME activating when it's not meant to.

After updating to 4.2 I went to check out the new gesture typing feature.
Unfortunately, when I went to a text box to try it out, nothing happened.
I've checked to make sure that it is enabled in the settings. I've also cleared the keyboard data & cache.
Anyone else have this problem?
bump
Just realised, if I create another user account on the tablet. Gesture typing works on that account.
However, I still cant get it to work on the main 'owner' account.
Has no-one else had this problem when they updated?

Okay, I am going to start from the beginning, if you have done any of this already, sorry for repeating it.
First, you need to have the setting enabled so go to Settings - Language & Input - Android keyboard settings icon.
Under there under Gesture typing, check enable gesture typing.
In whatever program you want to use gesture typing, bring up the keyboard like normal, go to the notification window.
Select choose input method and switch it to android keyboard (if it isn't already default).
It should switch keyboards (again if android keyboard wasn't already default), now you can have fun playing with the new keyboard.
I think it only works if your language is US English. Might be wrong though.

In the keyboard setting add the correct additional dictionary for your language. In my case the Swedish and it works.

Might be a stupid question, but where do you find the Swedish add-on dictionary? The only Nordic dictionary I've got access to, is the Norwegian and I need the Danish.
Edit: Never mind, it appeared after a refresh of the list.
Just found a solution.
If you change the language, and then change it back, it works.
Hope this helps anyone else with the same problem.

I got this problem, on English gesture typing works, but on Dutch (my native language) it doesnt work.. all settings enabled, tried to diable English, than still no gesture on Dutch..
Any ideas?
Sv: Gesture Typing Not Working
At first only US English works, but all languages on a second account, but after a while it works for other languages.
Maybe it needs some kind of dictionary first, to work.
Otherwise try Kii Keyboard, it has gesture input and is really customizable. (Looks like stock)

Toro here, an updated flash of gapps did the trick after all else failed for me. Apparently, the added feature of the gesture typing belongs to Google. Not sure if this helps, I lost the gesture after I flashed to 4.3.

In deed! I think it's belong to Google! I updated to 4.3 and Gesture Typing is not working...
me too! I just updated to CM10.2 and gesture typing doesn't work even if I change ENG/ITA languages...
gesture typing in some language not working
First of all you need the google keyboard. In my case I had english as the main language of the os, but wanted to use dutch, german and french as well. I found that Dutch didn't have gesture typing.
If you have that and you find your language is not gesture enabled and you're sure you've set it correctly (see previous posts). Change the system language to the language you need and wait a bit (you should have an internet connection). Some additional stuff will be downloaded. Then try if gesture typing in that language is working. If so, problem solved! set system back to original language and gesture typing should still work in the other language.
I had this same issue after flashing a custom Lollipop ROM onto my device and couldn't get gesture typing to work no matter what I tried, until I found a solution that worked for me:
My ROM came with a keyboard called "Android Keyboard (AOSP)" which looks exactly like the Google keyboard and has all the same settings for gesture typing etc. except that gesture typing didn't work. When I installed the actual "Google Keyboard" app from Google Play and set that as my default keyboard, gesture typing started working!
So if you can't get it to work, make sure you have the real Google Keyboard app from Google Play installed, there seems to be a difference between that and the one that ships with the ROM.
almost the same problem here!
Hi, a few days ago I´ve revert from CM12 to CM11, I formated /system /data /everything! And gesture typing not worked anymore (before upgrading to CM12 it was working on CM11 M12). No matter what language I select gesture typing does not work.
Then get back to Stock, full stock! Then I rooted, blah blah, and installed CM again. And NOTHING!
Any idea?

Thanks a lot! You solved it for me! In my case I installed a Cyanogenmod ROM plus a Google Apps package from opengapps.org which is called "Pico - The bare minimum to get Google Play functionality.". Apparently the gesture "Google Keyboard" was not part of this package and thanks to you I just installed it and it works now.
I have a Note 3 and suddenly out of nothing the keyboard changed template and instead changing languages by long pressing+sliding the space bar it now shows a globe icon wich must be pressed to select the language.
I have already messed with all possible settings in order to go back to the space bar method wich is much faster with no success.
I know it worked on the space bar way until a few days ago, and I see there was a Samsung Keyboard Update wich was installed.
Have someone here the same issue ? Anyone knows if it is possible to go back to the previous behavior ?
Thanks for any help on this.
Me too having same problem
I actually got the swipe for different language. but all of a sudden the globe appeared. i seriously dont know what i did. tried resetting keyboard settings. nothing works. thebutton takes spaceand irritating while typing.
Same here, it working fine. but suddenly have globe icon and everything mess up... then few days lster, keyboard suddenly back to normal and everything is fine again. This happened couple times and each time it last few days. Anyone know why and how to solve this permanently? Thanks for your help. ..

OK! But...
I have 7 apps in accessibility list... And I DO want to use at least 4 of them...
Wristn - forwarding notifications to Sony SmartWatch
LastPass - filling passwords inside apps
NiLS Service - collect notifications in lock screen similar to iPhone
Desktop Notifications - forward notifications to browser plugins for Chrome and Firefox for displaying it at desktop
if I enable any of them, spacebar disables language switch function
I solved the issue by deactivating the Speed+ engine under Accessibility

Select two or more language and be sure that you saved and selected the languages, then in keyboard slide your finger on the space button either left or right to select the next language selected in your settings.
Hit "Thanks button" if this helped you.

There is a problem with your firmware .
Your firmware is damaged! You better update our flash a new firmware.
Its a problem with accessibility options. If you have installed greenify for example will cause this problem. Try removing any apps from accessibility or use another keyboard.

In Swiftkey you can't select a language anymore because it does it automatically.
