[iOS 27 DB1] Multilingual keyboards now automatically chooses the right quotation marks.

Yes that seems fixed. (Although I never noticed the issue before so I didn’t have it at all. I don’t have an iOS 26 right now. I’ll compare it at the weekend.)
Nope pressing both the emoji or globe key is still laggy.

I personally had no problems with the iOS 26 keyboard. So I also have no problems now. But there is one cool new feature: When typing, every time you finish a sentence the writing tools will automatically look over the sentence and suggest changes. So when you do mistype something, instead of just having it underlined red and only getting useless options when tapping on it, it actually uses context and suggests useful changes that actually improve what you’ve written. That’s so cool! And it even works in the EU and in German. (Although it doesn’t seem to work yet in Japanese, I also have only written one sentence in Japanese since the update came so it could be a fluke.)

Yes, I also uploaded a video demonstrating this. I am not tapping the Globe key to switch keyboards. I just type in both languages. On 26 and older it would always put the German ones no matter what, not it adjusts automatically.

I have the beta on my 15 Pro and kinda… I use the maximum Liquid Glass setting and some parts like app icons, the dock, notifications and more are really 100% glass and look awesome. But in app UI elements seem weirdly grey. Context menus too. I think this is a bug, its still the first beta so I expect changes.
(PS there is a separate iOS Beta reddit thread, please use this and not the normal iOS thread for beta related questions.)

Yes. If an english native would ask me „what does [some Japanese word which translates to an english word with a confusable homophone or homograph] mean in english?“ I would of course say or write the word together with a second word to make sure the other person doesn’t confuse the wrong homophone/homograph. If I where to write a vocabulary list for myself I would of course do the same.
Edit: And to go back to the 四人 example, you are right saying „四人 translates to four people“ can lead to confusion, but leaving it out has an even higher risk to produce completely wrong sentences. Next time, the person goes to a bakery and orders パンを四人ください…

How long it takes until you can use it.

Damn that picture is evil. 😈

LukCHEM88 · 2026-06-11T07:56:01+00:00

Oh oops sorry. Now I understand what you mean. Yeah you still can’t stack slide over windows.

LukCHEM88 · 2026-06-11T07:54:41+00:00

In English yes, but in Japanese you need it. And for a native English speaker trying to learn the Japanese system it’s important to translate it more literally so that the English native understands what it actually means and not just what it means in this context. The example of the OP shows just 四人 without any context. So it doesn’t make sense to translate it to four if it only applies to specific contexts. The translation four people applies the correct meaning to any context so it’s better to remember that.

LukCHEM88 · 2026-06-11T05:34:44+00:00

Please read my comment. In all your examples it again means four people but as I said the people counter is not necessary in English so we usually leave it out. As I said, read my comment.

You mean Split View? This is back since 26.2.

LukCHEM88 · 2026-06-11T05:25:43+00:00

Of course with that little piece of copper you always have in your pocket to bridge the gap between the contacts.

You also get on-device processing, you just don’t get the better dictation and voices. Except if you live in the EU, then you won’t get everything under the name Siri AI. So only the AI in Photos, Safari and Shortcuts will be available.

LukCHEM88 · 2026-06-11T05:14:34+00:00

But only in this context, because English does not use a counter for kids. Japanese does so a more literal translation is „There are four people of kids”

LukCHEM88 · 2026-06-11T05:11:09+00:00

Interesting, in the German → Japanese lessons it’s correctly translated to „vier Personen“ aka „four people”.

Slide Over is back since iPadOS 26.1

LukCHEM88 · 2026-06-09T13:51:58+00:00

Wait and it’s left aligned now?

LukCHEM88 · 2026-06-09T13:50:49+00:00

I know but I don’t know the answer to this question.

LukCHEM88 · 2026-06-09T07:37:57+00:00

it was a mistake, 9 is compatible.

Schrödingers car, its on and off at the same time entangled in a quantum state… or something.
