I was trying to find the full list of the languages where QuickPath (Swipe) is supported. Here it is:

https://www.apple.com/ios/feature-availability/#quicktype-ke...

Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Vietnamese.

IMO, here’s a lot of room for improvement for German, because it’s a real dice roll whether a compound noun will be recognised or not. You can try swiping the components individually, but then you have to go deleting spaces everywhere. Unless there’s a feature I’m missing?

This is the sort of thing I think someone would have found a better solution for if more languages (and possibly English in particular) had non-spaced compound nouns.
