https://techcrunch.com/2018/03/06/googles-keyboard-app-gboard-now-works-in-chinese-korean-and-more/ >Despite declining consumer interest in third-party keyboard apps, Google is continuing to develop Gboard, its alternative keyboard app for mobile devices. Today, it’s greatly expanding Gboard reach, with the addition of 20 more languages – including, notably, traditional and simplified Chinese as well as Korean. The new languages are arriving first on the Gboard app for Android. >The expansion follows yesterday’s news of the integration of Google search into iMessage through a new iMessage app extension. Combined with Gboard’s now broader reach, and various other updates that more tightly integrate Google search with Safari on iOS and more, it’s clear that Google is currently focused on making its search engine more accessible to mobile users, including those who may not have its Search app installed, or who don’t always think to use it.
