Multiple multilingual layouts
What would you like?
I use (at least) 5 languages daily. Switching between 5 layouts is a pain.
“Multilingual” mode supports 2 simultaneous languages. I would like multiple “multilingual” layouts at the same time that I can cycle through.
Why it would help
Drastically reduce the amount of switching from language to language, and makes typing more convenient.
One more thing
Would love to use the app but something this “small” and niche is actually a very big deal for me and other weirdos like me. Would love to see it fixed and start using it properly (and then I would buy the Pro version if I can manage to switch from stock!)

Is there a keyboard on iOS that does what you want? I haven't seen it anywhere yet. But theoretically it's not a problem, I just have to figure it out well in the UI.
Funnily enough - the stock one
You can set up as many combinations of two languages with same alphabet as you wish, and even choose which keyboard layout you pick for each. Then, you just cycle through them.
And you can have different alphabets as standalones!
… which would be great if the stock keyboard wouldn’t suck for so many reasons and this message alone wouldn’t have involved so many corrections
The problem is that stock doesn't have RAM limitations like all 3rd keyboards. But I'll look into it and do my best. What IPhone do you have?

many thanks
@culottalopez multilingual allowed only one pair because of the memory limit iOS gives keyboards, so a second pair wasn't possible. In 2.2, the next App Store update, multilingual takes several pairs plus single languages, up to 5 in total: in Settings › Language tap "Make a pair…" (e.g. German + Italian) and each pair gets its own card. The globe or a sideways swipe on the spacebar then goes EN ES → DE IT → HE, and only the pair you're on is loaded.
Thank you! Looking forward to it
