I have tried a few private keyboards, but none of them had the possibility to have one layout (Qwerty) with two correction languages (English and French). Any suggestions?

FlorisBoard is by far the best of all open source keyboards I’ve tried.

Have they added spell check yet? I love it, but I need a keyboard that can spellchwck and autocorrect…

I’m leaving that typo in there to make my point.

When I enable the spellchecker systemwide, it says “unknown / null” in the spellchecker settings. So I’m guessing not. I never use any spellchecker myself so I wouldn’t know if there is something else to install.

I guess not: there is a big red box in the settings saying “Suggestions (except autofill) are not available in this release”.

How good is the autocorrect on it? I tried it a while back and it was very very bad compared to Gboard, so I had to switch back? Has it improved at all these days (past year), or is there perhaps some way to improve it? That’s the only thing keeping me on Gboard.

AnySoftKeyboard is flexible enough for bilingual (or trilingual or +) use. For qwerty with french, you have to choose Canadian French 🤷

i installed open board for a monolingual friend who uses azerty

I tried that one. You have to manually switch between the languages to get the corresponding autocorrect. I need a multilingual qwerty keyboard
