A keyboard is described that determines, using a first decoder and based on a selection of keys of a graphical keyboard, text. Responsive to determining that a characteristic of the text satisfies a threshold, a model of the keyboard identifies the target language of the text, and determines whether the target language is different than a language associated with the first decoder. If the target language of the text is not different than the language associated with the first decoder, the keyboard outputs, for display, an indication of first candidate words determined by the first decoder from the text. If the target language of the text is different: the keyboard enables a second decoder, where a language associated with the second decoder matches the target language of the text, and outputs, for display, an indication of second candidate words determined by the second decoder from the text.
