Gboard: Did you know that most of the words in the vocabulary of an educated English speaker are loanwords from Greek? Hundreds of scientific, medical and engineering terms are rooted in Greek. Examples are: Physics, photography, microscope, telephone, biology, zoology – and these words are part of almost all European languages.
Σήμερα, παρουσιάζουμε σε όλους τους Έλληνες χρήστες που χρησιμοποιούν το ελληνικό πληκτρολόγιο αλλά και στους ενθουσιώδεις με την Ελληνική γλώσσα, την υποστήριξη των Greeklish στο Gboard, ένα πληκτρολόγιο της Google για την device σας. Το Gboard, σας παρέχει όλα όσα περιμένατε από ένα εξαιρετικό πληκτρολόγιο – GIFs, emojis and Glide Typing (drawing the word without lifting your finger) – with Google Search integrated.
The Greek alphabet, consisting of 24 letters, is one of the most fascinating alphabets, at least for me :) I remember that about 15 years ago, the only option I had in writing messages was to use the Latin keyboard (abc-…), as it was difficult to enter Greek characters
(a B C-…). As a result, Greek keyboard users, like me, have become accustomed to typing Greek words on a Latin keyboard - a way of writing known as "Greeklish".
You can try it by following these steps:
1. First, select the "Greek (abc -> Greek)" keyboard from the Gboard menu on your Android device.
2. Open an application that allows you to type and then press or hold the icon once to select the "Greek (abc -> Greek)" keyboard.
3. Once the model comes down, you'll be ready to start using the new keyboard! You can type in either Glide (by drawing the word without lifting your finger).
Tap

We believe this new keyboard will help users continue to write in the Greek language, keeping our culture and language in the digital world.
Gbox for Android is renewed at regular intervals with support for new languages and tools, as we work to achieve our vision of creating intelligent engines for faster text input, auto-completion and word prediction in Appliances mobile phones - in whatever language you choose.
