To enable languages: Settings > Languages & Layouts. It might just take a bit of usage for all the corrections and suggestions to kick in.
To switch languages or keyboards: Long press the space bar.
If you haven't enabled number row in Preferences, just long press Q to get 1.

The power of Heliboard, and the reason it got me to abandon Gboard where others failed, is in the last two.
Hope that helps - I am still new to Heliboard (but I am already sold on it) and a power user might have better insight but that might be enough to get you going. If not, ask away.
Thank you!
Is it just me, or did the underlining switch from red to blue?
Just you. Or, at least, not me.
The language setting still doesn't work. It changes the layout, but not the dictionary. I've been using it for a week now and still nearly every english word is underlined as wrong.
Have you tried downloading the relevant dictionary? If so, can you give a screenshot of what it looks like when you long press the space bar, as seen in the second screenshot m
Ah, thanks. No I didn't download an additional dictionary. I downloaded the en_uk one now and loaded it by long-pressing on the language. It still doesn't know half the words. I'll try restarting the phone.
Just give it half an hour or so of usage. When I got it up and running, I thought it wasn't working properly but it was either learning or just getting bedded in as it just seemed to kick in and has worked smoothly since.
