According to the SwiftKey Blog, the SwiftKey Keyboard Transliteration Feature will benefit Hindi and Gujarati speakers. The new update lets users type the mentioned languages without having to switch frequently between scripts.

The SwiftKey Keyboard can sense the language a user is type and then will show the word or phrase on the prediction bar. There is no need to change the settings because the app can understand Hindi and Gujarati.
"These new features are part of a general refresh to the SwiftKey Hub... making it easy for you to configure SwiftKey exactly the way you want it," said the SwiftKey team. This makes the SwiftKey Keyboard the ideal app for Android users not so keen on texting.
