How can I get my iPhone to stop auto-correcting English words into Spanish when my keyboard is in English?
Apparently the autocorrect dictionary is all the languages for which you have keyboards installed, regardless of which keyboard you're using. Do you have a Spanish keyboard installed? If you do and you don't need it, uninstalling it should fix the problem. Otherwise, you'll just have to learn to spell in English 🙂
I'm guessing this would also be a thing on Android, but all my alternative keyboard layouts use different alphabets, so it doesn't come up.
How can I get it to stop auto-correction ‘Escocia’ (Scotland) to ‘Escocía’ (stung)?
Capitalisation should help it to know the difference, as should context. On the other hand, for all the cleverness underlying the autocorrect algorithms, I think they sometimes just want to duck with our heads

Yes, but it doesn’t happen with any other keyboard languages 🤔

Lufguss fact check is much quicker and less effort. 👍
Thanks for the answer, guess I’ll keep angering my amigos from Escocía.

Thanks, I couldn’t figure out why it looked wrong and my keyboard kept correcting it to ‘maquiavélico’ despite being in English.
