So what language then? Stating just "non-English" isn't as informative.
For the record: Swipe isn't supported for Norwegian language as of Sep 24, 2014. I checked the keyboard settings and the feature is simply not available. What's more, Microsoft has a history of doing an extremely bad job with at least the Scandinavian languages, possibly a lot of other non-US-relevant things as well. Literally *billions* have been spent in my country (Norway) alone just from 1960-1990-ish on the "problem" of handling the letters ?, ? and ?. Even today, I stumble upon US web sites that are unable to deal with them.
And it's not like all has been fine since the 90s. For instance, on my Surface text input is botched whether I use touch or a physical keyboard. I'm the kind of user who tries to write correctly, and it is incredibly annoying to have the machine actually introduce a ton of stupid mistakes when it supposedly "corrects" me. Some of the ideas they've implemented seem so stupid that it is difficult to believe. For instance, IE (both metro and desktop) will systematically convert input "next" to "NeXT", "apple" to "Apple", "office" to "Office", and so on. It also insists every "i" I write should be capitalized, even though this is a preposition (meaning "in") in Norwegian. I've turned off absolutely ALL autocorrection that I've managed to find anywhere in settings, but to no avail. This seems to be an IE-specific issue, not the OS itself, but with IE being the only browser available in metro mode it is nontheless annoying in the extreme. Much the same, by the way, can be said of how autocorrect works in Word/Outlook, though it occasionally seems to "understand" that what I am writing is Norwegian and then works reasonably well.
