How to selectively enable autocorrect based on language?

I just found a great solution for this problem: Install Gboard which is Google board and it's English. It has autocorrect and also Swype which is great.

Edit your keywords in settings/ general/keyboards Delete the English keyboard Add Gboard Disable auto correct Result: auto correction for English and English only.

Gboard also has emoji search

There is no possibility to turn on autocorrect for one language on the keyboard but not on another. There is the setting "Check spelling that only underlines 'incorrect' words, but does not change it. I like to use that feature, as I am also bilingual. When that feature is on, you can first type your text and then tap the underlines one by one and then pick the suggestion you want.

If you want to jailbreak your iPad, then you could install a tweak called 'ManualCorrect' that only changes the word to the suggestion when you tap it.
