Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

There are a lot of dialects like Lithuanian present(2 mil people) but Ukrainnian(40 mil people) not, please add it with symbols (і, І, ї, Ї, ґ, Ґ, є, Є ). This will be very useful for a lot of people!

Scenario when this would be used?

Enter "ы" in Russian, press space, and choose "і" in Ukrainian. And this logic for rest symbols: ї, Ї, ґ, Ґ, є, Є

Supporting information

Guys, this is a very useful feature, I was searching for it for the last 5 years, but now it's not working for a very big nation, probably because it's Kirrilyc, idk. But I am dreaming about this feature, it will help about 40 million people because half of the Ukrainians speak Ukrainian and half of Russian, but all can speak both and need to switch languages all the time. Thank you!
