That would be different for each language then, because each language has its own predictability rules. That would be a nightmare both for them, but also for the user who occasionally also types in english.

I think it might be mission impossible with heavily inflected languages (such as those of the Slavic family). It would take some really advanced AI to get those right. An alternative is to offer (typically more than a dozen) different endings for each word, which would erode its usability.
