Changing the keyboard layout

You can use Settings to set the keyboard layouts for software and hardware keyboards. The available layouts depend on the keyboard language.

Select a keyboard layout: Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > International Keyboards, select a keyboard, and choose a layout.

For each language, you can choose different layouts for the onscreen software and any external hardware keyboards. The software keyboard layout determines the layout of the keyboard on the iPod touch screen. The hardware keyboard layout determines the layout of an Apple Wireless Keyboard connected to iPod touch.
