Enabling multiple keyboard languages

If there are multiple keyboard languages available on your phone, you can choose which languages to enable in the onscreen keyboard so that you can switch to these languages and use them to enter text.

1.On the onscreen keyboard, tap the Language key (for example,

tap if you’re currently using the English onscreen keyboard). Then on the International keyboard options menu, tap Settings.

If tapping the Language key doesn’t display the International keyboard menu, press HOME > MENU, and tap Settings > Language & keyboard > Touch Input.

2.Tap International keyboard.

3.Choose the languages that you want.

Available languages depend on the region where you purchased the phone.

When entering text, you can choose to use the landscape orientation of the onscreen keyboard. Turn your phone sideways to use a larger keyboard for easy typing.

 The Auto-rotate screen check box in HOME > MENU > Settings > Display needs to be selected for the screen orientation to automatically change.

The landscape orientation keyboard is not supported in all apps.
