Using a Foreign-Language Virtual Keyboard

After you have defined one or more foreign-language virtual keyboards, you can switch to that foreign-language keyboard any time the virtual keyboard pops up, such as when typing an email message or a note in the Notes app.

To define a foreign-language keyboard, follow these steps:

  1. Run an app that displays the virtual keyboard, such as the Notes app.

  2. Tap the International key (it looks like a globe) that appears next to the spacebar. One of your foreign-language virtual keyboards appears, as shown in Figure 37-6.

    Tapping the International key (it looks like a globe) will display a new foreign-language keyboard.

  3. Type something, and when you're ready to switch back to a different foreign language, tap the International key again until your chosen foreign-language virtual keyboard appears.

Note

The virtual keyboard also includes a Chinese character recognition keyboard that lets you draw a character. Then the keyboard displays a list of similar characters so you can tap the one you want to type, as shown in Figure 37-7.

The virtual keyboard can recognize Chinese characters drawn with your finger.
