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 use 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 28-4.

3. Type something, and when you’re ready to switch to another language, tap the International key again until the keyboard you want appears.

Note

The virtual keyboard also includes a Chinese character recognition ...
