If you need to type in a second language, your iPad lets you switch to virtual keyboards for different languages at the tap of a key. That way, you can type in English, switch temporarily to French, Spanish, or Chinese, and then switch back again to English.
Before you can type on a foreign-language keyboard, you have to define which foreign language to use. To define a foreign-language keyboard, follow these steps:
From the Home screen, tap Settings. The Settings screen appears.
Tap General. The General settings screen appears.
Tap International Keyboards. The screen displays all the available virtual keyboards on your iPad. Initially, it will display only the default language.
Tap Add New Keyboard. The Add New Keyboard screen appears, as shown in Figure 28-3.
Tap a foreign language. You’ll return to the Keyboards page. You can follow the same steps to add another language.
(Optional) Tap Edit on the keyboard page to rearrange or delete your keyboards. Just drag the three gray bars on the right to move each keyboard around. The first keyboard on this screen will be your default keyboard.
Press the Home button. The Home screen appears.
