Defining a Foreign-Language Keyboard

If you need to type in a foreign 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:

  1. From the Home screen, tap Settings. The Settings screen appears.

  2. Tap General. The General settings screen appears.

  3. Tap Keyboard. The Keyboard settings screen appears.

  4. Tap International Keyboards. The screen displays all the available virtual keyboards on your iPad. Initially, it will display just one language, as shown in Figure 37-4.

    The Keyboards screen gives you the option to choose additional foreign-language keyboards.
