About typing input languages
You can set a typing input language to use when you type. The typing input language can be different from the display language. When you
set a typing input language, AutoText and other typing options change to the selected language. For example, you might use your
BlackBerry® device in French, but type messages in English.
When you set the typing input language, you also set whether your device uses the multi-tap or the SureType® input method.
If the typing input language is different from the display language, a rectangle with the abbreviated form of the current typing input language
appears in the list that appears when typing.
Change the typing input language
To perform this task, you must have more than one language on your BlackBerry® device. For more information, contact your wireless service
provider or administrator.
