Character guide for Latin-based languages
Many languages use the Latin alphabet; however, there are three keyboard layouts that use the Latin
alphabet on your BlackBerry device. If you set up more than one input language, note that the keyboard
layout may change.
The QWERTY keyboard layout is used by many languages; it's not confined to a single geographic area.
Certain languages may have slight variations to the available keys or symbols, but the basic keyboard is
the same. QWERTY keyboard layout is used for American English, European English, Czech, Danish,
Dutch, Italian, Polish, Brazilian, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, Catalan, Galician, Basque, and
Vietnamese input.
The basic QWERTY keyboard looks like this:
The QWERTZ keyboard layout is used for typing in German, Czech, and Hungarian.

The basic AZERTY keyboard looks like this:
The QWERTY, QWERTZ, and AZERTY keyboards using the Latin alphabets have different alternate
characters depending on the language you select. For example, in French, if you tap and hold the letter
A, the prediction menu displays accented characters for the letter A. In Romanian, if you tap and hold
the letter S, the prediction menu appears with ß among the options. Experiment with the BlackBerry
Keyboard to reveal the keys that contain alternate characters.
