Use international keyboards

International keyboards let you type text in many different languages, including Asian languages and languages written from right to left. For a list of supported keyboards, go to www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html.

To enter text in a different language, switch keyboards.

You can also just tap the switch keyboard button. When you tap the switch keyboard button, the name of the newly activated keyboard appears briefly. Continue tapping to access other enabled keyboards.

Many keyboards provide letters, numbers, and symbols that aren’t visible on the keyboard.

When using certain Chinese or Japanese keyboards, you can create a shortcut for word and input pairs. The shortcut is added to your personal dictionary. When you type a shortcut while using a supported keyboard, the paired word or input is substituted for the shortcut.
