							International Keyboards
AAppendix
International keyboards let you type text in many different languages, including Asian languages 
and languages that are written from right to left.
Adding and removing keyboards
To type text in different languages on iPod touch, you use different keyboards. By default, only 
the keyboard for the language you’ve set is available. To make keyboards for other languages 
available, use Keyboard settings. For a list of supported keyboards, go to www.apple.com/
ipodtouch/specs.html.

Remove a keyboard:  Go to Settings > General > International > Keyboards, then tap Edit. Tap  
next to the keyboard you want to remove, then tap Delete.
Edit your keyboard list:  Go to Settings > General > International > Keyboards. Tap Edit, then  
drag

Typing using Stroke ( Wubihua)
Use the keypad to build Chinese characters using up to five strokes in the correct writing 
sequence: horizontal, vertical, left falling, right falling, and hook. For example, the Chinese 
character 圈 (circle) should begin with the vertical stroke 丨.
As you type, suggested Chinese characters appear (the most commonly used characters appear

Drawing Chinese characters
When Simplified or Traditional Chinese handwriting formats are turned on, you can draw or write 
Chinese characters directly on the screen with your finger. As you write character strokes, iPod  touch 
recognizes them and shows matching characters in a list, with the closest match at the top. When 
you choose a character, its likely follow-on characters appear in the list as additional choices.
Touchpad
Some complex characters, such as 鱲 (part of the name for the Hong Kong International 
Airport), �� (elevator), and 㗎 (particle used in Cantonese), can be typed by writing two or more 
component characters in sequence. Tap the character to replace the characters you typed.
Roman characters are also recognized.
