Keyboard
input
methods
An input method enables you to type words or characters that are not available using the characters on
your keyboard layout. In some cases, input methods give you a phonetic approximation of a word based
on the keyboard layout you are using. Your device can then suggest a character or diacritic based on the
sound you choose.
In other cases, input methods provide you with gestures and key combinations for languages. Some
keyboard input methods are common to all supported languages, such as word prediction or selecting
accented characters by pressing and holding keys.
All keyboard input methods also support using 
 key to access symbols.
You can use your BlackBerry device in many different languages, regardless of the default language you select. However, the differences between the languages you use may mean that you need specific tips
to use your BlackBerry Keyboard with a language that is different than the default keyboard layout. For example, if you use a language that has more characters in the alphabet than the language that your
keyboard supports, you need to know how to access those additional characters.
Typing
in
other
languages
You can set your BlackBerry device to recognize three different input languages when you type. As you type, your device makes predictions based on each of the language families. For example, if you use a
Latin-based display language, predictions appear for any of the configured Latin-based languages.
Similarly, if your display language is Korean, it will not display Arabic or Latin-based suggestions. When
you set more than one typing language, you may need to consider the following:
t Some languages, such as Thai and Arabic, have more characters in the alphabet than there are keys on the keyboard. You need to use a keystroke combination to access the second or third character
on a particular key. For information about how to access these types of characters, see the help for typing in that language.
t Different languages may have different keyboard layouts. For example, American English uses a QWERTY keyboard layout, but French uses an AZERTY keyboard layout. Some keys appear inlocations that you may not be used to.
t Similar languages may have slightly different keyboard layouts. For example, many languages use a QWERTY keyboard layout. However, Danish, Spanish, and Romanian include different characters on
the basic keyboard that arenht on other QWERTY keyboard layouts.
SettingsUser Guide167 
						

							t Some supported languages, such as Hebrew, Farsi, and Arabic, read right-to-left. If you change toone of these languages from a left-to-right language in the middle of a sentence, your device
automatically places the characters you type on the left side of the cursor. When you change back to
the left-to-right language, you need to move your cursor back to the right side of the text.
Typing
in
Arabic
or
Farsi The Arabic and Farsi keyboard layouts support the following features:
t The Arabic language has more characters in the alphabet than there are keys on the keyboard. As a result, more than one native character appears on one key. There may be alternate letters that arerelated to a primary letter or have a similar form. You can use the keyboard mapping guide thatappears with the typing task to determine how to press and hold a letter or multi-press to access the
second and third characters on each key.
t The Farsi language has a few characters that are different from the basic Arabic alphabet. These characters are listed on the keyboard mapping guide.
t Word prediction and flicking word suggestions up onto the screen (if you have this feature turned on)
t You can type alternate characters and diacritics in two ways. You can press 
 and press a letter. A
second method is to press and hold the primary character. Then, select the alternate character from
the options.
t To type a symbol, tap 
. To view more symbols, tap  again.
