Microsoft provides different
language selections for the Windows Phone 8 keyboard. The language that
you choose affects the appearance of the soft keyboard, as well as the
words that are suggested as you type. You can also remove languages
from your phone, switch between installed languages, and more.
Setting the Keyboard Language
The keyboard defaults to using the language
that you specified when you initially set up the phone, but you can add
support for additional languages. You can also change the keyboard’s
language. You can configure the keyboard language by going to the
Settings screen and completing these steps:
1. Scroll to and then tap the Keyboard option.
2. Tap Add Keyboards.
3. Tap the check boxes for the languages that you want to add.
4. Tap the Done icon.
Switching Between Multiple Keyboard Languages
When multiple keyboard languages are
enabled, the onscreen keyboard defaults to using the language that you
specified first. However, you can toggle between keyboard languages on
the fly by tapping the language key.
