Personalising the on-screen keyboard
When entering text using the on-screen keyboard, you can access keyboard and
other text input settings that help you, for example, to set options for writing
languages, text prediction and correction. You can get word suggestions for one
language at a time by deactivating the Smart language detection feature.
The keyboard can use text that you have written in messaging and other applications
to learn your writing style. There is also a Personalisation guide that runs you through
the most basic settings to get you started quickly. You can select to use other
keyboards and switch between keyboards. For example, you can select the Xperia™
Chinese keyboard or the Xperia™ Japanese keyboard.
