Personalising the on-screen keyboard

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

keyboards and switch between keyboards. For example, you can select the Xperia™
Chinese keyboard or the Xperia™ Japanese keyboard.
