About typing input languages
You can set a typing input language to use when you type. The typing input language can be different from the display language. When you
set a typing input language, AutoText and other typing options change to the selected language. For example, you might use your
BlackBerry® device in French, but type messages in English.
When you set the typing input language, you also set whether your device uses the multi-tap or the SureType® input method.
If the typing input language is different from the display language, a rectangle with the abbreviated form of the current typing input language
appears in the list that appears when typing.
