66 Keyboard Entering words with predictive text The onscreen keyboard has predictive text to help you type quickly and accurately. Predictive text input is enabled by default, and word suggestions are displayed as you type. To enter a word in predictive mode, do any of the following:  If you see the word you want highlighted in green or orange, you can simply tap the space bar to insert the word into your text.  If you see the word you want shown in the suggestions before you have finished typing the entire word, tap the word to insert it into your text.  If an arrow is shown to the right of the suggestion list, tap the arrow to see more suggestions. Enabling predictive text for a second language Aside from the keyboard language you are currently using, you can set the predictive text to be bilingual. As you type, you'll get word suggestions in two languages that you've selected. 1. From the Home screen, press MENU, and tap Settings > Language & keyboard > Touch Input. If you've set the onscreen keyboard to support multiple languages, you can quickly access the Touch Input settings by tapping the Language key ( if you're using the English onscreen keyboard), and then tapping Settings. See "Enabling multiple keyboard languages." 2. Tap Bilingual prediction, and then choose the language you want. Adding a word to the predictive text dictionary Your phone comes with a list of words that it references for predictive text suggestions. Sometimes you may need to add a word to the predictive text dictionary, for example a name or a specialized technical word. While entering text using the QWERTY keyboard layout, if you tap any word on the suggestion list, it is automatically added to the predictive text dictionary if it was not in the dictionary already. You can also add a word to the list manually: 1. From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings > Language & keyboard > Touch Input. 2. Tap Personal dictionary > Edit personal dictionary > Add new. 3. Enter the word to add, and then tap OK.
