How do I switch between languages? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want English to remain my default language.
But sometimes I have to type in Chinese. How do I switch between languages on the keyboard without going all the way into settings and changing it from there?

Go into language and input settings. Check the keyboard you want to use.
When you go to type a notification will appear and you can change the keyboard from there.

The notification only comes up when I hold down the spacebar and the default language has to be English. If I have a Japanese keyboard and I want to switch back to English, i have to go through settings all over again.

If you have a keyboard up, there should be a choice to change keyboards from the notification bar.

HOW to disable T9 in Touchpal...???

HEllo can somebody help me...?
I have install the program Touchpal by my HTC diamond...
But Im turkish en dutch and I have install the dutch language pack but now I can't type in turkish... I will Disable the T9 but there is nothing to turn off the T9 in touchpal...
Can somebody help me please....???
don't know what you mean, but if you install the language pack for TouchPal you shouldn't be having that kind of problem. i don't think T9can be disabled in TouchPal because it's built into it and I've never seen an option to disable it. go to CooTek.com and ask in the forum there maybe they can solve your problem.
You can turn of T9 by going into the options tab, and uncheck "disable word prediction"
Slide downward on the first 'tab' ("abc") and you will see the various languages you've installed there. Pick the one you want, i.e. Turkish or Dutch. Then do the same when you wish to switch to another language.
To me it just sounds weird...
You've installed touchpal but dont want the T9 functionality?
You may as well just use a normal keyboard/keypad?
Even the diamond keyboard (from this forum) has a layout called "Compact Qwerty" which is the Touchpal layout, you might as well use that? Theres a "ABC/T9" button on the keyboard.
There is an option "Enable mixed language input". I checked it and know i can type in english and dutch without changing the dictionary. Hope it helps.
Of course you can disable t9 in TouchPal O_O slide up the "Enter" key. This toggles predictive input.
Thanks It's done i have disable the T9 thanks a lot ....
Toggling T9 mode
Slide the "spacebar" left or right to toggle T9 on/off. Enjoy!

Change language button on the on screen keyboard?

Is there any way to have it?
I'm using both English and Arabic languages & would like to implement such button instead of changing the language from the regular options arrow.
& no, I wouldn't like using other keyboards than the one that comes with the Leo.

[Q] Input language

I rooted my kindle fire and the only thing that is missing is a keyboard in my language. I did the trick to change the input language on the stock keyboard but it doesn't have the Greek language. I installed a different keyboard but I cannot find.how to.change the keyboard. Is there a way to change the keyboard or install my language to the.stock keyboard? Thank you.
you can change the input language on the stock keyboard allthrough the options are not displayed in settings:
there is a app called "any cut" on the market
in any cut you can select new shortcut - activity - and select input languages or so - can't tell exactly cause mine is german
then you have a shortcut on kf and you can select your language
btw. with playing around with the activities you'll find some other settings too (accounts and settings, ...)
maybe you want to take a look here too:

Install a kbd with your language (Swift and anysoft both have Greek). Then long press in any text entry box. A popup will show. Select 'Input method' and then choose your new kbd. It will then default to the new kbd.

Words underlines in red since update to lollipop

Since I updated to lollipop, every word I type that isn't typed in English is underlined in red. This is really annoying since I usually type in Dutch. My phone language is English though. Is there an easy solution for this problem? Can I switch this feature off in some way?
Same problem

Hey, I registered just to give you an answer. I have the same exact problem, only I don't type usually in Dutch but in Serbian. My phone language is also English. I'm on Lollipop, I9505.
I found out a way to stop this spell check, and it's only possible, as it seems to me, to change your phone language. I've changed it from English to Serbian, even though I don't like it that way, and underlining has stopped. I thought that it would start to underline English typed words, but it didn't. So, if you consider that an easy and acceptable solution, there you go. I'm still looking for a way to use my phone in English and type in Serbian without that red underlining, just like I used to do before on KitKat. It doesn't make sense to have to change phone language when this is a problem that is related to keyboard settings. If someone knows how to fix this without changing phone language I'd love to know a way to do that.
Hi!
I have the very same problem as I speak with my friends in 4 different languages. After a lot of search I found the solution to completely disable the red underlining: selecting "Alphabet" (QUERTY) as your keyboard language, as I describe below:
1 Download the "Google Keyboard" app from the google Play
2 Go to keyboard settings - in lollypop it is under Settings > My device > Language and Input
3 Enter into "Google Keyboard" to show the google keyboard settings, and then go into "Languages"
4 Disable "Use system language" and ONLY enable "Alphabet (QUERTY)" from the list of languages (you will probably find it between Afrikaans and Arabic)
5 Go back again to Settings > My device > Language and Input, enter "Default" and select "Alphabet (QWERTY)" as default
VoilĂ !

Hey, thanks! That is a fine solution, but only if I wish to use Google keyboard without predictive text and auto replace options since they are gone when selecting "Alphabet (QWERTY)".
I'm quite used to Samsung keyboard and I like having text prediction and auto replace, so I'm still looking for a solution in terms of switching off that annoying spell check but with using Samsung keyboard. :fingers-crossed:
If anyone's still looking for a fix, there's a way - just do the factory reset and the red underlining will be gone. I just did.
