Typing in Latin-based languages
Many languages use the Latin alphabet; however, there are three keyboard layouts that use the Latin alphabet on your
BlackBerry device. If you have set up more than one input, it is important to know that the keyboard layout may change.
The QWERTY keyboard layout is used by many languages; it is not confined to a single geographic area. Certain languages
may have slight variations to the available keys or symbols, but the basic keyboard is the same. QWERTY keyboard layout is
used for American English, European English, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Italian, Polish, Brazilian, Portuguese, Romanian,
Spanish, Catalan, Galician, Basque, and Vietnamese input.
The QWERTZ keyboard layout is used for German, Czech, and Hungarian input.

The AZERTY keyboard layout is used for French input.
The QWERTY, QWERTZ, and AZERTY keyboard layouts using the Latin alphabets have different alternate characters
depending on the language select. For example, in French, if you tap and hold the letter A, the prediction menu menu
displays additional accented variations of the letter A. In Romanian, if you tap and hold the letter S, the prediction menu
appears with ß amongst the options.Experiment with the keyboard to reveal the keys that contain alternate characters.
