Spanish keyboard won't switch to english

Hi All,
My friend asked me if there was a way to get the keyboard on his Motorola Driod to go back into English mode. From what I understand, the rest of the phone still understands English, it's just his keyboard that is in Spanish. He has had the phone for a while now and did not change anything according to his knowledge, and the phone originally had an English keyboard. Any ideas??

FYI, it's a Droid 1 that he bought refurbished from Verizon.

I want to purchase a Macbook Pro overseas for the keyboard layout and set the OS to English, but if I do so, would the keyboard layout also switch to English? Can I set the foreign layout as default?

I would assume that changing the default keyboard so that I can use the proper corresponding one is possible, but I would just like to make sure before I buy one.
Thanks in advance.

How do I switch through the English and Spanish keyboards on my ipod touch while I am typing instead of stopping and going into settings?

I went into settings and added the Spanish keyboard on to my ipod touch. But here's the thing. If I have the keyboard in English, while I am typing I can't use any Spanish because it wants to correct all my words and turn them into English words, and this happens vice versa when typing in Spanish and it makes corrections in English. When I type I am constantly switching back and forth between Spanish and English. Is there any way to change the keyboard language while I am at the typing screen? For example on my Samsung Galaxy 4g, all I have to do when I want to switch languages is swipe my finger on the space bar key from left to right. That way I don't have to stop writing, go into the phone settings and find the language and switch it, slowing me down considerably because I would have to stop every few minutes. Is there no way to do something like this on my ipod touch??

Use the Globe key. Hold it down and you will get a list, or just hit it to switch.
The Globe key should appear if you have more than one keyboard chosen in settings.

I am English but live in Spain, When I got my new Macbook Pro I set the language to English, so far so good. Then I stupidly set the keyboard to British when it is obviously a Spanish keyboard. How can I reset it to Spanish. Sorry cant find question mark

LizMaddock,
you can reset the input source to Spanish by selecting the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, selecting the Input Sources tab, and pressing the “+” button in the lower-left corner to select one of the Spanish input sources. The “Spanish – ISO” input source is most similar to the physical Spanish keyboard layout.

Yosemite kill french keyboard and switch to english

Hi,
I am on Yosemite system.
The keyboard is switched to english each time I switch off and on my imac ( 2011). I generally see it when trying to surf and I can't enter some of my passwords because of the qwerty keyboard.
So basically when I go to the preferences and then to keyboard options, french keyboard disappeared and I have to manually add it again each time I am opening my imac.
As I am french it's highly annoying to have to change each time this way.
It was working perfectly before updating to yosemite.
Any idea to fix this ?
All the best for this new year starting :-).

Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Can a French keyboard be switched to English

Can a MacBook Air with a French keyboard be switched to an English keyboard?

Unfortunately, switching either the keyboard or the language (Settings>General>International>Language) to French has no effect on the content of the generic dictionary that you reach by double-tapping a word in, for example, iBooks, Safari or the email. Oddly, though, if you change the language to French and the dictionary does not find a definition of a word you tap, the panel that offers you Wikipedia or Google is in French. Is it possible that people in France are stuck with an English-language dictionary, even as the iPad2 itself is using French?

IPhone keyboard won't let me type the word "fixes"

When I try to type the word "fixes", the iPhone (3G, with iPhone OS 2.2) keyboard won't let me type the word "fixes". If I hold down my finger for the last letter, and move it left and right, I can see that it is refusing to allow "S" to be typed. It switches between "A" and "D".
I have seen other examples of this in the past, where the keyboard simply refuses to type some letters, but never on a common English word before.
Has anyone found a way around this, other than accepting the wrong letter, backspacing, and re-typing?
Cheers,
Will.

All this time, I thought it was me...I couldn't for the life of me type my daughter's name, Caitlin, into the phone. I would always get C-A-I-R-L-I-N. Again, thought it was just me not being able to hit that key right, though I don't really have a problem with anything else. Then this weekend, I finally tried to force the phone to type it right by trying to slide my finger to the "T", and it was completely skipped over. I went back and forth from "R" to "Y" several times. Nope, the "T" refused to be typed. Now that I know it's a confirmed bug, I feel a little bit better about my iPhone typing skills.

Characters typing as Spanish keyboard

This is quite baffling...
I just installed CS6, and trying to type &, instead shows /, etc. Then I figured it was typing as a Spanish keyboard setting, although all my pc settings (control panel, etc.) are English.
Any ideas? Thanks for looking.

If the keyboard is in the middle of the screen tap the tiny keyboard then slide your finger up to dock. If the screen isn't scrolling try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.

PS Elements 6 for Mac - Spanish keyboard shortcuts

A colleague uses a Spanish (SORT) keyboard on his Mac and cannot work out how to expand and contract the brush in PS ELements 6 (normally "[" and "]" on a US/UK keyboard, but a complete mystery on a Spanish one).
Is there a resource which shows exactly where PSE keyboard shortcuts are on various international keyboards?
PSE6 - Mac - Spanish keyboard.

Thanks, Barbara. I couldn't find it in your book (which I treasure), but I will pass that on to my amigo. He'll have to chop to the English keyboard for when he wants to work in PSE. I think that should be easy enough. Thanks again, Geoff

Keyboard layout keeps switching after 10.9.4 upgrade

After the recommended upgrade to Maverick 10.9.4, all of us in my group have the problem that the keyboard layout keeps switching every time a new Word document is opened (and possibly on a number of other occasions).
We have MacBookPros 2011, 2012, 2013, all regretting having upgraded to OsX 10.9.4. As per instructions, mine's a Retina late 2013 and got a 2.8 GhZ i7 with 8GB 1600MHz DDR3, 500GB SSD - no performance issues!
There have been two discussion threads as far as I can see; none with a solution.
"Fixing" the keyboard to a single one is not an option for polyglot people like us who actually need several keyboard layouts.
I have fed back to Apple as recommended weeks ago, but to no avail so far.
This persistent problem is driving all of us mad. Does no one on this list have any answers? Surely there's some setting somewhere that turned a perfectly well working system (10.9.3) into one that's costing us tens of minutes every single day (10.9.4)?
Thanks in advance,
Alexander

There is a box that no one had mentioned...
System Preferences---> Keyboard---> Input Source---> Uncheck the "Automatically switch to a document's input source. The input source is used until the document is closed."
kafetzou... You may want to delete the Turkish keyboard so that the English is on top of the list. Then re-add the Turkish keyboard, this will make it under the English. Though I don't know if this will help your problem, or the box that I mentioned above.

My wireless keyboard won't pair with my computer

help, my wireless keyboard won't pair with my computer. the green light blinks and it won't sync during the pairing process.

Did it pair earlier??
I just lost my Wireless kbd Bluetooth connection twice recently. And found the following solution:
1. Delete the kbd from Bluetooth system prefs.
2. Shut down the kbd
3. In system prefs, keyboard choose "Configure Bluetooth keyboard..." at the bottom
4. Press the power button on the kbd until the green LED blinks, kbd gets detected
5. Switch OFF the kbd
6. Click "Continue"
7. Power on the kbd as described in 4.
8. Kbd gets paired, enter the digit code and Enter
9. Go to system prefs, Bluetooth and add the kbd as a favorite
That did it for me. Hope it works for you, too.

Switching to english web pages for EntMan: setting NLS_LANG not enough?

When I currently launch on a certain computer the Soa Suite start page in IntExp web browser, then
all the text is in german.
How can I switch to english text?
I thought and read in this forum that I have to set the environment variable:
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
I already set this variable but it didn't help. The web page text is still in german.
What else do I have to do to get english text?
Peter

I think you can do that by switching the language settings in the language/keyboard settings under windows.

Shortcut in Spanish Keyboard

Hi all, does anyone know how to increase/decrease size of adjustment brush in a Spanish keyboard?
I know the short cut is ] / [ but in a Spanish keyboard to write down does symbols you have to press alt++ and alt+` and that doesn't work as increase/decrease brush size in LR2.
I forgot to say i use MacOS X

why this keyboard shortcut is not customizable
Good question – and an old one for users with non-english keyboards.
I think there was a thread in the old Feature Request Forum, but you may want to check
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/products/photoshop_family_photoshop
if there is a current one that you could add your support to or start a new one.
Instead of an Action a Script should also work, but as I use a non-english keyboard, too, I can’t record the ScriptListener-code and performing the task via the Document Object Model might take noticably longer with documents that have very many layers.

Change to spanish keyboard. Possible?

I'm thinking about getting one of those refurbished Macbooks. They seem like a really good deal. Howevre, I was wondering if there's any way to change the keyboard from English to Spanish?
Some months ago my wife took her iBook to a genius bar. SHe needed her keyboard replaced because it was decoloured. Will I be able to do the same? Just take it into a store and have them order a spanish keyboard for my macbook? if so, does anyone know how much that would cost?
Thank you very much in advance to anyone who can help me with this. If I don't have to pay a premium price because of the keyboard alone, I will be a VERY happy man!

Might be useful to know that I just bought a MacBook in Bangkok and they took off the English/Thai keys and put on just English ones! They just prise them off and click the new ones on. They did it in about an hour. So far, none of them fell off!
No apparent damage to the key surrounds either. If Apple make Spanish keys, then it should be a matter of someone helpful putting them on for you...
