Typing Chinese characters on iPad keyboard

How can I type Chinese using the iPad keyboard and how to switch between English and Chinese?

I'm referring the Keyboard dock, not the built-in keyboard on iPad.
You still need to use the Settings to select the Chinese keyboard layout. There is a separate section for hardware keyboards, where you can further choose us, french, german (depending on whether your physical keyboard is qwerty, azerty, or qwertz).
Are you having some problem after doing that? Are you familiar with how normal pinyin input works?

Why the user experience on Bluetooth keyboard of iPad is different on keyboard of MacBook, especially when typing Chinese characters?

I am a Chinese in Taiwan, and I use a input method call "Changjei" (倉頡) to input chinese character. And thank for "Yahoo Kimo Input Method" found in Macbook Pro, so that I can use this method as same as typing in Windows PC. When I use bluetooth keyboard connect to iPad mini, it has "Changjei" input method also, but the user experience is different than typing in MacBook Pro! I often type the wrong word when typing in iPad, because some words need additional space key to avoid selection ( when selection appear usually need additional number key for selection ). Usually every chinese character only need one space key for confirm, and in iPad, some Chinese characters need two space key(this will cause problem), and others need one as usual. It slow me down greatly, and is not a smoothly and freely experience when expressing my idea by typing in iPad, and I often distract by these misleading situation when typing.

Typing Spanish characters with English keyboard

I have both British and Spanish language inputs on International from System Preferences so I can switch between them.
This constrains me to use the character palette.
Does anyone know the keystrokes for accented vowels in Spanish, using English keyboard?
...as in á, é, í, ó, ú and ü
Thanks in advance

Yes, this feature does exist still in Mac OS X.
To activate this feature, do the following:
1. Open System Preferences.
2. Choose the International Preference Pane.
3. Click the Inputs tab.
4. Check the Character Palette.
5. You will notice a flag appear in your status bar next to your battery Life.
6. Click the flag, and select Show Character Palette.
7. From there you can choose the characters you want.
If you have any questions or don't understand something, feel free to post!

Plz help: can i type Chinese using Apple wireless keyboard????

Kind of struggling whether should i buy a wireless keyboard for my ipad air 2 as i may have lotta word job related to Chinese and French, and i know that French is okay with the English keyboard, at least much eaiser than typing Chinese characters.
So the real concern is, can i type Chinese with the wireless keyboard without any problem?
I've seen some solutions (all didn't mention if it has been proved yet or not so i automatically assume they are all just beautiful hypotheses) posted in the community claiming you just need go to settings then select the international language you wanna use, and you will be all set (in both virtual and external keyboard)----is that true??? Pleeeease help, thousands of thanks

Hi Chloe Violette,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to use the Apple Wireless Keyboard with English letters to type characters in different languages. This can be done by changing the import sources to type in other languages, including Chinese. For information on this process, please refer to the attached article.

Is there a way to use proper mainland chinese characters on an ipad instead of the apple variants?

I have been learning Chinese at University, and I bought an iPad to help my studies and I have found that Apple for the international keyboard has variants for many different chinese characters. Why is this and is there a way to use the chinese characters that 1.6 billn people use rather than the Apple variants? Will Apple be addressing this at all?

No, The simple and traditional are fine, but when typing in simplified there choices for say, 将 or 骨 are different from both Simplified and Traditional entirely. If I had copied Apple's characters in tests I would have lost grades. I've never seen it happen on another operating system and unfortunatley Microsoft beats Apple in this field; hence why I call them Apple variants. I'm not the only one who has see this problem. The only way to get what I would call authentic chinese characters is with the method that is stated above. I found this solution in the thread titled "Chinese characters misrepresented". There are screen shots there too. I would love to find out how/why Apple chose this system for chinese.

In Pages for iPad, I couldn't wrap text(Chinese characters) around the image

Hi, a question about Pages for iPad. I wrote some words with Chinese characters and then inserted a image from the Camera Roll. The problem is that I couldn't wrap words around the photo. I tried again wrote some words in English and it's ok for wrapping. Why did this happen?

From the help section in the Pages app ....
Anchor or free an object to or from its surrounding text:
Select the object, tap in the toolbar, and then tap Arrange.
In the Arrange window, tap Wrap.
To make an object move with the flow of text, slide “Move with Text” to ON.To make an object remain stationary, unaffected by changes in the surrounding text flow, slide “Move with Text” to OFF.
Drag the Extra Space slider to indicate how much space you want to leave between the object and the surrounding text.
Wrap text around an object:
Select the object and tap in the toolbar, and then tap Arrange.
In the Arrange window, tap Wrap.
Tap a wrap option to select it.Automatic optimizes text wrap for you, depending on the size and position of the object, and the width of the text column. Text wraps around an object, unless there’s very little space around the sides, in which case the text flows only above and below the object. Around lets you customize the text wrap around the sides, without automatic optimization. Above and Below allows text lines only above and below the object.
Drag the Extra Space slider to indicate how much space you want to leave between the object and the surrounding text.
This works for me. Restart your iPad if this does not work for you.

IPad Emails received in Outlook with Garbled Simplified Chinese Characters

My iPad users sent emails to Outlook(2003,2007) users but Simplified Chinese characters are all not readable!
The same email sent from Motorola smartphone has no such issue.
I report the case to Apple support on Nov. 3 and heard nothing until now.

Hi all, sorry for opening an old thread.. I also experience the same issues. Does anyone know whether this problem have been resolved?
If you are having the same issue, the answer is "no". You could try to switch the OS language to Chinese and see if that makes a difference. The iPad has no way to select the encoding of outgoing messages, any adjustment necessary has to be made at the other end.

Lots of WIFI needs a username and password to get access. I guess you're lucky and yours is set up unsecured.
Normal secured WiFi requires only a password to get access. The password is used to encrypt traffic between your device and the WiFi access point. If whatever you are using requires a username as well then it is not simply normal secured WiFi. It might be a subscription WiFi service like GOGO, ATT, etc., or a service with authentication, i.e., college campus, etc. To help you out we need to know what you are using and what connection dialog you are being presented with. You don't have exactly the same problem as the original poster. He is having a problem entering a password into the password dialog that iOS presents when one tries to connect to a normal secured WiFi network. Could you clarify exactly which WiFi service you are using.

Missing key preview when typing characters in IPad After iOS7 upgrade

How can I enable the key preview when typing characters in Ipad?
After I upgraded my Ipad mini to IOS 7, the preview when hitting keys are not showing anymore.
Its so difficult especially when typing passwords wherein you wouldnt be able to know if you are hitting the right character.

Two things that might help. Reset all your settings and reset the phone. Use the Settings app to reset all settings. Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that helps.
The update to iOS 7 added several new features and turned them all on. There are numerous suggestions for reducing battery life by turning off unneeded features. Go through Settings and turn off things you do not need or use. Especially look at Notifications, Push notices, Background App Refresh.

How can I change the Chinese characters back to English appear on the bottom icons after clicking the App Store icon on the iPad? It was in English before I upgrade to iOS5.

Is the address on your account based in France ? The language of the stores should reflect the language of the country where your account is based, which isn't necessarily the same language as you've set on the device.
If your account isn't based in a French spealing country, then try logging out of the account (via Settings > Store) and then log back in (and also make sure that your address is correct and complete), and see if the language of the iTunes and App Store the reflect the language of the country where your account is based.

Ipad keyboard repeats typed charachters

when typing using the ipad keyboard , for example if i search using the safari search box it will repeat the typed charachters and therefore I am unable to use the typing function properly. I have tried looking in the settings for 'repeat' or something and nothing helps. I assume it is a software issue with the interface of the touch screen and the keyboard programming. Maybe it's time for Apple to update the ipad software to fix this A.S.A.P. Any ideas anyone?? thanks.

If you come back to to read this .... Closing apps
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
As far as moving apps to the next screen....
Move the wiggling app slowly to the side of the screen and just hold the icon over on the edge for a second or two - don't try to force that icon over - just hold the icon about halfway over to the next screen - and then the app should jump to the next screen.
