Language<\/span><\/h2>\n

Current language<\/span><\/h3>\n

Set the current language and layout of the keyboard. Note that some languages need a special font to be displayed correctly: georgian needs DejaVu font (you need a rooted phone to install it, read the procedure here<\/a> for instance), and Hebrew works only starting from Android 2.2 (or with DejaVu font).<\/p>\n

Language selection key<\/span><\/h3>\n

Select the languages available through the language key (displayed at the bottom left of the keyboard). Note that if you only use one language (e.g. English), you don’t need to select any language in this list; in that case, the language key will not be displayed at all, and you can use the “Language” option (above) to set the current language. Note that you can also use a swipe gesture (see below) to cycle through the languages you selected with this option. You can also use shift+space to switch language with the physical keyboard if you enabled the “Physical keyboard” option (see later).<\/p>\n

Download dictionary<\/span><\/h3>\n

Go to the Android Market to download dictionaries. Dictionaries are (free) separate applications, always called “… for Smart Keyboard”. After installing a dictionary, you may need to restart Smart Keyboard Pro (by using a task killer or by restarting your phone) before it is taken into account.<\/p>\n

Accents priority<\/span><\/h3>\n

This option gives priority to accented letters instead of the alt symbol written on the key, when doing a long press (so it’s not applicable to all languages). For instance if you use the french layout, by default a long press on “e” key will input a “3”, but if you enable this option, the “\u00e9” character will be selected by default. For Korean, this option replaces the old option “Korean numbers priority”.<\/p>\n

RTL suggestions<\/span><\/h3>\n

Uncheck this option if you see arabic or hebrew words with letters written from left to right in the suggestion bar. You may need to disable this option if you installed a custom ROM which fixed the RTL bug present in the normal version of Android.<\/p>\n

Force latin layout<\/span><\/h3>\n

This option can be used to always keep the same layout when using different languages (set in the “language selection key”), such as english and french. If you select “Default” in the list, the default layout will be used for the corresponding language, but if you choose something else, for instance “English”, a QWERTY layout will be used even when you switch to french language.<\/p>\n

Hebrew alt layout<\/span><\/h3>\n

If this option is enabled, the backspace key will be on the left side of the keyboard in Hebrew layout, otherwise it will be on the right side.<\/p>\n

Czech\/Slovak full layout<\/span><\/h3>\n

Enable this option to display an extra row with accented letters in Czech and Slovak layouts.<\/p>\n

Extended compact\/T9<\/span><\/h3>\n

If this option is enabled, a long press on keys in compact or T9 mode will display all the possible letters (only for English layout). For instance in T9 mode, a long press on “ABC” key will display “2 A B C” in the popup keyboard, instead of just “2”.<\/p>\n

General settings<\/span><\/h2>\n

Select skin<\/span><\/h3>\n

Change the keyboard skin. Note that in addition to the built-in keyboard skins, you can now install your own skins on the SD card (see this page<\/a> for more information on this feature).<\/p>\n

Portrait mode<\/span><\/h3>\n

Select the layout which is used when the phone is oriented in portrait (i.e. vertically). You can choose between:<\/p>\n
