How to change the keyboard (layout) from Russian to English and vice versa
To enter text data, the user may need not only the Russian alphabet, but also the English alphabet. It is where Internet addresses are entered; some symbols and other data are needed. Methods for changing the language on Samsung will depend on the installed on-screen keyboard and the Android OS version:
- At the bottom of the on-screen keyboard (lower left corner) there is an icon in the shape of a globe. Clicking it once switches the alphabet. To return to the usual input, tap on the icon again.
- Using the "Space" sign. To change the layout, swipe the space bar to the right or left. Such a movement will change the entered characters to English or a menu will appear in which you need to select the required item. In addition, in this item you can select different options for the virtual keyboard: from standard to extended (with a set of special characters).
In the smartphone firmware update field, the usual method of changing may become unavailable. In this case, you need to use the second method. One of these will always do. The reverse switching is performed using the same algorithm.
