Suddenly...SPANISH!

[XanRules]

Hey everyone, just converted from a Blackberry Tour and couldn't be happier.

Mostly.

My auto-correct when typing with the physical keyboard (not the virtual one, but the thing that actually slides out) is stuck in spanish. As a result, things like "you're" and "that's" aren't autocorrecting, and I keep seeing words I don't understand. :icon_eek:

Anyone have any idea
a. How I did this?
b. How to fix this?
c. How to prevent it from happening again?

My "locale" is set to English and I don't have the problem with the virtual keyboard.

Thanks!

...apparently this could have been caused by using my Blackberry charger.

Great.

Okay, how do I fix this?

From the home screen go to menu>settings>language and keyboard

The first option should be select locale. See if it says español.

And ya don't use your blackberry charger. Non stock chargers are known to cause a slew of issues.

Nope, it says "English."

That's odd. Have you tried a reboot?

Wait, you mean rebooting the phone actually does something on these!?

Like, battery pulls actually work!?

Let me test.

 

[spaz33g]

You dont need to do a batt pull unless its frozen up but yes you would be surprised how often a reboot will help. However UI it doesnt i may have found another solution. When using your virtual keyboard do you see a word on your space bar like this?

See how it says español over my spacebar? UI you seee That i can fix your prob.

I'm referring to the actual, physical keyboard, not the virtual on-screen one.
But yes, I have the "Espanol" over my virtual space bar. I can slide that to turn Spanish on or off.

 

[spaz33g]

Yes I know, the physical keyboard gets its cues from that language selection so sliding it to english will fix your issue. If you'd like I can also walk you through disabling that option to slide to change languages.

As soon as I revert to the physical keyboard, it changes back to Spanish.
Reboot didn't help. If "rebooting" is just turning it off and back on.

 

[spaz33g]

Yes that's what reboot refers to. Go back to settings and then language and keyboard and then multi touch keyboard and then input languages and uncheck spanish.
