Operation Manual

When using certain Chinese or Japanese keyboards, you can create a dictionary

of word and input pairs. When you type a word from the dictionary while using a

supported keyboard, the associated input is substituted for the word. The dictionary is

available for the following keyboards:

Chinese - Simplied (Pinyin) Â

Chinese - Traditional (Pinyin) Â

Chinese - Traditional (Zhuyin) Â

Japanese (Romaji) Â

Japanese (Ten Key) Â

Add a word to the dictionary: In Settings, choose General > Keyboard > Edit User

Dictionary. Tap +, tap the Word eld and enter the word, then tap the Yomi, Pinyin, or

Zhuyin eld and enter the input.

You can have multiple inputs for each word, depending on the keyboards you’ve

turned on.

Delete a word from the dictionary: Tap the word in the User Dictionary list, then tap

Delete Word.

Keyboard Layouts

You can use Settings to set the keyboard layouts for software and hardware keyboards.

The available layouts depend on the keyboard language.

Select a keyboard layout: In Settings, choose General > Keyboard > International

Keyboards, then select a keyboard. For each language, you can make separate

selections for both the onscreen software and any external hardware keyboards.

The software keyboard layout determines the layout of the keyboard on the

iPod touch screen. The hardware keyboard layout determines the layout of an Apple

Wireless Keyboard connected to iPod touch.

Using an Apple Wireless Keyboard

For ease of typing, you can use an Apple Wireless Keyboard (available separately;

iPod touch 3rd generation or later).

The Apple Wireless Keyboard connects via Bluetooth, so you must pair the keyboard

with iPod touch. See “Pairing a Bluetooth Device with iPod touch” on page 42.

Once the keyboard is paired with iPod touch, it connects whenever the keyboard

is within range (up to 30 feet). You can tell that the keyboard is connected if the

onscreen keyboard doesn’t appear when you tap in a text eld.

Switch the language when using a hardware keyboard: Press and hold the

Command key, then tap the space bar to display a list of available languages. Tap the

space bar again to choose a dierent language.
