Change the keyboard orientation
Turn the phone sideways or upright. The keyboard is redrawn to take
best advantage of the new phone orientation.

when you turn the phone. See Settings/ Display /Auto-rotate screen.
Change the keyboard language
Touch and hold the Period button (.) to open a small window with a set of
common symbols.

keyboard)”), the current keyboard language is displayed on the Space key and you can switch languages.
Working with menus
Touch and hold the Space key. Without lifting your finger, move it to
the left or right until the language you want appears in the center of
the small window above the Space key.
Lift your finger. If you have many languages available, you may have to
repeat these steps to find the language you want.
There are two kinds of Android menus: options and context menus.
Options menus Options menus contain tools that apply to the activities of the current screen or
application, not to any specific item on the screen.
Open option menu by pressing the Menu button.
Not all screens have options menu; if you press on a screen that has no option menu,
nothing happens. Some screens have more options menu items, that can fit in the
main menu; in that case touch More to open a menu for additional items.
Context menus
Context menus contain tools that apply to a specific item on the screen. You open a
context menu by touching & holding an item on the screen. Not all items have context
menus.
If you touch & hold an item that has no context menu, nothing happens.
