Your languages
Flikzi types 23 languages, and each one runs on your phone:
| Language | How you type |
|---|---|
| English, Español, Português (Brasil), Português (Portugal), Français, Deutsch, Italiano, Nederlands, Svenska, Dansk, Norsk bokmål, Suomi, Polski, Türkçe | Letters. Hold a letter for its accents: your language’s own come first. |
| Bahasa Melayu, Bahasa Indonesia | Letters. |
| Tiếng Việt | Telex. Vietnamese |
| Русский, Українська | Cyrillic keys. Russian and Ukrainian |
| 简体中文, 繁體中文 | Pinyin. Chinese pinyin |
| 日本語 | Romaji. Japanese |
| 한국어 | Hangul keys. Korean |
Switch languages on
Open Flikzi and go to Languages. The languages that are on are listed first; tap More languages for the rest. Languages your phone uses start on. The last language that’s on can’t be switched off.
Switch between them
- Flick the left space key up to go back to the language you used before. The key shows the one you’re typing in: EN, ES, РУ, 中, あ, 한 and so on.
- Flick up and keep holding to open a picker of every language that’s on. Slide to one and lift.
You can switch in the middle of a sentence. Flikzi remembers your language between apps.
Autocorrect with more than one language
With two or more languages on that use the same keys (say English and Spanish), autocorrect checks all of them. A word that’s right in any of them is left alone, and suggestions come from all of them. The language you’re typing in comes first; a language you’ve used in the last few words moves up.
To leave a language out, turn it off under Autocorrect languages. That section appears once two or more of your languages share keys.
Malay, Indonesian, Vietnamese and Ukrainian have small word lists for now. They suggest words and predict the next one, but they don’t autocorrect.
Accents and special letters
Hold a letter and slide right past its corner mark. Your language’s letters come first: German gets ä on a, Polish ą, Turkish ç ğ ı ş. Hold ? for ¿ and ! for ¡. In Turkish, flicking i up types İ. Symbols and accents
