Your languages
Flikzi types 23 languages, and each one runs on your phone. The keys and the gestures stay the same in all of them. Only the letters on the keys change.
| Language | How you type |
|---|---|
| English, Español, Português (Brasil), Português (Portugal), Français, Deutsch, Italiano, Nederlands, Svenska, Dansk, Norsk bokmål, Suomi, Polski, Türkçe, Bahasa Melayu, Bahasa Indonesia | QWERTY letters, with autocorrect and suggestions. Accents come with the words. |
| Tiếng Việt | The same letters; tones come with the words. Vietnamese |
| Русский, Українська | ЙЦУКЕН, as on a computer keyboard. Russian and Ukrainian |
| 简体中文, 繁體中文 | Pinyin, typed letter by letter. Chinese pinyin |
| 日本語 | Romaji, turned into kana and kanji. Japanese |
| 한국어 | The two-set Korean layout. Korean |
Pick your language
Open Flikzi and go to Language. The free version types one language: pick it there. More languages shows all 23. English is on from the start, and so is any other language your phone uses.
Flikzi Pro (a one-time US$4.99 purchase, free for the first 14 days) switches on as many as you like. Tap Several languages in the Flikzi Pro box for the languages screen, with a switch for each one. The last language that's on can't be switched off.
Switch between them
With Pro:
- Flick up on the left half of the space bar to go to the next of your languages, in turn. The space bar shows the name of the one you're typing in.
- 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.
Several languages at once
When two languages that are on use the same letters, such as English and Spanish, autocorrect and suggestions use the words of both, whichever one you're typing in. Flikzi leans towards the language you're typing in, and gives more room to the other as you use more of its words.
Choose which languages take part on the languages screen, under Guess words in. That part shows once two such languages are on.
Accents and special letters
In languages with accents, the accents come with the words: type deja in French and you get déjà. Hold a letter key when you want an accent on its own: its accents open above your finger (ä ö ü ß in German, ą ć ę ł in Polish, ç ğ ı ş in Turkish). ¡ and ¿ are on the number keys: tap ?123, then flick ! or ? up. Punctuation, symbols and accents
Learned words
Flikzi learns the words you type in each language, and which word you type after which, on your phone only. Clear them under Typing, Forget learned words. What Flikzi learns
Singlish
Singlish and Malaysian English words (lah, lor, shiok, makan …) can join English: turn on Singlish words under Typing. It's on from the start when your phone is set to Singapore or Malaysia. Singlish
