Setting a second language for word prediction

You can set the word prediction to be bilingual. As you type, you’ll get word suggestions in the
languages that you’ve selected.

This feature is available only for Latin-based languages.

1. Go to Settings, and then tap Language & keyboard > HTC Sense Input.

2. Tap Keyboard selection > Bilingual prediction, and then choose the language you want.

Adding words and phrases to the dictionary

For certain keyboard languages such as English and Spanish, you can add frequently-used names,
acronyms, and even phrases to the word prediction dictionary to easily find them in the suggestion
list.

Type even faster when you create text shortcuts to words and phrases. For example, instead of
typing the English phrase "Talk to you later", save a few keystrokes by adding the ttyl
shortcut. In your message or email, just type "ttyl", and then tap the spacebar to enter the
complete phrase.

This feature is available only for Latin-based languages.

1. Go to Settings, and then tap Language & keyboard > HTC Sense Input.

2. Tap Personal dictionary >

.

3. Enter a word or phrase, and then enter its text shortcut. Be sure to remember this shortcut,

including the uppercase and lowercase letters you've typed.

4. Tap OK.

While you're entering text using the Standard keyboard layout, tapping a suggested word that’s
not in the dictionary (usually the first word shown in the suggestion list) automatically stores it.

Editing or deleting words and phrases in the dictionary

1. Go to Settings, and then tap Language & keyboard > HTC Sense Input.

2. Tap Personal dictionary.
