I have some language apps that require people entering text in a couple of languages. For example, one screen requires english text and another, french.
I am learning how to create custom keyboards as keyboard extensions. But all I'm doing is recreating existing keyboards, like QWERTY, AZERTY, etc.
Is there now a way to select a specific language keyboard depending upon what class is being used?
Thanks

My third party keyboard supports multiple languages for both autocorrect and the actual app but while selecting it in Settings > General > Keyboard it only shows English under it, unlike other third party keyboards.
How can I change that? And in which .plist do I do it, the keyboard or app?
Thanks in advance!
in your keyboard extension .plist, simply add a "PrimaryLanguage" string field, and add "mul". this will change your keyboard language to Multiple Language in settings
I am making app with default spanish language. In email form I want show english keyboard. Is it possible to do it?
Unfortunately, you cannot control the language of the keyboard. The user chooses which keyboards they would like available via the settings application and can toggle between them using the globe icon on the keyboard. When the keyboard is opened it will open to the most recently used keyboard.check this like http://iphone.appstorm.net/how-to/change-your-keyboard-or-display-language-in-ios/
You can make a customize keyboard. take a UIView add UIButton and add what you want to all in this view.
Actually, I need to translate only "done"/"pref"/"next" buttons at decimal pad keyboard to russian language or other. By the way, localization of the application in russian. Moreover, all other buttons like "cancel" at other control was translated automatically when I changed localization language. But not this.
Can it be done without customization?
It will help you.
iPhone: Change Keyboard language programmatically.
No this is not possible - user can only change their language in the settings.
However you can give the user an "English" keyboard if you choose (or ask them their preference)
you do this using: UIKeyboardTypeASCIICapable
You can change keyboard directly on the keyboard by pressing "globe icon" on the bottom row.
First, you have to enable those language for input in Settings. Then pressing the globe button on the keyboard would toggle between those languages.
I found the solution: You have to create a infoPlist.strings in your xCode project, and add this code:
/*
InfoPlist.strings
*/
"Done" = "OK";
Then, in your project-> Info, add your language (Spanish in my case).
Later, go back to your infoPlist file, and target "Spanish" in the right menu, under "Localization" tab.
In "Edit scheme", clicking next to the "stop application" button, click run->options and in "Application language" select "System language".
Repeat for all the languages of your app.
Success!!
In his following answer, Oscar describes how to create a custom button and add it as a subview to a UIKeyboard.
You can use the above to create the needed button with the required custom text & selector, then add it to the UIKeyboard in place.
I want to create a Alphabet (Character) tracing and learning app.Which will be multilingual app.The font for different language will be attached in app resource folder. First user select language and fond. According to language selection the keyboard will be shown.Then user enter a character and trace. Is it possible to show keyboard according to language selection.Or I have to create custom keyboard.Please suggest me.
You have no control over which keyboard gets shown, unless you create a custom one, unfortunately. If you had control, you might request to show a keyboard that the user has not enabled in their settings and this would cause a problem. The only keyboards you can request to open are the ones listed in UIKeyboardType
I have a UITableview with a UISearchBar, which contain Japanese words, and I want to test if it works to search Japanese words with Japanese keyboard. I can't find how to change the default keyboard on iPhone simulator.
Open on simulator Settings application ->General->International->Language. Select here your language and keyboard will have required letters.
I think what we really want to do is add an international keyboard, not change the language of the simulator.
Open Simulator
Find Settings. It's an app, not a menu item. Look for the icon with three gears.
Navigate to General > Keyboard > International Keyboards > Add New Keyboard
Now select the international keyboard(s) you'd like to add.
You can access the new keyboard(s) in your app by clicking the button that looks like a globe.
Once selected, that keyboard will remain the default until you change it again using the method from step 5.
Note that for Japanese (and Chinese) the keyboard layout isn't that important; what is needed is an input module converting the input to actual ideographic characters. Those are called "IME" (Input Method Editor)
A keyboard has just about a hundred keys, only half of them being alphabetic; but Japanese and Chinese need several thousands different characters. The role of IMEs are to convert phonetic of descriptive input into the wanted characters.
Japanese keyboard provides direct typing of phonetic japanese characters (katakana and hiragana); but all japanese IMEs acccept phonetic input either in native kana or in romanized (in latin letters).
