Change your keyboard language
You must set up more keyboard languages before you can switch between languages. If you set up multiple languages that use the same keyboard layout (Such as QWERTY, AZERTY, or QUERTZ), your 
BlackBerry device automatically detects 
words in each language.
1.At the beginning of a new line of text, tap .
2.Tap the language you want to type in on your BlackBerry Keyboard.
If you set up two languages that use different keyboard layouts, the language and default keyboard layout automatically 
switches to the other layout. If you set up three languages that use different keyboard layouts, your device automatically 
cycles to the next language in the list that has a different default keyboard layout. In both cases, your device recognizes  words from all the keyboard languages you set up.
Keyboard input methods
An input method enables you to type words or characters that are not available using the characters on your keyboard layout. In some cases, input methods give you a phonetic approximation of a word based on the keyboard layout you are  using. Your device can then suggest a character or diacritic based on the sound you choose.
In other cases, input methods provide you with gestures and key combinations for languages. Some keyboard input methods are common to all supported languages, such as word prediction or selecting accented characters by pressing 
and holding keys.
Typing in other languages
You can set your BlackBerry device to recognize three different input languages when you type. As you type, your device 
makes predictions based on each of the language families. For example, if you use a Latin-based display language,  predictions appear for any of the configured Latin-based languages. Similarly, if your display language is Korean, it will not display Arabic or Latin-based suggestions. When you set more than one typing language, you may need to consider the following:
