Xperia Chinese keyboard's English mini keyboard problem

zeefung — Tue, 15 Oct 2013 12:01:20 GMT

When I use the Xperia Chinese keyboard to enter English, using the mini keyboard layout, the word and spell check correction is simply messed up - it just always changes the words I type to some wrong and really irrelevant words....

Note I am only talking about the Xperia Chinese keyboard - not the Xperia International keyboard ... and I am only talking about English input not Chinese input.

I need to use this Xperia Chinese keyboard because I need to enter Chinese words (as well as English, of course). The mini keyboard in Chinese (I use Cangjei) works fine. But the English mini keyboard just messes up all the words I type...

Do you mean word predictions not in their English dictionary? You need to select it manually.
Can you give example too?
FYI, I just realized that I can't swap the word 'English'. Can someone confirm this?

Thanks. I believe this must be a software bug with the Xperia Chinese keyboard when in English mini keyboard mode... both in terms of Gesture input (as in the other thread) as well as the word prediction in typing input ... wish there can be a fix as soon as possible.
