[Q] How to have multi-language dictionaries [WP7 autocorrects my English words]

Hello,
I own the French version of WP7.
Most of the time I'm typing my messages in French. Autocorrection works fine.
But for business purposes I also have to type my messages in English. Then WP7 will try to auto-correct my English words into French words, and messes everything.
That's crazy.
How can I have both French and English dictionaries ?

Select multiple keyboard languages in the settings. When done so, your virtual keyboard will show a regional button right of the spacebar. Changing keyboard layout will change the dictionary.

Thanks Tom for the tip.
That was quite easy. It didn't come to my mind to check in the general settings menu.

[Q] Japanese Keyboard Input

Anyone know how to set Japanese input for the keyboard? I want to be able to write Japanese. I've searched around the web and I heard that only Japanese version of the Note 2 has this option. Is this true?
The additional keyboard language packs don't have Japanese as a language option for some reason.

Swype has a Japanese language pack.

I just use the google japanese (google japanese input beta) keyboard for japanese.

Thanks for the tips. I'm actually looking for something where I can write Japanese Kanji and having the keyboard recognize the words. This is mainly for Japanese-English dictionaries with handwriting recognition. I can use the Chinese input pack, but there are still some differences between the Chinese characters and the Japanese Kanji.

If you just need to look up specific characters you could use either kanji recognizer or wwwjdic, both have handwriting input.

Ah excellent! This sounds exactly like what I am looking for. I'm gonna go try it out. Thanks!

Japanese handwriting support?

I see Japanese as an option in the handwriting language list, but not in the keyboard list. If it's not listed in the keyboard list I can't actually select it while using the handwriting keyboard (which seems rather broken to me). Anyone know how to get this going?

I'm not sure if this is what you want - try Google Japanese Input.
After install, you can enable them in your Settings > Language and input.

Google Translate does japanese handwriting rocognition too.

you need the keyboard and libs from a Japanese ROM. Japanese isn't intergrated into the Samsung keyboard. It has its own Samsung Japanese keyboard. There is another thread around that lists the stuff you need to extract from a Japanese ROM.
Else try third party like others suggested, Swype supports handwriting doesn't it as well?

Google Keyboard not showing suggested emoji

I use Google Keyboard and as far as I can tell it should show emoji amongst the predicted words. It seems from various guides I have seen I need to add the 'Emoji for English words' via an add-on dictionary from the language menu. I can't see the emoji dictionary in the list.
Is anyone else using the Google Keyboard seeing emoji word predictions?

S Pen Translation

I noticed some languages are missing, such as Japanese and Chinese. Is it possible to add in languages? If not, are there any alternatives to the s-pen translation tool?
