Hello guys,

Recently I installed android v4.4 in my laptop, which I dual boot with windows 8. I want to ask you something that have pissed me off and I want to know if there is any solution.

Well, as you thought I use my laptop keyboard to write. I have default input language "English", but I want to use my country language, which is "Greek", as well!

I found a way using the virtual keyboard provided by android, but it didn't work with my physical keyboard on laptop.

Is there any way, maybe some extension from "Google play" market, so I can use both language in my keyboard?

In windows we using the Shift+Alt command to change between the languages. In android there's no such option and I wanted to find a solution as soon as is possible.

Thanks in advance ...and sorry for the grammar mistakes in my Q.A.

Have a good day,
GeorgeGkas ;)

Solution 1

On my Asus TF700 when you have the default Asus keyboard selected you can switch languages with Ctrl+Shft which brings up a dialog to select your language.

Thank you Mehdi Gholam, but I find the solution I was looking for.

Just go to the Google Play store and download the MultiLing app. Then I just downloaded the laguage pack I need and that's it! To change between languages I use Ctrl+SpaceBar
