Intermediate 21: Auto-Correction In Multiple Languages


Listen Later

Sure, it’s convenient to be able to write in multiple languages, but sometimes the auto-correct messes you up too. No problem, in today’s lesson we talk about how to set up your phone to type in either English or Portuguese.

Dialogue

A: Droga, eu detesto esse teclado com autocorreção.
B: Por quê? Você não acha que ajuda com as palavras que não sabe digitar?
A: Pra isso sim, mas as vezes eu escrevo em inglês e outras vezes eu escrevo em português.
B: Você sabe que dá pra alterar o teclado para as duas línguas, não é mesmo?
A: Sério, como que faz isso?
B: Olha, vai para Ajustes, daí Geral, daí Teclado, e daí Teclados. Tá bom?
A: Tá.
B: E agora olha que diz, “Adicionar Novo Teclado.” Pressiona essa, e aí você vai ver a lista de outras línguas.
A: Olha lá! Tá, deixa eu escolher o inglês e o Emoji. Tá, legal. Mas e agora, o que que eu faço para trocar entre esses três?
B: Bom, isso é mais fácil ainda. Olha aqui no teclado, tem esse pequeno globo, não é?
A: Sei.
B: Então, toque no globo e vai pressionando para ver todos os teclados, e aí seleciona quando chegar na língua que você quer.
A: Só isso, é fácil.
B: É fácil, menina e tem mais, hein? Olha que agora a mudança de teclado também muda o dicionário, a autocorreção, e o texto preditivo.
A: Ainda bem, porque as vezes fico na dúvida com algumas palavras em inglês.
B: Ah eu sei, por exemplo, selecione a palavra, e clica em “Definir.” Pronto, e ele vai dar a definição dessa palavra em inglês, olha que beleza?
A: Nossa, beleza, muito obrigada Andreia.
B: De nada.


A: Dang it, I hate this keyboard with auto-correction.
B: Why? Don’t you think that it helps with the words that you don’t know how to spell?
A: For that yes, but sometimes I write in English and other times I write in Portuguese.
B: You do know that you can change the keyboard for the two languages, right?
A: Really, how do you do that?
B: Look, go to Settings, then General, then Keyboard, then Keyboards, OK?
A: OK.
B: Now see what it says, “Add New Keyboard.” Click this and then you will see the list of other languages.
A: Look at that! OK, let me choose English and Emoji. That’s cool. But now, what do I do to change among these three?
B: Well, that is even easier. Look here on the keyboard, there is this little globe, right?
A: Right.
B: So, click on the globe and keep on pressing it to see all of your keyboards, and from there choose it when you get to the language that you want.
A: That’s it, it’s easy.
B: It’s easy girl, and there’s more, you know? Look how now by changing the keyboard you also change the dictionary, the auto-correction, and the predictive text.
A: Just as well, because there are times when I’m not sure how to spell words in English.
B: I know, and for example, select the word, and click on “Define.” There you go, it will give you the definition to this word in English, isn’t that cool?
A: Wow, that’s beautiful, thanks a lot Andreia.
B: You are welcome.
