How To Change QWERTZ Keypad to QWERTY

No comments :

The QWERTZ or QWERTZ keyboard is a widely used computer and typewriter keyboard layout that is mostly used in Central Europe. The name comes from the first six letters at the top left of the keyboard: Q, W, E, R, T, and Z.
The main difference between QWERTZ and QWERTY is that the positions of the "Z" and "Y" keys are switched, this change being made for two major reasons:

"Z" is a much more common letter than "Y" in German; the latter rarely appears outside words whose spellings reflect either their importation from a foreign language or the Hellenization of an older German form under the influence of Ludwig I of Bavaria.

"T" and "Z" often appear next to each other in the German orthography, and placing the two keys next to each other minimizes the effort needed for typing the two characters in sequence (cf. the use of a single-block tz ligature in many early mechanical printing presses using fraktur typefaces).

Steps to change it to QWERTY: 

  1. You go to settings, language & keyboard, and check that the language is set to English? 
  2. Then select your preferred keyboard. Your preferred keyboard should have its own settings. 
  3. Check there to see if the selected language is English.
  4.  If there is an option for keyboard layout, select QWERTY.
 You are currently set to a qwertz keyboard. Somehow, a setting was changed on your phone.
