Hello all! I wish to install a Japanese keyboard on my phone so I can become acquainted with using it over the course of my learning the language. But the keyboard suggested by Tofugu in an old article currently has a very low rating on google play and seems to have lost some features that it once had due to outside software advancement.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a standard Japanese keyboard (the same as the one they use in Japan) that can freely switch between Japanese and English? The one recommended by Tofugu can switch to a default English keyboard, but then it removes itself from the phoneās default settings and doesnāt let you switch back while typing Ļ(ļæ£ćļæ£ć)
Use the standard Japanese keyboard and switch to Romaji-dedicated layout. You can change it from Settings - Language & input - Google Japanese Input - Keyboard layout .
You should then have an icon in the bottom right to switch between keyboards. The standard system one has gotten a lot better.
Swiftkey is nice. You can have both English and Japanese and switch between them pretty much instantaneously. I also like Simeji but the English keyboard doesnāt have autocorrect so I never really use it unless Iām only typing in Japanese.
I just figured this out on my Samsung and I love it! Super convenient. Just swipe left on my spacebar and bam Japanese. You can add multiple languages as well
