• WORKING WITH PREDICTIVE TEXT INPUT
The predictive text feature is based on a built-in dictionary to which you
can add words. Your phone includes several different language versions of
this dictionary. Although your phone can display a given language on the
screen, it may not have a predictive-text dictionary of that same language.
By default, your phone is set in the traditional text input mode. Before you
can use the predictive text input method, you must first activate the
predictive text mode.
