Magic keyboard for iPad Pro not work in Spanish.

I brought a magic keyboard in US English edition. Meanwhile, I set my keyboard in English & Spanish in my iPad. When I am using the magic keyboard to type in Spanish, it cannot work properly. eg. I cannot type in letter like ñ, é, í,á,ú,ó with the magic keyboard. But when I remove the magic keyboard or just use the keyboard on the screen of the iPad. It can be typed in.

I have communicated with the apple tech team in China. They said that the US English edition of the magic keyboard cannot support the Spanish, which I thought it was ridiculous! I have brought a magic keyboard for my Mac, which also designed &produced by apple. It works very well in any language. How can it be called as a keyboard, if it doesn’t support the most popular languages?

Does any one knows how to setting? Or do you have the same problem? Have you settled it?

iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi

Gracias.

Finally I found the solution on how to solve this problem. You need go to the settings - general - keyboard - physical keyboard, and you will find that there is Spanish(automatically) keyboard, click this option and switch to Spanish(Spain) or Spanish(latinoamericano).

Then you will find that the magic keyboard now support the Spanish.

You should have no problem typing all those letters using the standard Apple keyboard shortcuts, such as option e, then e to get é, or option n, then n to get ñ. Here is a list

An alternative would be to set your Hardware Keyboard setting to Spanish ISO. Then your keys will behave as if you were using a Spanish hardware keyboard.

Apple has not yet provided the press and hold popup accent menu for iOS hardware keyboards. To ask them to add that feature, go to

Sometimes "automatic" does not give the right results. If you ever find that in the future, change it to Spanish ISO.
