The z key and y key have switched places on my keyboard! How do I switch them back?

Help!

I opened the iPad this morning and the z key is where the y key belongs and visa versa! I checked all the other apps that need a keyboard they are all messed up too! Does anyone know how to move them back or why this man have happened?


Any ideas are welcome!


Zzzzzz sleepy and confused yyyyyyyy

iPad, iOS 7.0.4

You have probably activated either a QWERTZ or a foreign language keyboard. When the keyboard is open, check for a key to the left of the space that looks like a wireframe globe. Tap it if it's there. You should be able to change it back to a standard keyboard.

Thank you so much! The globe was not there like it is on my iPhone. However I went into settings and had somehow change it to a QWERTZ keyboard, didn't know such a thing existed. Thanks again for your help!

FYI: The globe key only appears if you have more than one keyboard active (ex: both English and Emoji - or another language).
