Hi there Mitch the Pianist,


You may have inadvertently changed the keyboard from German to English. Luckly, it's pretty easy to change back. Take a look at the article below for more information.


iOS: Using international keyboards


Change the language

If more than one keyboard is on, you can change the language while typing with two methods:

  1. Tap the Next Keyboard User uploaded file key to choose the next language. The chosen language shows on the Space bar.
  2. Touch and hold User uploaded file to display a menu of the enabled keyboards.
  3. Drag to choose a new keyboard.

In iOS 6 and later, the language of the keyboard determines the language of the dictionary, if one is available for the language. To get the definition of a word, select the word and tap Define (if it's available).
