There are two aspects of localization: one is the interface language and the other is the symbols that can be printed by the keyboard. The interface is localized into 10 languages and can be switched through the system Regional settings.

All layout customizations are done via 'skins'. A skin is a set of files that describe the keyboard layout and look. Each skin contains about 35 different language layouts, some of them require additional fonts to be installed on the device or IME support. So for example to enable Hebrew support, you need Hebrew fonts to be installed, which comes with any Hebrew localizer. As for Chinese and Korean layouts, it will require special IME dlls, that are available on the devices with Chinese ROM.

The word completion feature is enabled by default. When you type a word Spb Keyboard tries to predict the word you're typing and complete it. If you want to accept the predicted word you should press the right arrow key, otherwise just continue typing.

You can change word completion options. Please note that Spb Keyboard uses system word completion settings in the half-screen and standard modes.

You can assign one of hardware buttons to quick show/hide Spb Keyboard. To do so you must use the standard way of hardware buttons assigning on Windows Mobile devices. Open the Settings -> Buttons dialog from the Start menu of your Windows Mobile device. Assign a certain button to Spb Keyboard as described there.
