I recently touched something on my blackberry and from that point on, it would only type in Arabic characters. Very confusing.
Here is how to fix it.
First, it appears that the keyboard “shortcut” I touched to make this start happening was ALT+ENTER, the first and last keys on the the third row down from the top on the keyboard. Apparently, that default is on for the 8X00 model Blackberries.
Get back to English characters.
To get back to the English characters, go to Options (the ‘wrench’ icon) then Language, then select “English (United States)” — or whatever is appropriate for you.
To turn off the shortcut:
Next, go to the bottom of that screen and change “Use Input Language Shortcut” to “No”.
You should be back in business.
Hope this helps!
