Replace "tm'" with "un'" within T9 keyboard

Post by chtamina »

Hello, in Italian we use this sign " ' " after "un" (which means "a" or "an") when the next word is "female".
The question is: is there a quick way to write " un' " using the T9 ?

If I try to write it I get " tm' " I tried with autotext replace but it didn't work.

Right now I'm testing this keyboard, if I'll be able to get this done I'll buy it.

thanks

Handling of apostrophe with Italian is a bit tricky. I guess you mean T9 layout with T9 prediction enabled? (otherwise there is no problem)
The problem is that apostrophe is not considered as a word separator, so typing " un' " alone doesn't make sense in my opinion. What are you trying to type exactly?
For instance if you want to type " un'altra " with T9, there is no problem, you can just type:
(tum) (mno) (') (abc) (jkl) (tuv) (pqrs) (abc)
or even:
(tum) (mno) (abc) (jkl) (tuv) (pqrs) (abc)

I'm able to type "un'altra" because it was previously added to my custom dictionary, otherwise words get "recorded" like this

the article like " l' " or " un' " gets recored together with the word, so I have to add each word each time again.
maybe when you type a word like "un" or " l "followed by the " ' " it should act like a word separator

I guess you have similar problems with french language
