How To - Download and Install a Keyman Keyboard

Adding New Keyboards

To add keyboards, follow these steps:

Step 1) Open the menu for additional options. Select 'Settings'

Step 2) From the Keyman Settings menu, select 'Installed languages'

Step 3) From the 'Installed languages' menu, touch the + button in the bottom right corner of your screen.

Step 4) A keyboard search page will appear. Type in the search box to look for a keyboard based on: keyboard name, language name, or country.

To search for a specific BCP 47 language code, use a search l:id:.

In this example, we search for the word "khmer".

Select a keyboard to show additional information. Click the green button to install.

A notification will appear when the keyboard package is downloading in the background.

Step 5) Once the download is complete, you'll see 2 or 3 step process to install the new keyboard package.

a) Display the readme.htm documentation (if the keyboard includes it).

b) If the keyboard supports multiple languages, select languages to install. When a keyboard package only lists one language (khmer_angkor only lists km: Central Khmer), the installer proceeds to the next step.

c) Display the welcome.htm documentation.

After the new keyboard is installed, it will become active.
