Samsung Bluetooth Keyboard Problrm

On my Samsung external BT keyboard attached to my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5, when I press the "Lang" key, a pop up tells me that I have changed languages, and the on-screen keyboard displays and inputs that language, but when typing on the external keyboard, I only get English.

I'm only seeing one language on these tablets. The multiple language systems are not implemented so be sure to talk to Samsung in your country about what languages come with your tablet.

Languages on Samsung Galaxy Tabs

I have both the tab 3 8.4 and the tab s 10.5 and it is very easy to set up another language (in this case Greek), and as I said, it works fie using the on-screen keyboard. Just not the external bluetooth one.

Doesn't have that language. Time to ask Samsung if they implemented the keyboard language button or change other than the on screen keyboard.

Have your tried to get support from them? I just went through 3 levels of screens, re-entering my information each time to finally end up with an error message in Korean characters!

No. Why?

Since the one I tried didn't have those languages I didn't expect the keyboard to do that. Let's hope Samsung can work this out for you.
