Change Language on iPad

[Mikeo512]

iPad with 17.3.1.
My main language is English (UK) but I use ChatGDP to help with my Italian.
I interact with ChatGDP in Italian.
The trouble is that I start to type a word in Italian and the iPad thinks I am writing in English. So half-way through the Italian word, the spellchecker takes over and I end up with an English word that starts like the Italian word that I had wanted to key in!
Is it possible to easily switch languages for this particular app? In fact, it could remain permanently as Italian in this app because I don't use ChatGDP for anything else.
Alternatively, if it's easy to do, I would be happy to change the entire iPad to Italian for my language practice sessions and then back to English when I have finished.
Thanks in advance .... M

Hi

I've never thought about this, but this Apple Link might help you in that it tells you of a way in which you can keep two languages on an iPad and change from one to another and back again:

Add or change keyboards on iPad

On iPad, add keyboards for different languages and change the layout of your keyboard.

OK. Thanks Ian.
I have added an Italian keyboard and can flip between this new one and the standard British English one.
This has indeed changed the visible headings on some of the applications.
For example, in 'Notes', I now see "Note rapide" (the Italian for "quick notes")
But despite this, just above the on-screen keyboard, the words continue to pop up in English; and it's the same in ChatGDT. So if I type the Italian words "Mi piace" (I like or I enjoy), the autocorrect brings up "peace" or "place". I have to keep looking down at the screen, and hit the cross to make the iPad realise that I do, indeed, want "Mi piace" or whatever is Italian word I am typing. Guess that I need to somehow get at the auto-correct and change this from English to Italian. Not sure how to do this.

And even when I have "italiano" selected as my preferred language in ChatGPD, the auto-correct still sticks resolutely to English. ....

But wait a mo!
At the top right in Chat GPD, there is a language-selection box. I've selected "Italian" and now things seem to be OK.
No, no, no ... (!)
The above works on the MPB but it does not work on the iPad!
So perhaps this function is not supported on the iPad ... not for CHATGDP or or anything else (??)

somehow get at the auto-correct and change this from English to Italian.

I believe Auto-correct has to do with the dictionary selected. Maybe there is a way to add an Italian dictionary?
