For certain keyboard languages such as English and Spanish, you can add frequently-used names, acronyms, and even phrases to the word prediction dictionary to easily find them in the suggestion list.
Type even faster when you create text shortcuts to words and phrases. For example, instead of typing the English phrase "Talk to you later", save a few keystrokes by adding the ttyl shortcut. In your message or email, just type "ttyl", and then tap the spacebar to enter the complete phrase.
Important: This feature is available only for Latin-based languages.
