button and select either Metric or Imperial.
Secondary Keyboard
This option allows you to select a secondary keyboard layout that is different from the
primary keyboard. For example, you can change between an English (United Kingdom)
keyboard and a Japanese keyboard, which allows you to use an English (United Kingdom)
keyboard to generate Japanese characters.
