Change the language of your keyboard for WhatsApp Business
The language of the keyboard you use for WhatsApp Business can also be changed. This is interesting when your keyboard is not set to the language you use most often. Adding multiple keyboards is also beneficial when your business, for example, has Dutch and English customers. By adding a keyboard for both languages, you can communicate with all your customers without the autocorrect changing every word.
