PS4 - can't switch to Japanese input

[Mr_Robaato]

I have this same problem, only I have a Japanese PS4, a Japanese keyboard (Logicool G510) but I know of a way to switch to Japanese, except it is so complicated!!!
by the time I finish doing it, type in お疲れ様, everyone has left the dungeon and I missed my chance to get loot and to commend anyone for my challenge log!!!

how to type in Japanese:
hit ENTER on the keyboard,
pick up the PS4 gamepad,
hit the triangle button TWICE,
hit Alt+半角／全角key,
type the japanese,
hit ENTER twice!!!

Is there an easier way? I have been trying to hit every key but nothing lets me type without that long process!!! so i have to make macros to type in dungeons...

oops... i just read up on the PS4, all I had to do was go into SYSTEM, input devices, external keyboard, change to japanese keyboard and set it to romaji so i can start with english.... my problem was too simple!

You can always use autotranslate phrases or prepare the most common greetings / "goodbies" in the macros.

and I missed my chance to get loot and to commend anyone for my challenge log!!!

Well - that's quite unlikely as there is 300 seconds counter on loot ...

Is this broken with the new patch? 2.28
I tried my usual ` but it seems that doesn't work anymore.
