Just went by the danish version of HTC.com to see if there were any new updates. To my big surprise there were no ROM updates for the Hero. Does anyone know why HTC has removed the update?
/morten
I asked HTC, they replied (very quickly I might add) that the danish site is being rebuilt and that I could get the update from the norwegian site.
Rebuilt???? don't all the language versions of the page use the same layout?
Could this be an indicastion that the 1.6 update is coming, or am I too optimistic?
judging by the dodgy translations ion the Danish ROM, i would say you were being optimistic.
Anyone with a danish ROM noticed that when you open the main programs menu, instead of saying 'all programs' in Dansih, it actualy says something along the lines of 'cannot read from widget'? there's quite a few other dodgy translations according to my Danish Friends...
i think it was an automatic translation which went wrong, kinda like the road sign in wales with the 'out of office' message on the bottom...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7702913.stm
LOL i've never actually used the danish translation, but I just tested it, and you are correct about the "All programs" == "Proplem med at indlæse widget"
HTC were never really good at the language variants. I used to own a Touch Diamond2, were the first ROM i had contained half german and dutch in the danish translation.
We'll see about the ROM update, I read somewhere that the sprint variant of Hero comes with donut on the 11th, so it would not be too much of a longshot to get a donut build for the european version around that time too.
/mof
lets hope so....it would be nice to see donut to see how much of an improvement it is.

What are the odds anyone will actually come out with a Swedish language Rom?
My guess is about 2.34 %
Our languages are quite small, but you will probably be the first to get it if we get a Scandinavian version.
I think that most M1000 users are so advanced, that they would prefere English anyway. I do, because some translations are confusing - and the defacto standard on the IT market is English.
It would be quite different for a Nokia 3100 phone aimed at the budget end of the consumer market.
Anyway, I am ready to install the Orange ROM labled DK released today, so I may get a Danish version soon..

Michael
Let me know how the Danish version works; I can pretty much read most of the Danish I encounter or at least figure it out, so I'd be willing to change to that... keeping the phone in another language keeps my friends when I'm the States from playing with it and ruining stuff.
Tack så mycket!

if it's easier access to ae oe and aa you want
then some guy from Norway make a custom keyboard add-on
which makes your keyboard (software keyboard ) into Scandinavian
it let you choose between Danish, Norwegian and Swedish
but of cause that don?t fix the issues that the text recognition cant recognise them and dictionary don?t have Scandinavian words
personaly i really hate translations and pretty much stay with english os's and programs
The 'Danish' ROM is in English as the original Orange M1000 ROM.
Only Danish content appear to be the default GPRS setting, pointing to a danish gateway.
Scandinavian keyboard is easy, this free utility will give you what you need:

I would like to write a message in Czech.
If I create a new email and then on the Edit menu choose Language then Central European I still get the Western European keyboard. I would expect to get a Central European keyboard. Even if I choose Cyrillic I get the Western European keyboard.
I can go to Start/Settings/System/Regional Settings and choose Czech and Pocket Outlook will display the month names in Czech but I still don't get a Central European keyboard.
Anyone know a solution?
2 things:
1. On a PC with a basic installation I only get the support for the locale selected. If I then want to write in Russian or Chinese I have to insert the installation disk to get other language support. It seems reasonable that Microsoft will not include every language in the PPC ROM where space is at a premium even though there is support in the applications for more than one language. There must be a CAB file somewhere that provides different keyboard layouts/character maps.
2. In the Czech Republic T-Mobile(your cash away) sell the XDAII as an MDAII and they have a different keyboard for inputting Czech characters. It seems to me that the ROM for the MDA includes the Central European language pack that isn't included in the XDA.
So 2 more questions
1. Is there a place to download a CAB containing the Central European keyboard etc?
2. If not 1 above. Does anyone have access to the individual CABs in the MDA ROM that contains the Central European keyboard? And can they send it to me :lol:
i think that language changes needs a new rom
I could get the T-Mobile Czech ROM from somewhere(?) and install it on the ppc but i don't want that. I only want to use a different keyboard.
I know there are products that can do this and I don't mind buying software but I do mind paying $25 for a piece of software that only does what the operating system should do.
Would anyone buy other versions of Windows if they only allowed input in the local language? If you bought a pc in Russia how could you post to this list?
What exactly is the change language option in the ms ppc products supposed to do if it doesn't change the input character set?
People!
What are you talking about?! No ROM change is needed - all you need is czech "input mehod" - keyboard! It is included on the CD the machine was packed with, called czech Language Extender and actually only adds the keyboard - the rest is preinstalled. If you are interested, I can try to find the CD on my shelf... :?
Concerning the ROM reinstall, it won't help - czech ROM is marked ENG! The only difference is the CD.
PS: I never tried to send SMS in Czech, bu it definitely works on the internet. :idea:
i must have pressed a wrong button somewhere cos my post didn't turn up.
that is great news. but i don't have anything like that on my CD. could you post it? is it a cab? is it easy to install? a beer or 2 if you can
I found the CD and will try to do something with it. It is a 5.5Mb executable, Czech or English.
We'll see... :wink:
looks promising but it wants a serial number.
any chance of posting one? 8)
Very sorry, my network went down yesterday. :evil:
I'll have a look at the serial when I come home. I installed it somehow so I must have it! :wink:
Here you go:
MORAA000-0000007425-56698-0703 :!:
now it should work!
Thanks Bob but that is a bit more than i needed
I now have a variagated ppc. Half o2 and half T-Mobile. Although i do have a Czech keyboard
Even installing the minimum of the Leng it adds a lot of T-Mobile stuff and I can't seem to get back the o2 stuff.
I don't know why but it also removes all the connections. Even using the o2 Active connection setup causes the thing to hang after a reset.
It is a pity. But thanks again for your help.
Hello Guys!
Been a while since I last been around xda or android so therefore I have a question!
I bought a HTC Flyer in the US, at Bestbuy. Now I'm from Denmark and therefore I would like it on Danish. I got the keyboard on Danish and I can ofc live with English language, however I would like to give it the last 1% toward the 100 of a perfect tablet experience.
I can't choose Danish under the language selection, so is there a way to get Danish. Maybe by getting the EU Version of Android 2.3.3? By rooting or shall I just give up, because it's now possible?
On forehand, thanks
I have the exact same problem with my HTC Flyer. I am Greek but Greek language is nowhere to be found in it. Even my Samsung Galaxy S (which still runs on android 2.2) has Greek!
I contacted HTC support and they told me to look at the Market for an add-on!! I specificaly asked the following question:" Do you mean Greek Keyboard OR Greek system menus? Because i do have a Greek Keyboard." The answear was "Greek system menus". I then searched the Market but i did't find any such app or add-on. Didn't contact HTC support again.
Get morelocale2 from android market
Can change system UI language

Cheers mate! Works out for me, found Danish and it just works!
- Try it out SpartanWarrior, Greek is there too!
Thanks, did the trick for me Portuguese
From what I understood back before ICS there was no way to add another input language dictionary to an already compiled version of android on a phone. So most keyboards with multilingual support have separate language packs which can be downloaded optionally. However, this means you had to choose to use a keyboard other than the built in Android keyboard.
Now that ICS is out I flashed it on my Nexus S and noticed there are add-on dictionaries in the Language & input setting in Android Keyboard under "Keyboard & Input Methods" (click the 3 sliders to your right) and then towards the bottom under "Text correction" clicking on add-on dictionaries brings up a page with all available. Some are installed and some can be installed. Unfortunately none with the language I want.
So My question is, how do I add another add-on dictionary and has this issue been fixed in the new Android ICS 4.0?
Here is some additional info I found over the months of FroYo and GB input language dictionary issue:

Here is the exact keyboard but with some additional language packs which, unlike Google's, can be added later:

This is very interesting for me too. I don't see Norwegian in the list, but I'm hoping once the Galaxy Nexus is released in Norway, the add-on dictionary will pop up in that list
I have a UK Galaxy Nexus, but this would also be interesting for everyone on custom roms who would like to use the standard keyboard and who are not writing in english.
+1 for this message.
Portuguese appears on the list, but there's no dictionary available for download.
+1 for this. I have the same problem on my Galaxy Nexus. There is a refresh button on the dictionary list so maybe Google will eventually add it but nothing so far.
Wait. So Android 4.0, the newest bestest Android version ever...
Is just for English users. Seriously?
I just thought/assumed it was a shortcoming in the current experimental builds I was running. This makes me seriously reconsider putting money into the Galaxy Nexus.

NO.
Currently the system KEYBOARD have: english, Cestina, Nederlands, Francais, Deutsch, Italiano, Russian and Espanol.
and we're awaiting more to come as it checks online for more dictionaries downloads.
But is it going to be possible to set the phone language to English, but set the language for spelling correction to Dutch? I know you can set the keyboard language to Dutch and install the Dutch dictionary but that only show correction suggestions in the bar above the keys and not if you touch the word. So now every Dutch word I type gets underlined even though I've set the keyboard language to Dutch. It doesn't do that if I set the system language to Dutch.

4.0.3 is supposed to be the "baseline" release of ICS, according to JBQ from Google.
The source is now available and so is some unofficial builds.
Has anyone checked them out to see if they include anything new in this regard?

Running aosp 41 which is great but nothing more other than what was already mentioned in add-on dictionaries. I assume it could be included in the ROM when compiling bu tthe developer has not answered my question on this yet. You could probably just compile the keyboard apk and replace the default. I know this was possible on GB because CyanogenMod 7 initially had about 100 dictionaries for the HeroC but sometime down the road it was cut out from the build to save space.
Is there any new news of how to add dictionary to Android ICS??
Bump.
Anyone solved this?
I've been trying to solve this weird problem since I started using android.. Not that i really miss the feature, but just because I can't stand it not being solved.
I use a USA (Verizon) droid 3 in the Netherlands. I used morelocale2 to set it to country: the Netherlands and language: English because by default I can only choose English and Spanish. With morelocale it works fine.
When I press the mic key in my homescreen, it uses dutch voice recognition (which works flawlessly btw). But when I want to use this voice recognition in any other app, it says "voice dictation does not support current language". When I change the input language under multi-touch keyboard settings to English, it will English voice.
I don't understand why it says it doesn't support it!! It DOES, as I can use it in the homescreen without any problems!
Thanks
This has not been fixed in Jelly Bean either.
Text correction is just available in a few, select languages. Availability of languages doesn't seem very improved since ICS, but the list has gotten a little longer.
It seems absurd though, that we should not be able to add our own dictionaries.

But other phones in my country that are "native" European phones can use voice dictation in all apps.
For me it doesn't work, even though it works in my home screen. There must be something I can change..
Can't load English UK dictionary
I have an excellent 5.7" MT6589 device known as STAR or BLUEBO B6000. I can set the system language to English UK and select the additional English UK dictionary and it says it's downloading but it never seems to load and the keyboard spell checker thinks that every word is wrong. This seems to be an issue with a few of the available ROMs, mostly based on 4.1.1. Any suggestions.
Hi everyone,
Thank you for taking the time to read my thread, and sorry in advance for writing so much. Now I have searched EVERYWHERE, for about 3-4 hours now, with about 200 tabs, and still have found nothing. What I really want is to be able to ADD (sorry about capitalization, just everywhere I look it's always is change, not add) UI language (like the ones in Settings>Language & keyboard>Select language), not adding a keyboard as I already have done that, but a language itself, like Spain Spanish. I have a HTC EVO 3D running Android 2.3.4, now this phone originated in China, so when I do go to the settings and check the languages, there are two languages in Chinese characters, and one in English (Hong Kong SAR China), so a total of three, now when I look at people who bought their phones from other places have so many languages like English, German, Italian and French, but I only have two, I tried using MoreLocale 2, but all it does it replace not add, and when I change the language it returns to default (so I changed the Hong Kong English to NZ English via morelocale, as I am in NZ, and it did change it, but when I changed the language from NZ English to one of the Chinese ones, and then back to English, via the settings menu, it returned to Hong Kong English), I am not too worried about that problem, but all I want to do is add UI languages, would prefer without rooting, but if I MUST, then I am up for it. So is there a way of doing so, if there is, could you PLEASE tell me, I would SOOOO GRATEFUL.
Thank you again and I hope you enjoy your day
I'd like to know this as well.
Running android on my HTCHD2 (does the exact firmware matter?)
and I would like very much so to alter the UI language to Thai.
I realize Thai is not a very common language but my family there just can't read english, especially the kids. I tried some locale changers like Morelocale 2 and it helps make alot of things into Thai, but not the most important thing I need, the UI such as settings and menus. All of that is still in english.
I tried to see if i can download some sort of patch or rom but come up with nothing. So now I'm just gonna bite the bullet and would like to do it myself. Is there a way to just add in or perhaps alter one of the other languages(i'm not gonna use Korean for example) so I can actually make it all into Thai myself?
