Hi everyone
Those who have GS2, could you check if Arabic is available in keyboard languages.
Many thnx
Quick answer, it will be no Arabic in the UK version.
I believe i saw a pic in some threads "don't remember" which show non-connected letters.
like GS1, you have to wait for the Middle EastROM or..use some script that's push RTL support in the system which give you an acceptable result until that time.

Hello everyone, I am having an issue with Custom Locale application on modaco's 2.2 rom.
What I want to do is, keep the English menus but also have the option for Greek keyboard. Now, there is a locale that changes both menus and keyboard to Greek so the Greek keyboard is there.
Although, when I select the locale for English menus and Greek keyboard(en_GR) it doesn't work, they are both English. Is there a way to modify the locales so I can achieve what I am looking for?
P.S: I also tried adding the locales from inside the application but that didn't work.
Anyone got a solution to this? If no, how can I contact the author of Custom Locale application?
Thanks.
Hello Zenor ,
I am having the same problem with hero , plus when i change to Gr locale dictionary prediction doesn't work for Greek input. enGr doesn't work either(i want to have english menu with a greek alternative keyboard language aswell). What i haven't tested yet though is insert a sim from a Greek mobile provider ,reset my phone and don't highlight the English option in the beginning.Just wait for a a couple of minutes and check if you have the greek input.
Have you guys figured out how to do it or no joy yet?
I'm also interested in having an English menu with a Greek keyboard for messaging (with predictive text preferably).
Hey There,
I live in Germany and type most of my SMS in german.
I flashed the "Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) Keyboard" from Fabulous? under CM6.1 on my Hero. (the one from the "perfect setup guide")
it's working just fine, but the suggested words are all in english, which is actually pretty annoying, since I can make no mistake while typing.
Is there ANY way to change the dictionary/word-completion-database (whatever is responsible), so the keyboard actually suggests german words, when keyboard is set to german and english words, when set to same.
If I could only change it to one language permanently, I would still like to change it towards german.
If this doesn't work, which keyboard should I give a try? This should have a working auto-prediction in german under CM6.1
I know Swype and HTC_IME...
cheers
I don't think you can but have you tried changing your language on the phone if that does not work you might want to download smart keyboard trail from the android market then search for smart keyboard language the german language should be somewhere in the search result then go into settings then language and keyboard then check the smart keyboard trail then long press on then go into message and compose message then long press on any box and choose smart keyboard trail
phone language is already set to german. changing it to english and then back to german didn't change anything.
will give smart keyboard a try!
thanks for the suggestion.
try this one

hi
I have an viewpad7 and i want to add Arabic language
can any body help me to do this..

please help me..
Help please. Help.....
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Sort of a suggestion
I can't help you directly with Arabic or Farsi but i have enabled mine to handle Japanese, so it is possible to use other languages than Latin based alphabets.
My suggestion is that you go to Market and look for Arabic & Farsi soft keyboards. They will usually also come with support for the most popular Arabic/Farsi IME.
The other thing I suppose is that you want support for Right to Left text display? I am not sure if an Arabic IME will come with that support. For example, Japanese can also be written vertically with the columns going from right to left. I haven't found support for that in any of the IMEs. So it will be trial & error.
PS. IME = Input Managing Editor

thanks for answering ..
when i install the keyboards the words on messaging or the web browser in Persian language are shown with space between hem
any Idea
Have you checked in settings? It might have a setting for automatically using space to save time, especially if you mix it up with words in an alphabetic based language.

Hello everybody,
I am an Android User ever since and something that always bugged me was the bad support of multiple languages.
I saw word prediction and autocorrection, as well as the overall performance improving with every new Android version. But still typing in multiple languages is -- to be honest -- a pain in the a*s on Android devices...even on Jelly Bean! (But I got to admit...the stock Jelly Bean keyboard is quite good and the range of supported languages is impressive!)
When I take a look at the variety of countries XDA users and developers come from I just can't believe that there is no sufficient solution.
Or and this is more likely...I am just to blind to find it
My frequently used languages are:
German
English (US)
Korean
Russian
Spanish
(I greyed out the last ones, because I don't use them as often as the other ones.)
Especially Korean causes problems, because it has no direct integration and the recently updated "Google Korean IME" (Play Store Link) has some really weird issues. They state to have it updated to the ICS UI, but the button order honestly is just confusing.
Please take a look at the attached screenshots.
What's bugging me the most is the inconsitent layout in the "Korean IME".
On the Stock Keyboard the button-order in the downmost row is:
Code:
[?123] [,] [(lang-switch)] [space] [.] [search/go/enter]
On the Korean IME, but English Layout it is:
Code:
[한굴] [?123] [(voice-input)] [space] [.] [search/go/enter]
On the Korean IME, but Korean Layout it is:
Code:
[ABC] [?123] [(voice-input)] [space] [.] [search/go/enter]
On the Korean IME, but Special Character Layout it is:
Code:
[(settings)] [한굴] [,] [space] [.] [search/go/enter]
Why isn't the the same order as in the Jelly Bean Keyboard used?
Why can't the settings button be deactivated in the keyboards settings of the Korean IME?
Why does the order of the "back to languages mode" button in the "Special Character Layout" (Korean IME) change from the regular pattern and is completely differing from all the other stock keyboard layouts?
Why are the special characters (alternative pane) in the Korean IME different from the layout in all the other stock keyboard patterns (different set of characters like stars etc.; not even the symbol for "Korean Won" ₩ is on it, neither the circle for degree °)?
Why is the stock keyboard slightly bigger compared to the Korean IME, even though it is supposed to support the new UI?
Why does the english layout of the korean IME use a different autocorrect than the new stock keyboard?
Why does the Korean IME always start up with the English Character-Set shown first (no settings available)? Switching to the Korean IME is in 99% of the use cases done to type with korean characters.
If you are a heavy user in terms of switching fast between multiple languages this gets really annoying, because you very quickly stop taking a look for the buttons and then hit the wrong ones.
And another thing really bugs me as a Mac OS X user...why isn't the language you are typing in autodetected?
I don't really need special keyboards for let's say English/German/Spanish. In the rare occasions I use Spanish I can just select the ñ or other differing characters from the popup. There is no other major difference between the keyboard layouts! And all the other characters are all integrated in the German keyboard (for example) as well...
Why do I have to switch the keyboard all the time? Only for the autocorrect functions?
It makes sense to have a switch for Russian and Korean or all the other languages with non-latin characters, but for the rest? This seems outdated.
Take a look at Mac OS X. The autodetection is done very well and just works.
So XDA...what is your solution to this?
Thank you very much

It's unbelievably stupid. You'd think with Samsung being the largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, Android would have a Korean keyboard! At least everything works on ICS. In JB, the voice input button doesn't switch languages, ever! It's always your default display language. This really isn't that hard, Google! It's as if you have no East Asian customers.
BTW, the Korean IME in the Play store says it's updated for ICS, not JB.
Yeah you are right...they updated to ICS. (Fixed it in the first posting...along with some more typo corrections )
But anyways...as both use the Holo Interface the difference shouldn't be that big. And as far as I could tell from comparing the screenshots...there were no changes made regarding the button order on the stock keyboard from ICS to JellyBean.
Seriously I don't know...
I sent this as an feature request to Google.
I wonder how they handle request...if they actually care about them?
We'll see...
Hi i have s3 and im from Lithuania and i dont know how to enable Lithuanian text correction. This option perfecly worked on s1 and s2.
For example when im typing "azuolas" it becomes "ąžuolas".
Sorry for my english and thank you for answers.

First of all, If we're speaking about "autocorrect" option, Samsung badly disabled this since JB releases to avoid a possible patent fight with Apple. In the other hand, you can enable "suggestions" in the stock keyboard; first of all make sure you have downloaded and installed your language dictionary (settings>language>samsung keyboard wheel icon>input languages) and then enable predictive text in the same samsung keyboard settings page.
If all have been done right, then you can type with suggestions, but stock keyboard will never correct your words but "suggest" the correct one in the top of the keyboard, and to put the correct word you should press the suggested one.
That was cool option. Sad that apple is destoyng all good thinks like patent smurf.
And i dont know how patent authorities let them get such patent.
I hate Apple more
