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).
As a foreign language student I often find myself looking for ways to use the language I'm learning/have learned on my winmo device. At first this can be very daunting as there are a lot of options out there, so I wanted to make this thread to consolidate any freeware or other options there are working for the current builds of winmo.
If people think this is a good idea I'll link this thread on the wiki. Please post any language inputs you have with a cab or a working link and I'll update the thread to include them.
INPUTS:
Chinese
Pinyin inputs
ZTA4 - (by far the BEST free pinyin input out there)
Non-Touchscreen
QVGA Touchscreen
VGA Touchscreen
WVGA Touchscreen with HTC skin (Recommended)
Handwriting inputs
Samsung Handwriting Input - VGA/WVGA Fullscreen input
Korean
Multiple Input Methods
Moakey v2 WVGA - Includes hand input, keyboard input, etc.
Japanese
Multiple Input Methods
Handwriting + Kana Input VGA/WVGA - Not touch friendly [Original Thread]
Touch Friendly Input - This is a cab I made combining touchkeysip + gesture10key SIP. NOTE: This is not an IME, you must separately install a japanese IME and use 411 japanese keyboard for it to work, but if you do it is an excellent touch friendly layout for something like the HD2.
Handwriting
Careace Japanese Writing Input - Includes font, original site here
Edit: If you have any stable working input methods for any language, please let me know.
Whatever language input you decide to install you will need a display font to go along with it. If you might be using more than one language its best to go with one of the multiple ones listed at the top, but if you are sure to only use one language a dedicated single font will provide more robust support.
FONTS:
M8 CJKT Doggold v2 - Supports Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Thai
Ko_jp_cn - More robust Chinese/Japanese/Korean support, but no thai.
Sunglobe - Small Chinese Simplified font with Trad support
Microsoft Yahei - Supports all simp and Trad Characters and most Japanese, it is supposed to support Korean as well, but I can't get it to display.
Korean Font by Careace - Original website here

I don't want to post anything I haven't either A) personally tested or B) been recommended by another forum member.
I'll work on finding some japanese input solutions later today, as well as expanding the chinese inputs to include zhuyin, wubi, and maybe cangjie methods.
If anyone out there has a reliable input method, please share. In particular I think we need to find a korean method.

But can't make it works, even with PQzII on my HD2

Ok, I'm working on a solution. Can you tell me exactly what it does? Can you bring up the keyboard at all? Will it type, or is it showing boxes, or only typing english?
can't find japanese keyboard. (the shift - ctrl - ctrl - shift can't work... don't have ctrl key )
and with pzqII when i lauch it, i have a white square in the middle of "start" word on top left, and can't activate anything.

If you look in the original thread that I posted next to the japanese input, you will find that you have to go into the registry and manually change the keyboard to 411 instead of 409 (english).
I'm trying to find a way to avoid doing that, as both the chinese and korean inputs I have don't require that, but so far no dice.
nevermind, forgot to reset the the phone. hah.. 0_o
ok just tried editing peoples names in korean with moakey v2. and installed the korean font cab but doesn't seem to display any korean..
errm did I miss something?

I strongly recommend the M8 CJKT cab, its worked the best for me so far.
I'm using it plus moakey + zta4 on my phone right now and they both work fine.
Remember, you may have to reset a couple of times when dealing with fonts and inputs.

that's a good solution when you use for long time japanese input.. but in my case, i wont go to registry and change a key every 5 seconds! :/
but, there's nothing hurry, i finally can't use the program i wanted, so i keep searching for a kanji learner / dictionnary, with japanese inputs AND handwriting :/
Have you by chance tried this WVGA version of ZTA4?

I need a WVGA Chinese pinyin input method, one that's 6.5 compatible for my Rhodium based phone.
Nevermind, fixed this!
Hello, this thread has been incredibly helpful, thanks !
I have a little problem, I can't make Moakey & Samsung handwriting (chinese) work together... Only the last installed works and seems to disable the first installed. I think they have conflicting files or something?
For example, if Moakey is installed, then if I install Samsung handwriting, it disables handwriting in Moakey.
Any solutions? I have installed them both on internal storage, then tried to put one in internal and one in external, but no success...
You should try Mobem Software's CE-Star, and CE-Star Suite. They have keyboards, handwriting, stroke... and many others and mutiple languages.
I just tried your ZTA4, which is very nice. I think I prefer it as a keyboard Pinyin input to that of Mobem's.

hi thanks for these info. i'm really look forward to zhuyin input. coz i can only know how to use zhuyin input in tranditional chinese.
by the way, i use htc diamond 2 wm6.5 english version. are they competiable with my phone? i've tried ezinput 2.1, but it's failed. i know it'll work on other rom, but i'll prefer to keep wm6.5.

The First One ZTA4 WVGA version works well, although the keyboard seems to continuously make itself the default. I have a Blackstone, HTC HD T8282, also running a WM 6.5.+ ROM, but cannot comment on Rhodium. Can't see why it should be different though. Good Luck. BTW, I have still only found CE-Star to fully display Characters in all applications, Mail, Calendar, Home, Contacts, etc.
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

guess it should work (let me know if it does )
and found this on my pc: should be multilangual.. with german if i
remember correctly (flash in recovery)
OR from android market..

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

I have czech language keyboard layout with 4 rows (1 row is with special characters instead of numbers) so will a bluetooth keyboard work according to chosen SW keyboard layout or is it already set as any bluetooth keyboard is?
Thanks
Answer:
so....have just bought usb host and wireless Logitech MK710 CZ (keyb.+mouse 3 years battery life) works perfect with czech special letters!
So it probably depends on the keyboard. So dont need to invest in a new keyboard
So Android has no competitors ....again
bump...im also interested in this
I have tried it with a USB keyboard but I guess it will be the same on the Bluetooth one. It depends what layout is selected on the Tab - if it is Czech then you will write with this layout. This however works only using Samsung's keyboard or Go Keyboard. When I have selected Swype - the typing is with US layout, no matter which layout was chosen.
Please, could you try Hackers keyboard and set czech language??
Thank you!

Doesn't work, sorry. The top row of the keyboard is typing numbers instead of accented characters.
So,
is there any way to type these characters? Perhaps changing smthin' in the system?
I'm afraid that a keyboard itself must be built for an appropriate language

No, this is software issue. Is there a Czech layout for Go Keyboard?
Unfortunately it doesn't have
So is it an android software issue or a keyboard software issue?
It is an issue with the layout, which is in the tablet. I would try searching for a keyboard for the tablet where you can make your layout - map keys to characters. This way you can customize your keyboard as you wish.

So it probably depends on the keyboard as it should be!
