Hi. Writing this from my tablet, and using the keyboard. English is pretty easy to write, since it doesnt use any `special` letters.. But whenever i want to write in norwegian its a lot harder - the keymap is all wrong.
I`ve tried to set everything to norwegian, but nothing seems to work.
I read somewhere that one could pull the file that controls the keymap, and change it to fit your needs, but i dont know where I can find it?
or is there an easier fix to this?
its been reported that a complete restock and a normal update would fix the problem, but im kinda fond of overcome, so im looking for the .. harder way out of this mess.
Anyone? :>
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

I have tryed this one myself. It workes perfect with T9!
Thanks Bensat,
But that's not what I'm looking for.
I mean when I use the keyboard(hardware one) I don't know if was on when I just get the phone, or maybe on another ROM
But when I was typing with keyboard, not only was T9 activate, but also memorize other words (my phone language is English, but I'm writing in Spanish, and Catalan) adding it to the database...
Anyone has idea of where to get it?
It may be only on Black Majic ROM ?(I think was that one the previous)
regards

I have seen an solution for you're question on this forum. Look around and you'll find it also!
Hey sniuk just check out your previously post in Hermes Mobile 6..I gave you the solution..
Ok, I'm from Nowrway, and have installed Tom_Codons ROM, The only problem is that it is missing 3 letters, æ,ø,and å.
Is it possible to extract these letters from a Norwegian Rom, and add it to Tom's?
That would have been great
And while I write this new thread.
I have to use the "abc" input method because Tom's Rom, doesen't got Norwegian xT9. Is it Possible to add that? That would have been even greater
I thourght it was only in Denmark we use ÆÅØ hehe, but would be nice to know, there is a lot of nice roms that is a pain to use becorse they are missing that

You are right *G* i thinked the same
We got it in Norway to
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzæøå
Hehe
And you guy's from Denmark don't know how to do it either?
Workaround that kinda works....
Hi Guys,
I'm not a Rom Chef nor a Dev guy.
However, I've been struggling with the same problem. My way to work around it was to to add my Danish words into the 'autocorrect' file on your device and "teaching" the customer dictionary the words for it.
E.g by typing FAAR, autocorrect with fix it to FÅR, KAERE to KÆRE and KOERE to KØRE. Spelling of the old days, but it works
A number of steps to do to get there the first time, so I suggest you search the forum for the thread that explains best to you how to amend the autocorrect file.
As I said, not the ideal solution, but it works for me until a better alternative is available.
My two cents worth.
I have tried several apps that claim to support a German layout with BT keyboards, but none of them worked.
I then opened system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl and replaced y and z so I at least have a basic qwertz-layout.
Now I'm stuck. I have no idea what to put in there to get umlauts working and I'm starting to think that changes in the qwerty.kl alone won't be able to get me a fully working German layout
Can anyone help me out here? Google didn't help much
EDIT: Sorry for posting this in the wrong forum. This obviously belongs to themes and apps...
take a look at this thread

Thank you. That'll come in handy once my NC works with my keyboard again
First of all, thanks for this forum -- rooted my NT (first android device) yesterday using the instructions here and it's delightful.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had a solution or workaround for using multiple dictionaries?
I'd like to be able to read foreign language content using the instant lookup function, but it seems that this is not built into the nook (unbelievable). Being able to replace the default English-English dictionary would also be great. Although this is a feature on the Kindle, it isn't available on the Kindle for Android app (also unbelievable). I looked at other eReader software, but "dictionary support" seems to amount to ColorDict. I'd be more than happy to splash out for some quality dictionaries, but only if I can integrate them into the reader.
The only thing I've been able to find is this, a Russian language forum where the OP seems to have gone into the file system and manually replaced the stock dictionary. I'll gladly do that if it comes down to it but was wondering if there was a less tedious / more obvious way.

I tried to figure out how to change the language to German last night, but had no lucky at it. ("ro.sys.locale.language" is set to "de", as well as the country code is "DE" but yet nothing has changed.)
I think that the B&N Nook shows an incredible lack of foreign language support, and is basically I guess targeted as a "US only" device. This probably explains why the Out Of Box Experience only presents one with US timezones when it starts up. v_v
So frustrating/ridiculous! Yes, it's a "US device" but it's foolish of B&N to ignore the tens of millions of people in the US who speak or study other languages (Spanish speakers alone are pushing 30 million).
I hope the hack I mentioned in my original post works. Still waiting on my SD card to try it out.
Anyway, I posted on the B&N forums about this:
bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com/t5/NOOK-Tablet-Ideas-Suggestions/Bilingual-amp-3rd-Party-Dictionary-Support/idi-p/1262799
If anyone agrees please click the laurel leaf icon so that this issue can (maybe) get some attention.
I agree... it actually upsets me quite often that US companies typically completely ignore other languages within the US.
Apple? First thing it asks me is "what language do you want to use?" They built that flexibility in from the start. On Windows? You buy the English version, and you're stuck with English (yes, Vista and later, you can download language packs after). So, then end up having to customize and sell different copies of the OS to every different market.
OSX: we build one binary, and hey, look it works.
Windows: we have to build a different binary for every different language, and oh, some of them might not work, because English is treated specially from all of the other languages.

My personal workaround for the time being --
I downloaded the German version of Kindle for Android, which comes with a built-in monolingual Duden dictionary. (Fortunately my German is strong enough for this to work. Quite useless for other languages/ability levels though.)
The downloaded dictionary appears to be visible in the file system with *.mpb and *.prc file extensions. I wonder if it would be possible simply to manually swap them out with a dictionary in the same format?
Install coolreader and colordict, then downlowd whatever dictionaries you need. There are many dictionaries available online.
@wwmhf -- After reading your post I decided to dig a little deeper. I downloaded GoldenDict and then discovered lingvodics.com.
Okay, absolutely no more angst over this issue. Thanks!

Hello could you please update the title and add [resolved] at the start.
Thanks

Hi, try d/l an app from the market called more locale. Don't know if that suit your need of the dictionary thing, but definitely give your NT more locale to choose from (with most of the menus and some system apps name translated).
I'm on a rooted device with snowball mod in HK and wanted to play with the google voice search function for Cantonese and find no way of activating it since I can't choose any language apart from English US and UK (duh....)
After installing the more local app, I can select google voice to work with Cantonese search.
Perhaps Veronica can considering putting this under the NT Tips and Trick sticky for other poor souls that need an alternate locale.

Hey pal... I´m thinking about buying a Nook Touch. It´s cheaper and more beautiful than eReaders available in Germany. Nonetheless, I´m Brazilian - neither English nor German is my native language. I would like to have this Duden Dictionary for German books and whatever the original platform has for the english language.
How could I do that? Would you make a tutorial step-by-step for me? I´m totally rookie on these issues.
Thanks!
I have had issues with Swype since installing the first ICS, where it would stop working, cause the screen to freeze at the most inconvenience times. I thought I was alone with this problem, it appears not here.
I tried troubleshooting, reinstalling, clearing cache, uninstalling, reinstalling, fresh boot with nothing else loaded, nothing worked and I don't know what my problem must of been and was surprised I couldn't find anything else with it.
I searched for an alternative keyboard that would cut the mustard, I don't mind paying for things, but found slideIt not particularly good on the trial, also I do like the way Swype worked when it worked, so was looking for something similar, think I found it below.
I'm not one to normally worry about bothering anyone else, however after my woes of Swype and getting pretty much to the point of going back to Gingerbread because of it I have been very impressed, you can also utilize the unconventional keyboard layout if you wish.
Give it a go, worth it, for free anyway!

Good you found someone else with the issue but still there are far many more including me who got zero issues.
I always wipe before and after flashing.
I always use stock ROM or AOSP.
I format system every Time I went frm one type to other.
And I only use Swype as I'm used to it and even thinking about typing is tyring.

Yea cheers for that oinkylicious (WAC), I stated I do not normally post something, but found a benefit to myself that others may assist from. Personally I prefer Comic Sans - and?!
May I take it from your comment you don't want me to post any more.
I'll just observe, good job everyone doesn't just do that, xda would be dead and buried...
Go troll and spread your love elsewhere if you've no post related comment or have any form of positive input..
