Is it possible to remove the other languages this time around? On standard Swype, you could simply deselect the languages available in settings. Now, it simply has the option to switch between English and Spanish. I accidentally hit the key sometimes, but never use Spanish--so, any way to remove the option completely?

+1 for this request. Accidentally hitting languages I never use is quite annoying.
Hold down on the language button and uncheck Spanish. The language button will still be there, but when you hit it the keyboard won't switch to Spanish... nothing will happen.
Or you could install a different version of Swype.
This is how it used to be, but Unnamed 1.2.0 uses an updated version of Swype which does not have the uncheck ability--only selecting.

Not sure if you're using a different version of Swype on 1.2, but on mine I most certainly can't uncheck languages. Instead, it shows the green circle to the right, where you simply choose which language you want.

Same thing here. But, it's working 98% of the time. I have been using it as my main soft keyboard and it's been solid enough to keep going.

All you need to do is uncheck swype, press home, go back to keyboard settings and enable swype. Then it works. No need to type with another keyboard.

Slightly quicker: In text box just change input method to any other keyboard then change right back to Swype. Don't have to leave the text box.

Don't think I was clear... To get to settings you need to long press the Swype key (should be bottom row far left with the Swype graphic on it) that will launch the options menu (for preinstalled Swype) from witch you would select the settings menu...or if you have Swype Beta installed it will take you directly to settings...
I am using Swype Beta and once in setting I go to language and uncheck espanol thus removing Spanish as an option so no more accidental switching to Spanish in the middle of Swyping.
Apparently this change is made through the phone settings menu if you are using the stock Swype keyboard on a stock or "blur" based rom. In that case go to the thread linked below an follow instructions in the last post.
Hope this helps

I have tried both methods, unfortunately, neither of them works.
The problem with the selection is it is a radiobutton instead of a checkbox for the language option for swype. Therefore, even if you choose English, once you nice figure touch the En/Es button, you are back on learning spanish. No offense, but I have no interesting in learning a new language.
For the stock keyboard, it is fine to unselect the unwanted languages.
This is the biggest and best "feature" of swype, even better than itune. I must say the project manager and developers spent many hours on this bug.

Near as I can figure... Sliding your finger across the spacebar should change the language or access that function. Settings for the stock cm7 keyboard are in phone settings under Language & Keyboard.

I was watching a review of the American version(can't rem which carrier?) and it stated we had choice of three different keyboards...and none was Swype. Man I hadn't planned on rooting immediately, but to get the Swype keyboard, that seems bogus if it doesn't come with it, does anyone know for sure?
If I am not mistaking, I do believe Swype is built into the Samsung keyboard under a different name.

Thankyou, I love Swype. I was just reading through the pages at AndroidCentral.com and they said it this way:
"Those of you used to seeing Swype pre-loaded on Samsung phones can now find this functionality baked into Samsung’s keyboard; to enable it, check the box marked “continuous input” in the keyboard menu."
Is this what you've found cypher? or does the keyboard actually say its the "Swype" keyboard?
I'll prolly know first hand here in just a little while, my GS3 is "Out for Delivery" right now!!

Actually, that's exactly it. It's the "Samsung keyboard" but it's got the 'Swype' functionality. And it's enabled by default.
I don't actually use it or Swype though so I can't comment as to differences or shortcoming, etc.

+1 to FlexT9 keyboard, although I believe the new Swype beta is basically the old FlexT9 and Swype combined as Nuance (creator of FlexT9) bought Swype a while back. The new Swype beta is the first keyboard I've liked over it. I just hope once the beta expires there is a way to purchase it for devices it doesn't come preinstalled on.
I don't like the new T9 (what they're calling Swype) that's built in to the GS3. I was used to Swype on my old Epic, but this version is nowhere near as good. It does have the option to select from a list of possible words, but I have the worst time getting it to accept basic words through "gliding" (not swyping). and end up just typing them when they don't show in the list of suggestions. Granted this is while using my right thumb in one-handed operation, but that's how I used to use Swype with no problems.
If you do type words it doesn't know, it will add them to the dictionary, but I have no idea how to remove them if it's a typo.
It does NOT have Swype.
Samsung keyboard has a swyping feature, but it's very primitive.

EDIT: Found it! When the additional keyboard is enabled (Settings->Languages & Keyboard->Android Keyboard ON), a keyboard icon appears in the notification bar. Dragging down the notification bar shows "Select input method" which then allows for a kb switch.

After you install go into settings, then language settings and enable it, then find an input field, like in messages, then in the status bar you will see the select input, click that and select the android keyboard and you'll be good
