Does anyone know how to turn on the User Dictionary on the S3? On my old HTC Desire I could input a word (for example a swear word) and I'd get the option to add the word to the dictionary. Then when I typed it again it wouldn't auto correct it to something different, which is whats happening on my S3 atm.
Thanks

Can't find in predictive text user dictionary to add my shortcuts only learn from Facebook, gmail, twitter and clear data are available. Please help!
Try using Swype beta keyboard
What keyboard you running? Look in your keyboard settings. Otherwise custom keyboards have dictionaries. To enter the new word, usually its the first prediction on the left. Click it once to use it, twice to add to dictionary.
anyone able to edit user dictionary ... or import text file ... right now its learning from facebook and gmail but cannot import it by whatsapp ... software like User Dictionary manager show blank dictionary ... samsung note 2 n7100

I'm using polish language on my chacha. When i write sms i see in notification bar information that xt9 En is enabled. So that everything i write in polish is underlined. I just hate it. Is there any possibility to remove that spell checking? or somehow use polish one? there is no configuration for this under menus i guess. Or I'm just serching in wrong one - no menu about spell check under touch input etc. only text prediction ;/
maybe is there a shortcut on my hardware keyboard?
thank you in advance
Hi,
Recently I started using gesture typing and I prefer it over swype and any third party keyboard I've tried.
Problem is, that I can only get it to work in languages that aren't my native tongue (which is dutch).
But I wouldn't mind using the English dictionary if only I didn't have to add every non-English word I use to the dictionary manually.
So my question is: Does anybody know of a way to make android automatically add every word I type to the dictionary?
So that it can be used in gesture typing from then on?
cheers
PS I do not look for the solution to add the dutch dictionary, because there is none until slim bean comes with a new build that fixes this.
bump
anyobody? shouldt this be an easy thing to manage?
I was also looking for this feature.
Quite easy:
- add new words to your peronal dictionary
- enable 'show correction suggestions' in keyboard settings
That's all

I know quite a few n10 users were a little ticked when Google Keyboard was updated, and a few features were lost. This is quick way to (sort of) get the functionality (plus a little more!) back!
Go to Settings/language&input/google keyboard settings/advanced settings/custom input styles/Add Style.
Set your language, then set Layout to PC, hit Add (You can also set Dvorak here if you want!
Hit Enable
Check the box for (yourlanguage) (PC)
Go to anywhere the keyboard is used (Eg, Google)
Notifications-choose input style
Choose (your language) (PC)
?????
Profit!

Thanks will give it a look. I picked up a copy of Swype while it was on sale over the holidays looking for better !
What are these lost features you are speaking of.

It does seem to work. But, within the first hour or so after getting Kit Kat, losing the keyboard was enough of a pizzer that I checked out alternatives, and ended up buying Keyboard Pro from the Play Store. It cost a couple of bucks, but was worth it for the cursor keys. Don't think I will be going back to the Google PC Keyboard.

System Settings->Language and Keyboard->AOSP Keyboard Settings (or whichever keyboard you use for the default)->Show Correction Suggestions->Always OFF.
You might peek at Advanced Settings->Supress Language Switch, but I don't know if that will help.
Hi,
After a long while with the SGS5, I've decided to go back and try the native Samsung keyboard.
I've installed couple of an additional languages but even after those are selected and I go back to the keyboard - I see "English" written on the space bar but there are no arrows on the left and right of it and swiping over the spacebar does not change to any of the languages even if they are selected in the keyboard settings.
I also went and cleared memory and cache of the "Samsung Keyboard" app. Even though it went back to default settings, selecting an additional language did not turn on the left/right arrows and does not let me switch languages...
I saw that couple users had this problem in the past and the solution was (as a workaround) - try other keyboards. I was wondering if anyone faced this issue and if there is a way to fix that?
Thanks,
Try renaming /system/csc/language.xml
Reboot, choose your preferred language in the settings menu. Then see if the language is available to the keyboard.

I don't have language.xml in /system/csc . Can you please re-confirm the directory name?
Thanks.

There were extensive syntax changes made in 4.4 and it can be challenging to keep track of the old vs new methods. Language.xml would have been for 4.2.2 then. So ignore the advice about language.xml then as the organization has been changed under 4.4.2.
Here are three things you can try.
First try resetting the keyboard language setting. Go the the settings menu
Settings menu > My device > Language and input
and click on the gear icon beside the Samsung keyboard and click reset settings. Now go back and see if you can select the keyboard language you desire.
If not, and it is a single language of interest to you, it will probably suffice on a 900F 4.4.2 ROM to change the default language setting. You can do that by editing /system/csc/customer.xml replacing instances of "en_GB" with the ISO code for your desired language. ISO country codes here. Note that you should use an underscore rather than hyphen and capitalize the country code to the right of the underscore. e.g. en_GB not en-gb.
<DefLanguage>en_GB</DefLanguage>
<DefLanguageNoSIM>en_GB</DefLanguageNoSIM>
If that doesn't work for you or if you want support for multiple languages, then under 4.4.2 then you would likely need to make distributed edits to multiple system apps e.g. settings.apk, systemUI.apk, framework-res.apk. There is a patch thread to do this for Motorola devices here. That won't help you directly but could serve as a template as to what is necessary if you are ambitious.
A more practical approach may be to consider migrating to a custom ROM where the multiple edits to enable multiple language support are already in place e.g. the S5 Phoenix ROM.

Thanks for the detailed suggestion, I did some more digging and found the fix. Apparently, if you are allowing any app to use the "accessibility" features (I'm using Tasker for example), the multi-language option on the Samsung keyboard will not work. Once I turned off the accessibility option for Tasker - the keyboard worked fine. Turned the Accessibility back on and the multi-language gone again.
Luckily, I don't need Tasker to sense any activity related to accessibility so I'm all good but this is probably a long-lasting bug since Galaxy S4 I think; looks like the phone does not like any other app to be able to use these accessibility permissions.
I had the same problem with my Samsung Galaxy S7. I read several threads that said go to Settings and Language and Input but nothing more than that. When ya in Language and Input, go to Virtual Keyboard and then add the languages you want there.
A happy Samsung convert
