I bought the General Keys Bluetooth keyboard (http://www.amazon.de/GeneralKeys-Bluetooth-Mini-Tastatur-iPad-andere-Bluetooth-Geräte/dp/B004HKQ8V4) But it has only the english Layout on my HTC Flyer.
How can i change it?
Are you rooted? If so you might be able to edit "/system/usr/keychars/", other than that I'm not sure. If you install a different language for your keyboard does it switch the character set?

I am not rooted but i'm not afraid of doing if it will make the keyboard work But i have no idea how to change the "keychars" also if I'd be rooted, you might have to explain that to me
I already used the App External Keyboard (test version) but the only thing that happened was that now some keys (e.g. "s" or "w") start apps and i can't even write with the english layout anymore

Hi,
is there a way to change the soft keyboard (displayed when clicking on the keyboard-symbol) from qwety to qwertz ?
I do NOT mean the setting to change it on the hardware-keyboard (registry entry) which works.
I assume the settings are in the registry as well. Any hints?
i also want to know the answer.
i guess it need some new resource file for the setting?
I'm not sure but i think i know the Prob!
I use an external Keyboard with German Layout, the Softkeyboard works with some registry changes.
The external Keyboard use maybe the Registrykey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD
The important Values are:
"Keyboard SubType"=0
"Keyboard Type"=4
Type 4 is for english, and i don't know the german value, i think it is dangerous to change it to any value, without know how.
Maybe also the prob is the Key:
"DriverName"=keybddr.dll
If it is the problem you must generate a german driver with the SDK!
As i said before, i'am not sure but this are my results and i'am also looking for a solution!
I hope that was a little help!
You could also try Resco Keyboard Pro
I mean Resco Keyboard is a a Softkeyboard,
i have described the problem about german qwertz layout support, for external Hardware Keyboard and that is not the same registry settings like softkeyboard qwertz layout!
The Prob is still the same!
I don't think that the solution for the softkeybord will work on Athena too, but maybe you can find a similar way.
This works for Trinity and Hermes devices, but both have only a QVGA screen.

Looks good, but it don't solve the Problem with an external Keyboard, i mean Hardware USB-Keyboard!
Still qwerty!
I am also very keen to find a solution to this. I am using a Finnish usb:n keyboard and need to have the 'ä' and 'ö' working.
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.

I am using the stock Samsung keyboard that comes with the S3, and would like to use a language not included in the 37 languages under the 'input languages' menu/setting. Is there any way to install an additional language (Hebrew) to this keyboard without using a different one?
Thanks

My phone is still on preorder, so if you add install another keyboard, say swiftkey, can you use your preferred language, do the characters show properly?
I'm running Android-x86 on ASUS laptop. I want to add a physical keyboard layout that simulate a gamepad. I know that I can edit Generic.kl to achieve this, but the problem is when I want to type some text, I must restore the original Generic.kl, then reboot, which is inconvenient.
I can add another language layout, for example French, and easily switch back and forth with Ctrl+Space. Since I only use English, the idea is that I will edit some language file to make it simulate gamepad, but I looked in /system/usr/keychars and there's no language-specific file there, only Generic.kcm. So where is these file? Or how can I add a custom keyboard layout?

I`m looking for these files as well. I know it`s been 6 years (lol), but do you know where I can find the language layouts?
Thanks.

Could you please develop a QWERTY keyboard as well. Please?
There are some good QWERTY keywords out there. What problem do you have with them?

Eh, not fully sure exactly what's needed... but will this help?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_(Unicode_block)
Maybe you want me to try to lay them in a similar style like you did? or it has some particular name so I'll search for it?

You can find an old phone with a physical keyboard, and send me some screenshots of its keyboard layout.

Can you type all the characters in the attached image here in the same order? It helps me to find the Unicodes easier.
Ok, I'll write each number with the letters on it:
2 - דהו
3 - אבג
4 - מםנן
5 - יכךל
6 - זחט
7 - רשת
8 - צץק
9 - סעפף

Hebrew is added to the new version. Please update the keyboard and check it, and kindly inform me if there are any problems.

When I'm at a field that it is needed to type with a keyboard, I can use the Google keyboard, but when I switch to the multi tap keyboard, The multi tap keyboard does not open.
Hi, thank you for adding Hebrew.
But for me as well it's not opening now the keyboard unless I switch to the Google one
Sorry for that, please check the new version I just released.

There is been a change in the new API that broke a small part of the keyboard. I fixed it in the new version.
Well, I tested it now,
And it works mostly, I already forgot how actually T9 was fast, for a smartwatch it makes more sense than qwerty I think...
But there's 1 bug I guess, when something is typed already, the Globe icon supposed to turn into a delete icon and act like it, but what happens is that the delete works but it stays as a globe icon.
Another bug is (I think it happens now on English as well) the button to switch to numbers/symbols, it works but the actual view stays on the letters.
And on Hebrew, there are no big or small letters, so the button where it supposed to switch it, acts as inputting of something that I'm not sure what it is lol.
Another feature request (maybe it's not possible) add a microphone button for speach to text for the current language (I'm still hoping to be able to dictate on Hebrew to the watch)
But overall, it works great!! I can't even tell you how happy I am for this! thank you!!!
