Hi,
On my old phone I always used to type with the Google Keyboard. Mostly switching between English and Dutch with the button next to the space bar.
Now, on my Honor 7, I don't have the option to select English when choosing languages.
I can only choose either "Use system language" OR one or more "Active input methods" but that last one does not include English.
Anybody with the same issue or a solution for this?
Related but not such a big issue. My layout should be azerty but is now qwerty.
Thanks in advance

Use swype keyboard, it's far better and you can set any language, even two of them.
Isn´t the original Huawei standard keyboard actually a Swype version?

It is indeed. Just switch to English and adjust variables as you wish.

I have the same issue and don't want to use the swipe keyboard. I can only select Dutch or English, not both at the same time and then switch via the space bar.
Send from my Honor 7 using the free xda app.
You can select both languages and switch them with the space bar.

The strange thing is, when I choose my local language, I can choose any additional language, but not English...
I used this keyboard before on other phones, no issues there.

Check thoroughly through all language settings, there is a ton of them and somewhere you have even Chinese as a second language preset. I adjusted all settings and I can select both languages as you can see on attached pictures.
Similar problem
I have got Honor 7 just couple of days ago but have already noticed that Google Keyboard is missing a lot of layouts, especially the one I really appreciated - Uzbek. I have had Galaxy S4 before and installed Google Keyboard from Play Store and it has much more layouts available.
Anyone knows if there is any way to uninstall preinstalled Google Keyboard from Honor 7 and reinstall it from Play Store?

You simply must root your phone, remove google keyboard from system (make sure to install a keyboard app before you do so) then reinstall it.
Or try updating the app if possible

Yeah, I came to the same conclusion. I wrote to Huawei support their reply is the standard "If the language is not available on the Google keyboard settings then I'm afraid there's no support for that language"

@Jixop Go to Language & Input settings, you'll have options there to enable various languages.

I was able to solve this! I upgraded to Android 6 and was able to disable the preinstalled Google Keyboard. Then I installed its clone from an .apk and then I have finally found Uzbek layout!

From what I understood back before ICS there was no way to add another input language dictionary to an already compiled version of android on a phone. So most keyboards with multilingual support have separate language packs which can be downloaded optionally. However, this means you had to choose to use a keyboard other than the built in Android keyboard.
Now that ICS is out I flashed it on my Nexus S and noticed there are add-on dictionaries in the Language & input setting in Android Keyboard under "Keyboard & Input Methods" (click the 3 sliders to your right) and then towards the bottom under "Text correction" clicking on add-on dictionaries brings up a page with all available. Some are installed and some can be installed. Unfortunately none with the language I want.
So My question is, how do I add another add-on dictionary and has this issue been fixed in the new Android ICS 4.0?
Here is some additional info I found over the months of FroYo and GB input language dictionary issue:

Here is the exact keyboard but with some additional language packs which, unlike Google's, can be added later:

Anyone? Bump...

This is very interesting for me too. I don't see Norwegian in the list, but I'm hoping once the Galaxy Nexus is released in Norway, the add-on dictionary will pop up in that list
I have a UK Galaxy Nexus, but this would also be interesting for everyone on custom roms who would like to use the standard keyboard and who are not writing in english.
+1 for this message.
Portuguese appears on the list, but there's no dictionary available for download.
+1 for this. I have the same problem on my Galaxy Nexus. There is a refresh button on the dictionary list so maybe Google will eventually add it but nothing so far.
Wait. So Android 4.0, the newest bestest Android version ever...
Is just for English users. Seriously?
I just thought/assumed it was a shortcoming in the current experimental builds I was running. This makes me seriously reconsider putting money into the Galaxy Nexus.

NO.
Currently the system KEYBOARD have: english, Cestina, Nederlands, Francais, Deutsch, Italiano, Russian and Espanol.
and we're awaiting more to come as it checks online for more dictionaries downloads.
But is it going to be possible to set the phone language to English, but set the language for spelling correction to Dutch? I know you can set the keyboard language to Dutch and install the Dutch dictionary but that only show correction suggestions in the bar above the keys and not if you touch the word. So now every Dutch word I type gets underlined even though I've set the keyboard language to Dutch. It doesn't do that if I set the system language to Dutch.

4.0.3 is supposed to be the "baseline" release of ICS, according to JBQ from Google.
The source is now available and so is some unofficial builds.
Has anyone checked them out to see if they include anything new in this regard?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Running aosp 41 which is great but nothing more other than what was already mentioned in add-on dictionaries. I assume it could be included in the ROM when compiling bu tthe developer has not answered my question on this yet. You could probably just compile the keyboard apk and replace the default. I know this was possible on GB because CyanogenMod 7 initially had about 100 dictionaries for the HeroC but sometime down the road it was cut out from the build to save space.
Is there any new news of how to add dictionary to Android ICS??
Bump.
Anyone solved this?
I've been trying to solve this weird problem since I started using android.. Not that i really miss the feature, but just because I can't stand it not being solved.
I use a USA (Verizon) droid 3 in the Netherlands. I used morelocale2 to set it to country: the Netherlands and language: English because by default I can only choose English and Spanish. With morelocale it works fine.
When I press the mic key in my homescreen, it uses dutch voice recognition (which works flawlessly btw). But when I want to use this voice recognition in any other app, it says "voice dictation does not support current language". When I change the input language under multi-touch keyboard settings to English, it will English voice.
I don't understand why it says it doesn't support it!! It DOES, as I can use it in the homescreen without any problems!
Thanks
This has not been fixed in Jelly Bean either.
Text correction is just available in a few, select languages. Availability of languages doesn't seem very improved since ICS, but the list has gotten a little longer.
It seems absurd though, that we should not be able to add our own dictionaries.

But other phones in my country that are "native" European phones can use voice dictation in all apps.
For me it doesn't work, even though it works in my home screen. There must be something I can change..
Can't load English UK dictionary
I have an excellent 5.7" MT6589 device known as STAR or BLUEBO B6000. I can set the system language to English UK and select the additional English UK dictionary and it says it's downloading but it never seems to load and the keyboard spell checker thinks that every word is wrong. This seems to be an issue with a few of the available ROMs, mostly based on 4.1.1. Any suggestions.
Hey there.
Was wondering how i can get other languages (other than english) on google voice search. I use english and italian. If i choose "add other languages" they are all greyed out and i cant click to download any of them.

Many thanks

Also, this has nothing to do with Galaxy S2, This is a generic Android question and should be asked in Android forum.
Is there anyways to add korean to the HTC keyboard?
I looked in languages on the keyboard and korean wasn't one of the options.
The look and feel of the keyboard is great but if there isnt korean I cant use it.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Google korean keyboard
Hi, I guess you're Korean because you're looking for Korean keyboard right? I'm also Korean but I thought I better leave my answer in English.
Anyways, I guess Google Korean Keyboard is the only option we got here. I purchased S4 because of that language issue but I can't resist htc zoe's features so I'm going to swap my S4 with htc one.

I was trying to find that too. So I got Kii keyboard and downloaded the Korean keyboard. The Kii Keys are surprisingly easy to use.
Oddly enough, there is a system language option for Korean, but no matching Korean keyboard option.

Really? I couldn't see any Korean option from System Language.
Are you using htc One? then what country are you at?
Im in the USA.
When you first start or after a factory reset you can choose Korea for the language but the keyboard is non existance.
what are they thinking...
the HTC keyboard is really nice though
think ill send them a lil email.
Ok I got a response from them and this is what they say:
Dear danny chun,
Thank you for contacting HTC Technical Support, Danny.
In this specific case as your HTC One does not have this option (Due to different version of keyboard), I would suggest you to install a third-party application to use it for Korean language.
There are many apps (some of them are for free) that you can check at:
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=korean+keyboard&c=apps
As these are third-party applications, HTC does not support or warranty any of them, and its implementation is at your discretion. I will be looking forward to your response if further assistance is required.
As always, we are here to answer any technical questions or concerns you may have between 8am to 1am, 7 days a week for your convenience, or by phone at 1-866-449-8358.
Thank you for contacting HTC and have a great day.

So there is no way it seem... T.T
it's so frustrating.. even if you download third party apps for this phone, you can't even select it as a choice for keyboard.
Even if you click the (on) position for the third party keyboard there is no way to actually use the keyboard.
This brings you back to selecting "keyboard options" in HTC Sense Input which does absolutely nothing...
Anyone find a fix or way around this??

Have you tried Google's Korean IME? https://play.google.com/store/apps/...29nbGUuYW5kcm9pZC5pbnB1dG1ldGhvZC5rb3JlYW4iXQ..
(edit: I see a link was provided to the play store previously, with Google's IME being the first option on that page)
I will make a Korean HTC Sense based Keyboard unless someone from South Korea has the korean HTC One M9 and would care to share the APK
Hello everyone,
Since besides English I speak German and Hungarian, i would like to edit the keyboard layout of my Galaxy Note running CyanogenMod 9.0.0 to create my own with all the letters I need. I tried searching the Web and this site for it, but couldn't find out how to do that. It would be great if someone would help me.
Greetings,
Patrick

Yes, English (India). It worked when I was on lineage. Stopped working on nitrogen os. I'm now on aosp extended.
@Adarsh2000 Needs English (US) for it to work. Or even English (UK), if it has finally launched in the UK.
Change language, maybe connect to a US VPN and Clear Data from the "Google App" and you should have it back.
