Hello everyone, I am having an issue with Custom Locale application on modaco's 2.2 rom.
What I want to do is, keep the English menus but also have the option for Greek keyboard. Now, there is a locale that changes both menus and keyboard to Greek so the Greek keyboard is there.
Although, when I select the locale for English menus and Greek keyboard(en_GR) it doesn't work, they are both English. Is there a way to modify the locales so I can achieve what I am looking for?
P.S: I also tried adding the locales from inside the application but that didn't work.
Anyone got a solution to this? If no, how can I contact the author of Custom Locale application?
Thanks.
Hello Zenor ,
I am having the same problem with hero , plus when i change to Gr locale dictionary prediction doesn't work for Greek input. enGr doesn't work either(i want to have english menu with a greek alternative keyboard language aswell). What i haven't tested yet though is insert a sim from a Greek mobile provider ,reset my phone and don't highlight the English option in the beginning.Just wait for a a couple of minutes and check if you have the greek input.
Have you guys figured out how to do it or no joy yet?
I'm also interested in having an English menu with a Greek keyboard for messaging (with predictive text preferably).

Sort of a suggestion
I can't help you directly with Arabic or Farsi but i have enabled mine to handle Japanese, so it is possible to use other languages than Latin based alphabets.
My suggestion is that you go to Market and look for Arabic & Farsi soft keyboards. They will usually also come with support for the most popular Arabic/Farsi IME.
The other thing I suppose is that you want support for Right to Left text display? I am not sure if an Arabic IME will come with that support. For example, Japanese can also be written vertically with the columns going from right to left. I haven't found support for that in any of the IMEs. So it will be trial & error.
PS. IME = Input Managing Editor

thanks for answering ..
when i install the keyboards the words on messaging or the web browser in Persian language are shown with space between hem
any Idea
Have you checked in settings? It might have a setting for automatically using space to save time, especially if you mix it up with words in an alphabetic based language.

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?
Hello everybody,
I am an Android User ever since and something that always bugged me was the bad support of multiple languages.
I saw word prediction and autocorrection, as well as the overall performance improving with every new Android version. But still typing in multiple languages is -- to be honest -- a pain in the a*s on Android devices...even on Jelly Bean! (But I got to admit...the stock Jelly Bean keyboard is quite good and the range of supported languages is impressive!)
When I take a look at the variety of countries XDA users and developers come from I just can't believe that there is no sufficient solution.
Or and this is more likely...I am just to blind to find it
My frequently used languages are:
German
English (US)
Korean
Russian
Spanish
(I greyed out the last ones, because I don't use them as often as the other ones.)
Especially Korean causes problems, because it has no direct integration and the recently updated "Google Korean IME" (Play Store Link) has some really weird issues. They state to have it updated to the ICS UI, but the button order honestly is just confusing.
Please take a look at the attached screenshots.
What's bugging me the most is the inconsitent layout in the "Korean IME".
On the Stock Keyboard the button-order in the downmost row is:
Code:
[?123] [,] [(lang-switch)] [space] [.] [search/go/enter]
On the Korean IME, but English Layout it is:
Code:
[한굴] [?123] [(voice-input)] [space] [.] [search/go/enter]
On the Korean IME, but Korean Layout it is:
Code:
[ABC] [?123] [(voice-input)] [space] [.] [search/go/enter]
On the Korean IME, but Special Character Layout it is:
Code:
[(settings)] [한굴] [,] [space] [.] [search/go/enter]
Why isn't the the same order as in the Jelly Bean Keyboard used?
Why can't the settings button be deactivated in the keyboards settings of the Korean IME?
Why does the order of the "back to languages mode" button in the "Special Character Layout" (Korean IME) change from the regular pattern and is completely differing from all the other stock keyboard layouts?
Why are the special characters (alternative pane) in the Korean IME different from the layout in all the other stock keyboard patterns (different set of characters like stars etc.; not even the symbol for "Korean Won" ₩ is on it, neither the circle for degree °)?
Why is the stock keyboard slightly bigger compared to the Korean IME, even though it is supposed to support the new UI?
Why does the english layout of the korean IME use a different autocorrect than the new stock keyboard?
Why does the Korean IME always start up with the English Character-Set shown first (no settings available)? Switching to the Korean IME is in 99% of the use cases done to type with korean characters.
If you are a heavy user in terms of switching fast between multiple languages this gets really annoying, because you very quickly stop taking a look for the buttons and then hit the wrong ones.
And another thing really bugs me as a Mac OS X user...why isn't the language you are typing in autodetected?
I don't really need special keyboards for let's say English/German/Spanish. In the rare occasions I use Spanish I can just select the ñ or other differing characters from the popup. There is no other major difference between the keyboard layouts! And all the other characters are all integrated in the German keyboard (for example) as well...
Why do I have to switch the keyboard all the time? Only for the autocorrect functions?
It makes sense to have a switch for Russian and Korean or all the other languages with non-latin characters, but for the rest? This seems outdated.
Take a look at Mac OS X. The autodetection is done very well and just works.
So XDA...what is your solution to this?
Thank you very much

It's unbelievably stupid. You'd think with Samsung being the largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, Android would have a Korean keyboard! At least everything works on ICS. In JB, the voice input button doesn't switch languages, ever! It's always your default display language. This really isn't that hard, Google! It's as if you have no East Asian customers.
BTW, the Korean IME in the Play store says it's updated for ICS, not JB.
Yeah you are right...they updated to ICS. (Fixed it in the first posting...along with some more typo corrections )
But anyways...as both use the Holo Interface the difference shouldn't be that big. And as far as I could tell from comparing the screenshots...there were no changes made regarding the button order on the stock keyboard from ICS to JellyBean.
Seriously I don't know...
I sent this as an feature request to Google.
I wonder how they handle request...if they actually care about them?
We'll see...
I was wondering if there is a Bilingual keyboard that automatically switches languages when doing the speak to text? I speak Russian and English and I would love to be able to switch between those when trying to type something by speaking. For example, I use swype and I have Russian set as my speak to text and the keyboard is English so I will type in English and when I have to add Russian words in I will speak but I would rather be able to speak English and Russian at the same time.
