keyboard layouts

is it possible to have more than 1 keyboard layout installed and switch between them? or maybe have the software keyboard have a different layout than the hardware keyboard?

anyone any idea?

I have never managed to use the hardware keyboard to write Greek characters but there are many options for software keyboards. I use Language Extender.

some guy told me to use PocketCM Keyboard, which i did download and install, but i just prefer stuff thats not an addon as it slows things down etc.

How to install xT9 French keyboard ?

ok... I need your help.
I asked in the Energy rom thread but without any answer...
So here is the deal :
I have the Energy.DIAMOND.21903.Titanium.LITE.May.10 and I struggle to change the xT9 language to french. I used to change it in Settings\Personal\Input, then Options and I used to have the choice between different languages. Now it's only written "English" and I can't select nor change it.
I tried to install additional keyboards but it didn't change anything.
I searched and I found some clues about changing the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\DefaultLanguage" to the one corresponding to French(010C), and after a softreset, I can see the French language is set under Input\Options, but the keyboard layout is missing the Spacebar and the 4 arrows at the bottom are not displayed. I can click on them but there is no drawing, just a empty field with some weirds artefacts.
I found that by editing the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\ezsip\BioToShowMenu" to "1", it pop up a menu, and let me switch from English to French without messing too much with the registry, but the graphical glitch is still there, I tried french, german... still buggy (missing spacebar graphic, xt9/abc switch is active but always displays xT9 as selected, the 4 arrows at the bottom are filled with colors artefacts)
I can't be the only one having this issue, I'll appreciate your help.
Thanks (a lot !)

[Q] Change the language?

Is it possible to change the language of the nook color? Or at least change the configuration of the keyboard so the autocomplete and autocorrect is in spanish?
Thanks

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I cannot speak for spanish, but I can read/type Chinese quite easily with a couple of keyboards that support pinyin (chinese input). A quick glance shows quite a few options: http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/spanish keyboard

I change the language of the nook color with morelocale2.
I'll see what I can do with the keyboard. I'm sure swift Key have spanish, but the menu appears white text over white background, so I can't choose the language... Maybe I'll just try them all.

I was able to change the language of two keyboards, SwiftKey and Smart Keyboard. One with a long press in the mic button and the other with a long press in the ABC button.
Sadly, Swift Key uses predictions for both languages at the same time, mixing them, so I had to chose Smart Keyboard as a default, even though I like the former better.

[Q] Fast way to change or switch your Keyboard Language?

I've been hunting this issue on XDA but I've not found a solution, it's the eternal issue of keyboard switcher. I speak several languages, like a lot of people here. It is a royal pain to manually switch from english to french to spanish and back and forth. everytime i want to write in one language i have to change the entire locale.
So far, I found this:
-apowersms (if you go to setting, there is a language filter, which is very interesting because you can choose which language keyboard you need) (and the keyboard layout isn't so bad looking)
- softkeyboard (for the keyboard button, when you press it long, you can directly change to the language you want)
I'm trying to find, how to create a custom shortcut maybe to switch between the languages that I speak. something like this, so that I can switch languages for my gingerbread keyboard.
Does anyone out there have a better solution for my problem. let me know.
thanks

Using stock keyboard, go to the keyboard settings and search for something like "languages". Select the languages you want to use. Now swipe your finger on the space key to switch between the selected languages

The Beta worked for about 14 days, and then the phone started doing some random hangs. and after not being able to type anything in a SMS i changed the keyboard back, and my phone is now normal.
Cool keyboard, but might cause problems....

when the beta stops working you might want to try Perfect Keyboard, and Smart keyboard, they have similar options, except importing SMS into dictionary.

Thanks for it
I will try and see

Go Keyboard problems
1. I use the speech recognition a lot. When I set the Voice Key to 'On main keyboard' I loose the Comma key.
Is there any way I can get both the voice key and the comma key on the main screen?
2. When I use the voice recognition (the Voice Recognition is great, 90% or better) but if I try to edit the phrase it shows because a letter is incorrect. I put the cursor to the right of the letter and hit backspace or space and it pastes the whole phrase in again in the middle of the phrase I am trying to edit. Any idea how to avoid this?
I really like Go Keyboard, but these 2 things are driving me nuts.
Regards,
Mark
