Hi,
Just bought a new Qtek 9090 here in France. I was very interested in changing the ROM over to an English version but I wonder if changing from French to English ROM will cause a problem with the keyboard.
Here in France they use the AZERTY keyboard whereas most of the world uses the QWERTY keyboard. I looked around in the settings and couldn't find anything that lets me select a English keyboard so if I did manage to swap the ROM does that mean that I would be stuck with QWERTY software and AZERTY hardware?
TIA for any help,
Dimitri
Did you get a good deal on the phone or something? Why didn't you just purchase the QWERTY version? IE: PDA2K.
There in "GENERAL" it's a thread that can help you to remap the keyboard.
It's unfinished project but You can try it.

Brazilian Portuguese Keyboard

Hi, I have a Kaiser from UK and i want to use a spanish T9. Can someone help me do this without reflashing a new rom?
Thanks in advanced!!!!!!!1
is there t9 in qwerty keyboards?
as far as i know theres no t9 in qwerty keyboards except for word suggestions after you type a letter but you can activate that going into the menu good luck
That´s very easy. There are lots of freeware solutions!!! just search in this forum or:
Try the Original HTC phone pad (multilanguage) : http://www.gaehn.org/uploads/downloads/Dark_PhonePad_Int.zip
Or try the HTC KeyboardDual Multilanguage:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344533
After installing one or both, go to Settings/Input, chose the keyboard and change in options the language!
Both are very good. I use them as well!
Or search with google for freeware!!!
Guys, girls
Don't know if anyone have posted this yet, but here it goes.
It seems that there are many languages preinstalled in the OS, just not activated. In a simple procedure, i changed my OS language and got the dictionary of my native language (
T9 norwegian if anyone wonders), and it works with everything from widgets, settings blablabla..
I found this trick at
http://www.swedroid.se/forum/showpost.php?p=18162&postcount=32
For those of you that don't understand swedish, it goes as follows:
Download CustomLocale.apk from here: http://yochai.dyndns.org:8888/android/apps/CustomLocale.apk
*Edit, uploaded to another mirror: HERE
Then copy it to your sdcard. Use a apk installer to install the program. Then launch the app, choose your language, and quit.
Voila
No rooting etc.
Some have responded that some of the languages dont work. This swedish guy didnt manage to get his sv_SE language to work. He then just manually entered a new locale "sv", and then it worked. Might happen for ur country aswell (?).
Edit: Languages that reportedly works _with_ keyboard layout:
Norwegian Bokmål: nb
Swedish: sv
Spanish: ES
cheers
Wow, I'm superinterested in this. I have a Dutch Hero and I wanted the Spanish Keyboard. Tiddylicious, can you confirm that this provides the HTC autocorrection dictionaries and not only the keyboard layout?
By the way, the link to the download seems to be down...
Norwegian autocorrection works. Don't know how it is for other languages sry, so i guess u just have to test.
Let me know
I've tried and it hasn't worked for me :-(
The phone OS indeed changed to Spanish. Every menu and option are now in Spanish, except what I wanted the keyboard language. This still lets me only chose among the default installed ones. Any help?
EDIT:
It worked!!! Thanks man! You don't imagine how grateful I'm for this. I've been using the keyboard until now without the prediction and correction features, such an improvement now.
There were two options for Spanish es_ES and ES only. The second one did the trick.
Does it work on Magic?
No idea, sorry. It worked for me on the Hero, don't know if it will on the Magic.
It does.
The application was created in July.
I`ve bought my english version Hero in Norway about 1 week ago. , My OS is in english, but my T9 is in norwegian . , Changed from the keyboard settings.
Will this change anything else? .
Biggest problem is that prediction with words containing æøå by only tapping "a" and" o" where it should be ( not holding them to slide to the correct letter) are only done in landscape . In portrait these word options dont come . Will this change?
Thanx.
Rui-Cruz:
The landscape problem with a o -> å æ is not solved by this. As I been told, this is reported to htc. Lets hope the major update will solve this. Quite annoying...
Stilghar: Good to hear! As the swedish guy reported, sometimes there are different options for same country region.
If people from other areas get the keyboard and the os to work, let me know, ill update the first post
Does anyone know who has developed Custom Locale.apk??
I want to ask that person whether it is possible to edit the language text, as it - at least in Danish - contains A LOT of mistranslations.
Thank you.

The CustomLocale changes only the locale. The individual applications come with support for other languages (or not), and they decide which language to display based on the locale setting. The CustomLocale.apk does not contain any translations by itself.
I'm still looking for German text input support. My english Hero only supports English, French, Italian, and Spanish keyboard languages. Changing the locale changes the names of the languages to the German equivalent (as expected), but does not add any languages to choose from.... Presumably the Hero sold in Germany supports German text input!?!
But there must be some xml files in the core system that specify the actual interface text... or am I wrong??

I tried the Greek language but didn't work...
Nice try though...
get the standard 2.73.405.5 ROM from modaco...that includes greek built in.
Got a HTC hero about 2 weeks ago, english language ofc. However i live in sweden, so im wondering: Will this change my whole phone into swedish? or just my T9 keyboard correction?
Because i rly dont want to have my phone in swedish, I prefer english on my electronics, feels much better IMO
It will change the entire OS, icluded the t9. If I understand u correctly, u want it in english, with swedish T9?

Exactly what i want .
I dont acculy know why I prefer english though.. its probably because I feel like it is more correct and easyer to understand in english, just makes more sence... but i guess, if it is as it says, that the other languages are already in the phone, its translated by HTC, so i should probably have nothing to worryabout anything being wrong...

Is yours an official Hero ROM? If so how did you get Russian to work? I am with nofowuw on this, I prefer my electronic in English but English-transliterated Russian looks awful and takes more characters to boot. I checked around, but still can't seem to find any app to allow Cyrillic input (I can live w/o T9, just give me the damn keyboard).
Hi!
I got the Samsung Keyboard yesterday for £19.99 and have a question about languages.
My tablet is a UK one from Staples and has English and many European langauges, some that I do not know, but I guess Eastern European, and also Korean.
I know I can add Japanese from the Market and have Simeji and Simeji Classic.
I want to be able to switch languages using the LANG button to the right of the space bar on the keyboard, but add-on languages do not show.
Would the only way to make this key function for Japanese be to flash my tablet with a rom that has Japanese built in? I guess so.
I do know how to change languages by pressing in the input area but just wanted to get full finctionality out of the keyboard.
Thanks!
Ofiaich
Not sure if it'll help with the keyboard problem, but try "OpenWnn plus" for Japanese entry - I find it much better than simeji (predictive text especially)
thanks teegee17,
OpenWnn plus is nice but it can't be activated from the Samsung Dock keyboard.
If I install English English, American English, French etc, then pressing the language key on the keyboard dock, will scroll trough the installed languages, but it does not work for add ons.
Thanks,
Ofiaich
Hi all,
I have subject model in Korea and I have to stick with Korean firmware in order to get navigation, Nate, DVB, etc... Firmware is FROYO.SK22.
However, I only got 2 input languages - Korean and English. How can I add Russian keyboard input language?
If you only need the keyboard you can try some keyboards apps from the market.
the Go keyboard is good and i think it has Russian in it.
Looks interesting. Do I understand correctly, that if I want native Russian keyboard I have to kiss Korean firmware good bye?
Not at all. the keyboard is just a keyboard it will not affect anything else.
