Language Bar has completely dissapeared in WIN7!! - Off-topic

So my Language Bar has completely disappeared in WINDOWS 7 Ultimate x64!!
and I cant get it back -- I tried everything I could find through google, starting ctfmon.exe manually doesnt do anything, adding it to startup folder (as a shortcut) doesnt do anything, Messing around in the language details also doesnt do anything!!
The thing I did was installed Latvian language keyboard layout (its qwerty but you have to press ~ to get to special characters) -- it all worked well but language bar disappeared and the language is now always US QWERTY, but sometimes I need also Latvian!!!!! LV language doesnt even work when I leave it as the only Keyboard Layout (in keyboard layouts) -- its still US although I have removed it!!
Its like WTF - MS makes a great OS and it has a really annoying bug!!!
can someone please help me with getting my Language bar back?? plz helP!!

Sliding keyboard layout change

How do I change the keybord layout from english to a layout of my choise like danish?
And how do I modify sym.0409.txt in the windows dir (read only and located in ROM)
I've alreade tried the tips on localisation of keyboard in the wiki and can't seem to get them to work.
I'm new to wm6 so please be gentle...
Welcome to WindowsMobile
I think you could give a try to :
"Restore local language support for sliding keyboard after upgrade to a different language ROM"
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry
I've tried that with little luck. I've managed to modify sym.0409.txt to a more userfriendly version. This is however only possible via PC and not directly on the device as originally tried due to the fact that I'm currently nowhere near my PC.
It seems that the hardware keyboard control is managed slightly dirrerently in the Kaiser relative to the Hermes.

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 !)

Keyboard(s)

Hi,
I'm often switching between english, french, german. The 3 languages have a different keyboard layout. When you switch language in most keyboards such as swype, htc me, etc so that the language correction works properly, the keymap also changes. its impossible to use, when the keymap change all the time, i always get the keys wrong by reflex.
so i would like a keyboard that does auto correction, or even swype-like, but keeps the same layout (of my choice) when changing language.
secondarily, i would like the keyboard to have arrow keys (for the terminal mainly)
i can't find such a gem. is there any?
I think touchpal is pretty good for multiple languages, if you can find the language packs. You can get the chinese touchpal from the market, but then install any Western language pack touchpal apks. I've only got English on mine, but that works great. Only one click on the keyboard to get to arrow keys, home, end page up/down etc. Give it a try.
couldnt find language packs for the latest version =/
used it a bit in english and its not bad, although keys are a bit small and sometimes it lags a bit. only using qwerty and only have english+chinese but the mixed language input seems to work. maybe in future versions with language pack it could be neat (i saw they announced a version 5.0 with more packs soon)
i use the droid x multitouch atm its very fast, but it doesnt solve any of my problems of course

[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
