Hello,
This morning I received the update (in Finland) for my unbranded Samsung Galaxy S (GT-i9000) from 2.1 to Froyo 2.2
Before the update, my Swype application is pre-installed by Samsung and it was version 3.x (I can't remember the exact version).
After the update to Froyo, the pre-installed Swype version is now 2.6.x, and it has less languages than before, including Spanish (my mother tongue, and the language I typically use)
I have written an email to my GSM provider, to Samsung and to SwypeInc, but nobody replies. I have tried to find Swype 3.9 (the latest version, I think) from the Internet without any result. Actually, I only miss the Spanish dictionary.
Does anyone have any idea? Is this happening to you also?
I am looking forward to hear your replies,
P.S.- I found Swype 3.9.x as a CAB file, and followed the instructions, but it won't install because my phone cannot open the CAB file.

The reason it won't open a .cab file is because they are for Windows Mobile.
I have 2.1 :-(
Swype 2.1 here too with the new 2.2 oficial update :/
Are u sure u had version 3.x?? coz mine is ver. 1.60 on eclair JM2..
and i think samsung using different languages on different regions to save space..
thats why u dont have spanish swype on finland firmware.. i guess
Hello,
Actually you are right. I had Swype version 1.6 on JM2. I was confused after reading many forums for Windows Mobile.
So, the situation is now this one: I had Swype 1.6 with many languages (including Spanish). Now, with Froyo, I have Swype 2.6.47.11856, which doesn't have Spanish.
I cannot find a way to add Spanish to the new Swype. In fact, I searched for the Swype 2.6.47.11856 APK and I tried to install it on my phone, but after installing the phone says: "Application not installed.".
So, to sum up, I have the newest Swype version for Android, but I don't have Spanish anymore, and I can't overwrite the built-in Swype on my phone. Am I screwed?
If you have Swype 2.6.47.11856, could anyone please tell me if you have Spanish language available for input?
Thank you in advance,
--Claudio

Spanish is included in the Swype that is shipped with JPO, the central european version (2.1.41.10155). The scandinavian versions don't have it.
As i said.. different regions = different languages
Thanks for the reply anyways. I am just so confused, because I bought the phone here in Finland, and it came with Spanish Swype (and many more languages). Now I updated in Finland as well, and there is no Spanish Swype. But I have vietnamise, korean, romanian and stuff like that..
Is it possible to install a Swype dictionary manually?
Why not upgrade again to the European version of the firmware, and automatically get the version that has Spanish? You will need to downgrade Kies to ....93 or earlier, then regedit kies version to latest to stop it pestering you to upgrade, then with the old version you can regedit the phone version to one that gets the European upgrade. It is all described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9043729&postcount=74
I can confirm, I used the registry hack to get the generic "European Countries" update by setting ProductCode="GT-I9000HKDXEU" and Swype has got spanish.
But I need romanian and it's not there Does anybody know which ProductCode should I use to get the romanian language in Swype?

Hello guys,
I have a request from our kind chefs. Is it at all possible to have a JJ1 Rom that has the greek swype keyboard in it?
Thank you very much,
Tepes4
Is that possible?
I think you can get Swype from a different ROM where it supports greek. I have done it in Froyo JPH by getting the Swype binaries and libraries from an Eclair ROM. So if it works between Eclair and Froyo I assume it will work between two Eclair ROMs.
Unfortunately I dont remember the filenames that need to be replaced, but use the forum search function and you will find it. I think that one of the files is libSwypeCore.so or something.
/system/app/Swype.apk
/system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
/data/data/com.swype.android.inputmethod
I'm not sure if you need to remove that last one, previously I didn't need to. So find a swype with greek, and replace it with yours.

Thank you for your replies, but the main problem is that eclair uses 1.6 swype whereas froyo 2.2 something.
Is it possible to just extract the files from an eclair rom and port it directly to froyo?
Thank you for your replies!
Hi, I search for greek support for swype for my Galaxy Tab.
Although my Tab has greek in locale, there is no support in swype.
Isn't this weird?

With all the different ROM released with Froyo for the SGS available, is there anyone where French (Canada) setttings are available Including swype ?
That's the only annoyance that is gonna make me roll back to eclair as i can't get used to that azerty keyboard and I really like swype
Thanks in advance

I would also love to know if anyone has any information about a qwerty keyboard using french language.
nobody knows?
Hello,
I am looking for a Froyo version with Russian Swype.
My Swiss HKDAUT 2.1 had it, and then I went to HKDXEU 2.2 and lost it...
So please, if you're using an unbranded version of Froyo on your Galaxy S, could you check your Swype settings and see if it has Russian? (I need Swype, not locale.) It's written like "Русский".
If it has, please post your product code here! Would be greatly appreciated.
(Product code is something like GT-I9000HKDAUT or GT-I9000HKDXEU, or whatever.)
If we can find a version that also has Swiss French at the same time (written "Français: Suisse"), then I would simply be happy.
Thank you in advance!
Oh, so maybe you already found a solution for EN+DE+RU?
Today I updated my SGS from 2.1 to 2.2 Froyo, and after that, i noticed that Swype 2.1.41.10155 Doesn't have my language, Romanien.. please, can someone help me?
i seached but didn't find anything...
Hi,
My wifes O2X is running vanilla V10d and durring startup config I selected Danish (Denmark) but the keyboard has no special danish carecters (æøå). I went through the menus but I couldn't find anything wrong/missing.
How do I get my special danish carecters on the LG stanard keybord (I don't wanna root or install another keyboard)?
Thanks..

You don't, they're simply not there. If you don't want to install another keyboard, as you say, you have to wait for the GB update, which has localized keyboards for Scandinavia.
(I assume you are aware you can long-press keys to get ØÆÅ.)
