hi,
I just tried the google search app and it works. only that I can´t get the different commands to work in german, it´s only available in english in my app it seems although I saw somewhere that there are commands for german available.

does anybody know which app that is and where to get it? I would like to try that, looks promising ..
looks like the manual is wrong, this google person said so

Guys,
At first I'd like to thank to all developers releasing us great firmware. I have a question; how can I configure or edit the Locale settings?
I have seen many Locale's on The Dude's edition, I wonder how can it be done?
Thank you in advance,
I would like to know... can we add Locale's? I am using the JF1.5 build and I only see english--- no biggie, I can just add hebrew (although it does remove chinese) by adding the dejavu fonts. I would just like to be able to choose a locale... like the regular folks.
I'm also interested in this
I've sent a PM to TheDude, haven't got a reply yet.

we alredy have a hebrew onscreen keboard, by Hezi Cohen.
Come on iandroid.com...
Just to potentially bring this issue back out there, I am also interested in this. I have spent the last 4-5 hours scouring the internet with google trying to figure out how to add locales to builds, but I have not succeeded. I love the JF build, all that I am missing is Japanese Local as some of the apps look horrible when localized to English and there is no way to force an app to load in a specific language.
I recently started a new thread on this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=535780&highlight=locales
What I have discovered is:
There is an app, called Custom Locales, that allows you to add new locales. You can either compile it from source, or run the emulator and adb pull it out.
I would try it, but eclipse no longer works on my ubuntu box, so I'll have to find another way.
CustomLocale.apk
So I was able to extract the custom locale app from the emulator... here it is:
http://yochai.dyndns.org:8888/android/apps/CustomLocale.apk
hope this helps someone, somehow!
does anyone know of an app where it reads out what you type? i searched a whole bunch of combinations of words and phrases to describe and app like this, and couldnt find anything
does TTS do it?
TTS, the one in the marketplace, is a library that Charles Chen provided for developers to use with their apps.
There's nothing like global TTS yet on Android yet. That would have to be built into the rom.
But for your purposes, this might work: http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.imt11.translator
I think I know what you are talking about, do a search for "Speaking Pad" in the market or on Cryket's site.
{A talking notepad for Android. This notepad will speak what you type. This application uses the TTS (Text-To-Speech) library for Android.}
thanks for both of your suggestions
both apps are great. speaking pad is exactly what i was looking for....how if i could only change the voice
thanks again!
Found this while googling. I never seen it in the market and couldnt find it in the market while searching so i figured I would share. It translates what you type in text and it also speaks it. You must have TTS installed, you can get that from the market for free.

Hi, everyone -- I'm trying to find a good way to connect my ThinkOutside/iGo Stowaway Keyboard to my Nexus One. (Teksoft's HID driver doesn't work with punctuation) There seems to be a driver and instructions posted here:
http://memn0ck.com/blog/2010/01/googlenexusoneandroidbluetoothkeyboard.html
But it's all in Japanese and I can't figure it out through Google Translate. Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Alan
It looks like it says you have to install the APKs through adb.
Yup, it says that you have to download the 2 apks from the 2 links given. Well though the 2 sites are in Japanese, you can find the necessary links there easily. Seems like the Simeji from the Android Market doesn't work so you have to manually get the apk file that's stated.
Then adb install the BluetoothHIDkeyboard and Simeji. Once done, pair your phone with the bluetooth keyboard. Then start up the Simeji app and with the mushroom button, you start up SimejiBR and BimejiHID and you're done.
At least that's the gist of it.
I believe Bluetooth keyboards work with CyanogenMod 6 too.
Wow -- Thank you all so much! This is all incredibly useful. I was able to get everything installed correctly, and it works! It's great to have a bluetooth keyboard working with my Nexus One. It doesn't work great, I'm afraid -- the app works, but it's not quite ready for prime time: several steps to go through with each re-connect, and it for some reason won't let you backspace any further than the word you're in the midst of typing, which is odd. (Anyone know ways that might be fixed?)
I hadn't caught that HID support is included in the new CyanogenMod. Thanks for filling me in -- that's terrific. Once I get up the courage to root, I'll give that a shot.
Thanks, Alan
switching between languages
I tried some apps from market to connect my Ipaq bluetooth keyboard. I succeed, but my native language is Russian and I need to type also in Russian. Can somebody tell me if there is some driver or app which can switch between languages? Thanks a lot)
Maybe somebody knows how to switch it to native languages?
Hello all,
I'm not sure if this is general or off topic. Please share as I would really love assistance with this. I would like it to get to the right person/people.
You all are great at what you do by the way.
If you don't mind me giving you a little history/herstory lol behind my request.
The other day I ran into a young lady which I lended assistance. I found she didn't speak English. I then attempted unsuccessfully to use a translator app to communicate with her. Thing is I couldn't understand the language she spoke to input the correct language to translate.
Which brings me to my dilemma. Does anyone know of or wouldn't mind developing an app to assist with people with communicating though you do not particularly know exactly what language they speak.
I would be so very grateful for your help thank you for your attention and assistance.

Google Translate has a 'Detect Language' option amongst its language choices. (All the way at the top).

It does not recognize spoken language however. That would be a nice feature in an app, but impossible to make I would think...

The mic doesn't work in that function. :-/

Let's hope for the best. Don't cut it off before it has had a chance to be attempted.
Well I guess that it's surely doable, just make the app use the Google speech recognition to determine the language being spoken.
Yet it means that you would have to somehow let the lady know that you want her to talk directly to the phone

I have the picture that for the speech recognition to work it needs to know the language that is being spoken. So it cannot guess the spoken language. Correct me if I and wrong?
Edit: now I and laughing at the idea that someone comes asking for help and you start waving a phone in their face while making weird gestures

Didn't say it wouldn't require some tinkering here and there... I bet it would work like all the song recognizing apps, I mean TrackID or similar. Just record a few secs of the incoming sound, compare it with the database and boom, your amigo sprechst français

It doesn't? Well, sh*t...
Though truthfully I was thinking more along the lines of letting your conversational partner simply either type (so Google can recognise it) or select their own language in the app. You can go a long way with pointing and gesturing.
