I have tried a couble of gingerbread roms and love the full language support in both menus and keyboard.
Now I'm on ota gb 2.3.3 to check if my battery can last more than half a day.
But ota has only a limit number of language support.
Is it possible to grapp the keyboard application from cm7 or another Rom and install on ota to get more language support in keyboard?
Thanks

Yeah im wondering the same thing, was so happy when i saw that 2.3.3 was gonna have a bunch of new languages, including swedish and thats what i really want. But since i installed the OTA for my nexus one i only have english =(
Just an quick update.
There seem to be a couple of multi language keyboards on market after all.
I use "Keyboard from Android 2.3".

A friend is using "MultiLing Gingerbread Keyboard"
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.klye.ime.latin&feature=search_result
Both works great.

Anyone know if there is any way to get the stock android keyboard on this thing? I can type a lot better on that than I can on the htc keyboard.

you will need to find the .apk somewhere. you can prob find it in any cyanogenmod build. but i think the sense keyboard is way better than froyo and about the same as the gingerbread keyboard
I tried loading the gingerbread keyboard i can't get it to show up though even when its checked wth is going on? all i get is the htc keyboard very annoying anyone know how to get another keyboard to work?
Long press an input box and choose input method to change keyboards.

do you mind posting the apk?
I believe you'll need root for it to work properly. Its a system .apk file which means it'll have to be in the system part of the phone. Especially if you pull it from a ROM like CM.
For those who may not know root gives you that access...Jamezelle will be releasing that tomorrow anyways. ...well today lol

You do not need root to use the gingerbread keyboard, just search 'gingerbread keyboard' in market theres a free and a paid version. Ive only tried the free one and it works great!
Go into the settings and check your settings for the Keyboard, this keyboard is much better than the stock one.
There were a couple of versions of the Gingerbread keyboard floating around. One of which had bugs. I'd greatly appreciate someone posting the .apk for the working one.
Just tried both renamed Gingerbread keyboard on my TB and got FCs. Bummertown!
I have one that works for me. Also, the Gingerbread skin for Better Keyboard is excellent. I'll dropbox the apk and edit this post with the link.

Just thought I'd add in that I tried the multitouch keyboard from be Droid X/2 with no success.

Yeah, It's kinda strange. I pulled LatinIME.apk for cm 6.1( just because I prefer that keyboard) and had no but fc's. Didn't matter if I installed it or dropped it in /system

What do you mean it doesn't do anything? You can't get it to display or what?
You just open up a text. Long press in the box to start typing, Hit Input method. Then select "gingerbread keyboard"
There is a version of the Gingerbread keyboard in the market that seems to work well.
i share my captivate with my chinese fiance and would like to know how to keep the phone english but have the ability to text in chinese for her. is this possible?
i did search the forums but they seem to have chinese and want english. i only want to text in chinese? how can i do this?
I beleive the gingerbread keyboard from the android market has the ability to switch languages by swiping the space bar. (Its in the settings and you have to enable it)
Give it a shot
edit : And I gotta say, its pretty cool to be able to type in Chinese. I kinda wanna learn it LOL
many of the swypes in the custom roms now have 32 languages available
thanks supaphreek and TRusselo. im running froyo and i guess its time to update to gingerbread to get those languages. does kies provide it (GB) now? i have to unrooted to run kies mini, right? anything else i have to do before running kies mini?
i want FF3.0 also so i guess this is the week i will have to fix or break my phone.lol
my first new ROM, i am so scared to brick.
Install Google Pinyin ime from the market. Easiest way to get Chinese input. Works in any version of android.

You don't need to flash an entire new rom or even GB to get this feature. Its as simple as opening the market on your 2.2 or even 2.1 device and downloading an application called "Keyboard from Android 2.3" developed by Steven Lin. Once youve installed it, go into settings > Locale and text > (Now check the Gingerbread Keyboard box) and then go into Gingerbread Keyboard settings > Input languages > here you would select what languages you need.
FYI, i dont think this application has any chinese languages... but then again, i cant read chinese so im not really sure, i just dont recognize any chinese symbols.
There may be another app or a language pack that could help you out.

i cant access the market. im in china using my fiance's sim chip. when the chip is in her crackberry it runs internet but in my captivate it says unable to open page. however, when i go to a hotel lobby i can run wifi and my browser (cant run wifi on my home router because as TRusello explained to me some chinese routers run on channels higher than 12 and this is the case with my router.) i dont know how to change channels on the router.
i read some post that said google will start banning rooted phones. is this true? if so, should i unroot to use kies or access the market. i ask because i am going to hong kong next week where there is uncensored internet and hopefully i can access the market after buying a ten dollar sim offered in vending machines.

i would download that is there is a site with an apk but since i have no market access i can only get apps by apk download. if you know where to get that i would surely donate to the developer.

that's an ime make by baidu.com aka the chinese google, and host by them. not sure if the ui has english, but guess ur wife can figure it out if she knows how to type chinese. That should do the trick before u get to hong kong. On the side note you probably need to set up the apn to get edge access in china depends on ur carrier. and no 3g for us phones on china mobile since they use some unique 3g network designed by themslves. if u know what ur carrier is i can help u to look up the apn.

she is on china mobile.
i found a way to access android market in english even though its a chinese site:
https://market.android.com/?hl=en
i am wondering if i make an account, will google recognize my phone imei and prohibit me from having a usa and chinese android market account. my chinese account would have a different login and phone number but like i said same imei number for my phone. does google check imei's?
why does everything have to be so backwards in china?
also, we can get texts in chinese but can only send texts in pinyin (romanized form of chinese.) so at least we are not totally without communication,as far as texting, and her mom knows pinyin but her dad doesnt.
CMNET
name:cmnet
apn:cmnet
everything else leave blank...
that's the faster apn setup for china mobile. As far as the market just use the same google account is fine, at least that's how it was working for me last december when i was in china on china mobile. I couldn't view the suggested apps etc... but searching and downloading from the market was fine.

Use MultiLing Keyboard
It is on Market. Free. Many languages with dictionaries.
I noticed, after installing the leaked D3 update, that Swype's language was set to spanish. Now, in general, it didn't seem to affect the typing any, but all of the Swype menus and prompts were en espagnol. So, I quickly changed the Swype language option to english and all was well.
Just yesterday, I noticed it was showing spanish prompts again, so I went back to the Swype options and it was still set to english. I switched it to spanish and back to english... no effect. Then, I switched the whole phone's language to spanish and back to english (which caused Motorola Home to FC, for some reason, even though I'm not using it), and then did the same for Swype again. Now it is in english again.
Has anyone else who's installed the update seen this?

Yes! I thought I changed it accidentally somehow

If Moto found that bug in their update, I suppose it might result in a higher build number with the current update that is undergoing soak testing. Guess we'll have to wait and see...

Any way to get stock ICS keyboard on an att vivid rom? The stuff in the market is sketchy
as of right now there isn't any way, however thumb keyboard is a fantastic substitute to the htc keyboard, or even perfect or swift key.
however thumb has been my favorite
Play Store shortcut:

I'm not trying to push a product its just that I've tried many different keyboards and this one has the most customization.
-RoGeRs
Im using Go Keyboard right now since its the most popular.
Hacker Keyboard is my favorite. It's very accurate, adjustable size, and loads of features.
Cool. Thanks. Let's hope we get stock ICS keyboard on this.

There is an "ICS Keyboard" in the market, both a free and paid version. Its actually one of my favorite keyboards simply because it's so responsive on my rather low end device. I switch around though, I keep Go Keyboard and Hacker's Keyboard for when I feel like switching things up.
I've used a LOT of keyboards on the market :-/

perfectly good ICS keyboards in market...i've been using the same one for 3 weeks.ICS Keyboard by Binary Bulge. the free one...
Installation Process
Question: is the installation process similar at all to the way you did it in the past? First install the keyboard, then go turn the keyboard on in settings, then go to a text input field and long-press and get settings, choose the newly installed keyboard? This is not working for me, I can install, and enable the keyboard, but I cannot find any way to switch my input method!
If you know the answer I'll thank your response
But seriously, thanks

Hi, I just got a Samsung Galaxy Ace duos, and i installed the facebook app on it... now i noticed that the Bengali language font is not supported (boxes show up instead of the characters)
Now i think its the fault of the phone, not the app, since i can see the text all right on the facebook app on my sony tablet s ...but the odd thing is that i know that the phone supports bengali text, cz when i first bought the phone it had a bangladeshi sim card in it, and during inital set up when the region selection option came up, 'bangladesh' was written in bengali... but i selected united kingdom cz i wanted my phone to be in english....(yeah i know it wasnt language setting, but i couldnt risk having the whole phone in bengali permanently)
well anyways i dont have bengali in my languages list, just english and korean and some different forms of arabic....and i have no idea how to bring it..total newbie
So basically my question is.... how do i get bengali support on my facebook app?
My phone isnt rooted, and i think its still running...gingerbread...but ill give more details once someone helps out
Sorry for the super long post,just wanted to give as much info as possible
