Does anyone know how to enable an unrooted Galaxy to recognize Thai? I have downloaded a number of Thai keyboards and language packs from the market but none of them have worked.
I could find no way of doing this without rooting
I tried all the thai apps on the market too and kept getting the same problem
When my phone was standard I just got little squares instead of text
I found a way in the end but not what you're after
I've ended up using Darkys 9.5 Rom with the Arch Thai keyboard.
sorry not much help but my phone is 10 times better now than when it was on the factory software.
Its also doable here

hi, i wan to install chinese on X1... wat should i do??
Use google my friend but that will probably bring you back to these forums. You can't change the language in Windows Mobile. You'll need to flash the ROM of your phone, and write the chinese X1 ROM on to it. I'm looking into it myself to, and as far as I know it isn't without risk and it's quite a specific procedure.
Perhaps these topics will get you started:
XPERIA X1 ROMs: All available ROMs and RADIOs
Flash X1 without PC - Micro SD Method
Tutorial: Debranding the X1 / Flashing ROMs
Actually you can install CE-Star on your mobile. That'll get you up and running with Chinese.
CE-Star does indeed can even change the menus of a English ROM into Chinese.
On the topic of the Chinese input and reading only, I use CE-Star to get the reading and fonts. However CE-Star's input method is pretty archaic and IMO doesn't gel with the hardware keyboard very well. For example there is no keyboard short cut to switch between English and Chinese input on the fly (at least none I can find).
After some research on mainland China Sony Ericsson websites comes up PlumSIP to be a very popular input software in mainland China. It uses the "au" key on the hardware keyboard as a toggle between Chinese and English input. You can download it free in on the developer's website below.
http://www.dayhand.com/
I don't know if it'll work without CE-Star, I haven't tired to have PlumSIP without CE-Star. I've both installed and use PlumSIP for input. The other WM Chinese input software ZTA4 (is also good) doesn't work without CE-Star installed to read Chinese.
<EDIT> Ok I double read the Chinese site, and you can use PlumSIP without CE-Star, just add the fonts to display Chinese text. For more info check this thread: http://sebbs.it168.com/thread-1370026-1-2.html
is there anyway i can change chinese interface to english? i search it on the forums and all i got is i need to flash rom on my phone. so,, there is really no other way to do it myself??
where should I save the font on the X1?? I installed the PlumSIP on the X1 but it just shows squares... please help!
Hi I want to buy a Touch Diamond 2 for brother in law who is Thai. He wants version that has Thai language.
Does anyone know which region version I should buy.
Normally, there is no any ROM that has Thai!
For Thai ROM is developed by Thai's web forum calls PDAMOBIZ.COM
But, it is still no ROM for Topaz, due to it very new.
However, if your brother in law can use english menu, there are some Thai company that sell Thai software calls ThaiWinCE and Thai-g (for me, now I recomended ThaiWinCE).
That you can buy from them via there homepage.
In the software, there will give you Thai input Keyboard, Thai Regional setting and make your WM phone able to read Thai.

There is also something called korechithai.cab that install thai fonts (and other south-eastern fonts I think) and basic WinMo thai input keyboard (to be used with a stylus, but it is better than nothing). I do not know if it is related to the ones mentioned in previous post (an earlier version maybe?), but afaik it is free, i did found it on Thai WinCE message boards. I installed it on my previous PDA, and re-installed it on my TD2. No compatibility issues, although the cab was for an earlier version of WinMo, it is still working nicely on 6.1 topaz...
It allows me to use free thai-english dictionary (there is also one hanging around, using the MDict engine), I will check during my next trip to thailand if it work for viewing thai characters in SMS in Touchflo and browse thai website...
But as the previous poster said, this will not change the WinMo menus, nor touchflo3D, not any pre-installed apps: those will remain in the language your Topaz came pre-installed with...which, in my case, is a blessing ;-)
Thanks for the replies.
I will try the korechithai.cab on my device later. If it is ok then I will just buy him a UK version.
I installed the korechithai.cab but now both my volume buttons & the call answer button no longer work.
Anyone have this problem & know how to fix it.

Strange, I installed it too and I do not have this problem...Have you soft resetted your TD2?
BTW, after expansion my korechithai gives different cab:
KbdChinese.cab
KbdKorean.cab
KbdThai.cab
korechithai4ppc.cab
SIPChange.cab
I installed korechithai4ppc.cab first (this gave the thai fonts, so I was already able to read thai words in my dictionary after this install)
then KbdThai.cab, this added the thai keyboard (classic WM keyboard format, so stylus-oriented, or can work with fingers...if you have very sharp nails ;-) )
I did not install SIPChange.cab, this one is not compatible with 6.1 (or so it says in the instruction). I think it is intended for deeper change (program shortcuts, maybe some OS messages or menus), things I had no intention to change anyway.
I you have installed SIPChange.cab, I suspect it is the origin of your problem. I would try to uninstall it, and if it does not work, only solution I see is a hard reset, then try the installation of korechithai4ppc.cab then KbdThai.cab only...

Is it possible to tell me where to download korechithai4ppc.cab of better still can you email it to me. I have tried but can't find it anywhere.
The korechithai.cab I downloaded from here http://my.opera.com/cameron_en/blog/2008/02/03/ime-complete-installation-files-download-section does not work properly.
For anyone who's interested I have found a fully compatible version of korenchithai4ppc.cab at this link http://sinocom.ru/index.php?topic=159.msg3006;topicseen as you can see it is in Russian but all you need do is scroll down approx 2/3rds of the thread & the link for rapidshare is there.
hello all.
i just recently bought (2 days now) a shiny new X1 and i am quite pleased with it for the most part... except for some issues
so ... some questions;
build quality is ok but it feels like a wobble when the unit is closed during tapping. is this normal? in other words the screen sort of "shifts" around in movement ... is this normal?
my rom came with arabic support (the unit has arabic fonts lettering on the keyboard) however when writing a message i cant figure out how to turn the keyboard into arabic.. only the on-screen-keyboard displays arabic.
well thats all done with cause i changed the rom and even though i backed up following the steps in the tutorial on this forum when i restored the rom the arabic applications didnt restore nor did the fonts. i dont know why...
so now i installed many roms and even though i installed Mobidev (the arabic localization) the on-screen-keyboards only display english. for example, christian's rom, the valkrye rom, and the Unoff rom. all are english however i cant figure out how to add the arabic keyboard...
any help is appreciated.
59 views and no reply?
comeon guys... ???
It's normal that it 'wobbles', there are two parts (the actual phone and the screen)attached to eachother at two points I think .. not sure why SE/htc didn't decide to fix the wobble thingy though
thanks
any ideas on how to make the hardware keyboard switch to another language ?
get the regedit program on the forums and then find the keyboard code which uses arabic as its layout then it should work.
or you can always just look for a custom arabic rom , Hard-reset + flash the rom will always do the trick too.

Non-latin languages require more work, because they need to get the IME working whereas latin charset languages just need the characters and accents. I suggest you flash an Arabic ROM to make your life easier.
The au key should be the language toggle.
Hi all,
I want to start by saying that this forum has been very helpful to my in customising my GT-I9000, and I want to thank you all for this help. I have had a Galaxy S for about a week and I am really liking the flexibility of this phone. But without your efforts, there would not be near as much flexibility.
So I have a question about language support across different firmwares. It requires a little explanation, so I apologies in advance if it is a bit too much text. I use linux a fair bit, but I am new to Android so I dont know many of the details of the system yet. I am a n00b, however, I want to show that I actually put effort into what I want to do instead of just asking for someone else to do it for me from the beginning.
I would like to have the ability to send SMS in Hebrew from the SGS native messaging software. I find no problem inputting in Hebrew using various Keyboards such as AnySoftKey. However, the sms is received as a series of question marks. I guess it is a lack of character support, probably somewhere between typing the text in Hebrew, and the phone transmitting it across the networks.
I could install a firmware from an Israeli network as they have Hebrew input on their firmware versions. However, these are not very up-to-date and I would rather use a newer firmware (I have JPX with Darky's Gingerbread 6.0 mod, which is very up-to-date ).
I want to take it step by step, so I think I should start with the Keyboard input.
AnySoftKeboard works well for Hebrew input, and the text it makes works in all apps except the Messaging app (although it looks just fine on my side). But Perhaps the Samsung Keyboard would work?
I have looked at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=796854
It describes methods of porting Keyboards from one firmware version to another. This is specific to porting the Eclair keyboard to Froyo.
So I tried to apply this logic to my needs. But I have difficulties knowing which firmwares have Hebrew language input support, yet alone a keyboard that is compatible with JPX. I tried with the keyboard from firmware I9000JHJP8 (only one I am sure has Hebrew support), but the porting following the instructions in the thread did not work. I am sure with some trial an error (and probably lots and lots of error ) I would eventually be able to get it to work.
So before I start trying to get it to work, I would like to know if you think that changing the keyboard would make any difference, or, if the problem lays somewhere else?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Hey. I hate to bump this but its gone to many pages from the first.
I wont bump again as I guess there may be no answer for this question.
Still Should I bother trying to convert the keyboard as i suggested above?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
First of all forgive me for being an annoying noob I am, but I've been googleing this matter for 3 days with no luck.
So here is the deal: I've purchased a Chinese (I think) GTab (meaning the default locale was Chinese) here in Russia. There was no problem in switching locale to Russian, all fonts work correctly, all translations are good and so on. The problem is, Samsung keyboard doesn't have a Russian language as an option (despite having a bunch of others), and I would love to use a keyboard dock, which only agrees to work with SK. The interesting thing is, the keyboard dock does have a Russian layout, so I have to presume there is actually a way to install it to Samsung keyboard app.
Can anyone spare any advice?
The best I've managed to find so far was a similar topic for the original Tab, but it only applies to android 2.1 and 2.2 as far as I figured (I did try before assuming)
maybe you should try and contact kallt_kaffe.
