[Q] How to chane languages with the QWERTY keyboard on a milestone? - Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh

Hello.
I have a Motorola Milestone running CM7.
My problem is that I need to use another language other than English with it but can't change the typing language when using the physical QWERTY keyboard.
In the language settings both English and the other language are selected and I can switch between them when using the virtual keyboard.
The physical keyboard has a lang changing button but after flashing CM7 it turned into "menu".
Trying to change that using an option in OpenRecovery made the whole keyboard stop working.
However if I install AnySoftKeyboard from the market and use it, I can use Shift+Alt on the physical keyboard to change layouts.
Anyone knows how to change the language on the physical keyboard while using "Android Keyboard" as an input method?

want to know too.

I have same this issue ..

Hello.
I am not familiar with your device(XT702) but in CM7 for milestone ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941346 ) by kabldan starting with version 7.1.0.3, the language key can be used to change between languages as it was intended.
He managed to make it work so it might be a good idea to address him with this subject.

keyboard layouts

is it possible to have more than 1 keyboard layout installed and switch between them? or maybe have the software keyboard have a different layout than the hardware keyboard?
anyone any idea?
I have never managed to use the hardware keyboard to write Greek characters but there are many options for software keyboards. I use Language Extender.
some guy told me to use PocketCM Keyboard, which i did download and install, but i just prefer stuff thats not an addon as it slows things down etc.

[Q] After Rooted How to Home Icons and Keyboard Language??

Hello Guys,
I have rooted my NC. Everything is working as expected. Now I want to put some app icons on Home but I can't find how to do that.
Also the Keyboard setting is not working. If I go to Settings > Keyboard the NC go back to the prevous screen. I need to stop the auto-correct or change the language for autocorrect.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

You'll need a 3rd party launcher to put icons on your homescreen (launcher pro,adw, zeam...).
The keyboard setting isn't working because rooting switched it to a new keyboard. It should work fine when you open a text field. There are threads on here about installing a variety of different keyboards.
Thanks wvcachi, I have installed another launcher and now I'm able to organize the home screen. Now I need to solve the issue with the keyboard. The keyboard is working well, the problem is the auto-correct, the is changing my words when I write in another language (spanish).
Can I just stop the auto correct?
Can I revert to the original Keyboard on NC?
Thanks for your help.
I have the same problem, I need to change the language of the keyboard, but I cannot get into the settings. I've tried different keboards, but with none I can change the particular settings nor language.
Hello, I got the fix downloading and installing a GBKB.APK from another sub-forum here (not nook subforum, I think android Dev subforum) after install that I'm able to select and use the gingerbread keyboard. Now in gb kb there is setting button where you can add another languages.
I hope this work for you.

The language of auto-correct is tied to the keyboard. Autonooting gives you the Droid X keyboard with American English autocorrection.
You can install a Chinese IME, Spanish keyboard, AZERTY with French auto-correct, or whatever else you desire. As the previous poster mentioned, there is a modified Gingerbread keyboard for 2.1 that includes Spanish dictionary. You can search for it in the Nook Color forums (the keyboard is from another forum, but there are directions for NC here). It's a very long thread, but the directions in the OP should work.
You can install Smart Keyboard or SwiftKey from the market (and moving the app to the System/app directory), and then, from the keyboard, enter to the specific settings.
In Smart Keyboard you have to long press the ABC or 123 key to enter settings, and in SwiftKey you have to long press the mic key. There you can change the language or disable autocorrect.
Additionally, if you want, you can change the language of the nook color (so that all programs menus and dates and stuff appear in spanish) using morelocale2 from the market.

[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

[Q] Changing between swype and samsung keypad faster?

I use two different languages on my phone and have to often change from one language to another.
I use swype for english and samsung 3x4 keypad for korean. Changing from 3x4 to swype is fast, hold down the settings key and select swype. But changing the other way around, I have to long press swype, click change input method, and select samsung keypad. It's hard to switch when i'm writing in both english and korean in one sentence.
Is there an easier way to do this?
Such as configuring my language button to switch between swype and samsung keyboard? Is that even possible?
You can have both Korean and English in Swype and just press the language button to switch.

Swype doesn't have the Korean 3x4 keyboard
