Hi,
I've recently noticed that when I press the voice button (on homescreen) on my keyboard it uses dutch voice recognition rather than english. I was really surprised how good it actually is, I've tried super long sentences with numbers and works FLAWLESSLY.
Anyway, when I press the voice button in texting or whatsapp it uses english. When I set my language to dutch with morelocale it says voice recognition doesn't support the current language.
Any way?
Thanks

Also when I click the microphone button while texting it uses the english recognition (even though I've set dutch in settings>voice).
When I click the microphone button in the homescreen and choose voice search it DOES use dutch recognition..
What's going on??
edit: if I force dutch language using more locale 2 and then try to speech-text, it says: "voice dictation not supported in this language". But this is not true, as it works in the homescreen!!!

Hi guys,
I love that the Milestone has Bluetooth Voice Dialling, I do however have one huge problem with it.
I am German and so are most of my contacts, my phone/pc is set to English on the other side.
When I set the phone to German, Voice Dialling works beautifully, when I set the phone to English, Nuance also automatically switches to English, which brick Voice Dialing German contacts (because I need to pronounce them the way you would pronounce them in English...
QUESTION: Is there any way to set the Voice Dialing language (provided by the integrated Nuance Voice Suite) independently from the main system language?
Along with the just released Google Navigation update to include Germany, this would fiy my second biggest problem with this otherwise great phone!
I hope one of you can help me with this.
Thanx in advance,
Stefan
I have exactly the same problem. what I would like is other application specific setting or a wdget that can quickly switch between the two.
I currently use morelocale 2 to switch between my german-germany and english-germany setting. that way I at least still have german sites and suggestions but with englisch language for voice search and other things. But I have to allways switch it back to be able to hear the street names in german instead of english and to use voice fuctions and dictation.
would be nice if there was a really easy solution for this.
Hey
As you may know google recently release Google Navigation (Beta) here in Denmark, but since i run my phone language in english, which i like better, the voice guidance is also in english.
But I would like to have the voice in danish, I tried using MoreLocale2 to change to danish and the voice was then in danish, but so was most of the phone, which i dislike :/
So now that I know it is possible to get danish voice guidance could anyone tell me if/how i can get it and still keep the english phone language?
I've tried to change the language in Settings and Text-to-speech where I can set the language for the spoken text, but this didn't effect the navigation language

Hi!
I got the Samsung Keyboard yesterday for £19.99 and have a question about languages.
My tablet is a UK one from Staples and has English and many European langauges, some that I do not know, but I guess Eastern European, and also Korean.
I know I can add Japanese from the Market and have Simeji and Simeji Classic.
I want to be able to switch languages using the LANG button to the right of the space bar on the keyboard, but add-on languages do not show.
Would the only way to make this key function for Japanese be to flash my tablet with a rom that has Japanese built in? I guess so.
I do know how to change languages by pressing in the input area but just wanted to get full finctionality out of the keyboard.
Thanks!

Not sure if it'll help with the keyboard problem, but try "OpenWnn plus" for Japanese entry - I find it much better than simeji (predictive text especially)
thanks teegee17,
OpenWnn plus is nice but it can't be activated from the Samsung Dock keyboard.
If I install English English, American English, French etc, then pressing the language key on the keyboard dock, will scroll trough the installed languages, but it does not work for add ons.
Thanks,
Ofiaich
I may be doing something very wrong, but I cannot make Voice Actions to work in Spanish (I also tried in German, without luck). In English everything works as expected.
If I tell something in Spanish, the phrase is well recognized but the "keywords" are not identified, so it searches in google the whole phrase. For example, if I say "Call someone" in Spanish, it searches for "Call someone" in Google instead of calling the person.
I already tried installing the offline language packages and played with the configurations of system / voice languages (English / Spanish, Spanish / Spanish) without success.
I own a HTC One Developer edition.
I would really appreciate some help with this, thanks in advance.
I would like to know at least if someone has working voice actions in any language other than English.
Is it posible to have Duch as a second language on the watch?
I have Dutch installed as a second language on my phone and it works perfect with Google now. I can say "okay Google" and after that I can speak Dutch.
Has anybody found a solution?
+1 for it. I have the same problem.
Dutch is not yet supported on the watch itself ... but I found out that using Dutch as first language in Google Now, the watch will recognize Dutch! So voice recognition for Google Now and Android Wear are somehow related .
Thanks for the tip! Will try.
English(US) as primary
Dutch as secondary
Settings in google now on phone, works for me.
I can respond to whatsapp messages in dutch and english commands still working
Yep, here same setting!
I used the same setup with English (UK) + Czech as secondary. This worked and there was a setting in Google settings to have Contact names recognized (they apparently need to be uploaded and indexed somewhere on google server). That option is now gone however (not sure what update caused it), and the watch is unusable for dialling Czech names anymore - it just tries to interpret everything in english.
Google needs to get a grip on the settings nonsense - there are multiple places that seem to set the same thing but don't have the exact same option, and if you mess it up in one place it's nearly impossible to find afterwards... this is a perfect example. The watch should just have it's own setting for primary/secondary languages, instead on relying on all the google apps that are in contant flux on the phone...
I thought Android wear did not have multilingual support. I wanted to use English and Spanish but I can only use one language at a time. I set Spanish as primary language in Google settings (phone) and had to change my phone language to Spanish as well.
I have a similar problem now (only got the Watch R yesterday). Language on my phone (LG G3, Android 5.0) is set to English (US); primary language in Google Now is also English (US) with Dutch as the secondary.
Now, voice commands work fine, but when I dictate a text message or an e-mail, Google doesn't recognize that I'm speaking Dutch - it tries to make English out of it. But when I dictate a note in Dutch, it works without problem. (When I disable English and only keep Dutch as a language in Google Now, then I always get "Didn't catch that", no matter what I say ...)
Probably a very annoying bug, I guess?
