[Q] Change the language?

Is it possible to change the language of the nook color? Or at least change the configuration of the keyboard so the autocomplete and autocorrect is in spanish?
Thanks

Click to expand...

I cannot speak for spanish, but I can read/type Chinese quite easily with a couple of keyboards that support pinyin (chinese input). A quick glance shows quite a few options: http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/spanish keyboard

I change the language of the nook color with morelocale2.
I'll see what I can do with the keyboard. I'm sure swift Key have spanish, but the menu appears white text over white background, so I can't choose the language... Maybe I'll just try them all.

I was able to change the language of two keyboards, SwiftKey and Smart Keyboard. One with a long press in the mic button and the other with a long press in the ABC button.
Sadly, Swift Key uses predictions for both languages at the same time, mixing them, so I had to chose Smart Keyboard as a default, even though I like the former better.

[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] How to chane languages with the QWERTY keyboard on a milestone?

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 ..

and waiting for the developer to solve it..!!!!

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.

The Beta worked for about 14 days, and then the phone started doing some random hangs. and after not being able to type anything in a SMS i changed the keyboard back, and my phone is now normal.
Cool keyboard, but might cause problems....

when the beta stops working you might want to try Perfect Keyboard, and Smart keyboard, they have similar options, except importing SMS into dictionary.

Thanks for it
I will try and see

Go Keyboard problems
1. I use the speech recognition a lot. When I set the Voice Key to 'On main keyboard' I loose the Comma key.
Is there any way I can get both the voice key and the comma key on the main screen?
2. When I use the voice recognition (the Voice Recognition is great, 90% or better) but if I try to edit the phrase it shows because a letter is incorrect. I put the cursor to the right of the letter and hit backspace or space and it pastes the whole phrase in again in the middle of the phrase I am trying to edit. Any idea how to avoid this?
I really like Go Keyboard, but these 2 things are driving me nuts.
Regards,
Mark

[Q] Keyboard portrait types

Just got my note today!!!!!!!!!!
SG2 under settings ->samsung keypad settings
I'm able to select the keypad types based on language
Korea (3x4)
Alphabet (Qwerty)
Numbers and symbols (Qwerty)
Is there a way to set this as well? I've only seen one option to select qwerty vs 3x4 but it changes all languages to that setting instead of individual settings for each language.
Thanks.

Hm... the only workaround I've found so far is enable 2 different keyboards. Upon wanting to switch languages I change the keyboard. Would be interested to hear any other good news.
