scandinavian letters (ä,ö) with MDA Vario?

I just bought a MDA Vario from the UK so I'm having a hard time typing scandinavian letters with the keyboard, could someone please tell me how I could remap the keys to get letters ä and ö or is there already a program that can give me these letters? To clarify, I can type them using the Sym key but I have to press the Sym so many times it slows my typing too much. Thanks!

Help? How can I remap the ä and ö keys?

Moi,
there's file sym.txt that you can edit to get öä's faster, transfer it to your pc with ActiveSync, edit with notepad or similar and transfer back to your phone. That's it. My 1st line of that file for example looks like this:
aäàáâåąãăæ
I think you'll find the sym.txt from "Windows"-folder of your phone.
There's also Scandinavian softkeyboard CAB available but I don't know what that really does, you can find it from this forum.

What to edit?
What is it i shal edit to get this to work?
i want my danish keyboard to work as well.

using other languages..

how can i use another language with the hard keyboard on 7501? i have installed a second language on the device and i am using the on-screen keyboard with it but how can i use the hard keyboard?

c'mon ppl! who is in charge with the keyboard layout? it has to be a piece of software, somewhere. where?

The below registry changes will not help you with the Hebrew support, but if your second language is Russian, then your hard keyboard will start support it.
Add the following to your registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd]
"InitialDelay"=dword:222
"RepeatRate"=dword:A
"Locale"="0419"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\Qwerty]
"Layout"=dword:00020419
Switching in between languages is possible by holding the left-bottom key (with the big blue dot on it) and pressing the Ctrl key in the same time.
For the Hebrew support try to change values of "Locale" and "Layout" keys to appropriates ones.

thanks, finally some hope! how/where from do i get the locale and layout info?
found locale: 1037 (i hope). anyway i did a backup registry and keep looking for the "layout"...
found everything at: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/winxp/xp-lcid.mspx
what i found in my unaltered registry:

I need the settings for english and greek in my keyboard... Please

Thanks a lot! I have little experience working with registry. After trying for couple of hours with no success I figured out that "Locale"="0419" should be a string value (not a DWORD Value). Now my keyboard works fine)

Changing the keys of the on-screen qwerty

Hi there and Merry Christmas!
Being a proud HD owner for two days now I noticed that the layout of the on-screen qwerty (qwertz in my case) is unfortunately not really "smilie friendly"
Due to the German language using such funny letters as ä, ö, ü and ß, the parentheses got moved to the symbol page.
Does anyone know how to change the 2nd-function layout of the keyboard?
Maybe there is even a chance to not only get parentheses back into the game but also make a whole character string just by pressing one button. Like a smilie key
Down below you can see the qwertz standard and "smilie" version.
So far it's only photoshop...

Hello,
I'm also interestd in this remapping...
Any idea to change the attribution of the 2nd function (long push) ???
Thanks...

qwertyu with danish letters

Hi,
When using qwertyu keyboard the danish letters æ, ø and å isn't present, you have to hold down the a or o letter to acces them.
Any chance for them to show up direct in the qwertyu keyboard?

dont think that is possible on qwerty you can try FingerKeyboard

It looks versy promising - il'l give it at try - thanks.

Landscape Sense 2.5 keyboard issue

Hi.
I have a cab which gives me a scandic keyboard (å, ä and ö with Fn + other key). It works fine when using my device portrait but when using landscape keyboard these letters don't work.
I have tried two different landscape 2.5 ROM's and both of them had this problem.
Do you have any ideas for me to correct this issue?
Thank you.

From what i recall sense 2.5 works bad in landscape mode, test a sense 2.1 rom.
OT: What cab are you using, I could have use of the å ä and ö too

Actually...
...there are working 2.5 senses around now.

Siis mikä ei toimi?? Hardis näppis vai onscreen?
sry for answering in Finnish..
My slideout keyboard works fine with all sense 2.5 landscape releases..
here is my cab for it..

Thank you!
Hi.
I have problems with both keyboards. The "Scandic software keyboard" works fine in portrait orientation but it does not work in landscape orientation. Those Scandic letters disappear when in landscape. The hardware keyboard doesn't work either.
Thank you for the cab file. I give it a try.
Thanks - Kiitos!

I still got problems...
This cab gives me å, ä and ö letters from i, o and p keyboard buttons and it works ok BUT this cab breaks few Fn + letter functions. I do not have a Nordic keyboard and with this cab installed I can not write all the characters I see in my hardware keyboard.
Does anyone have another cab file to córrect my issues??

Im sorry to hear that, I automatically thought that you have a nordic rhodium..

Nope...
Yes, I have a "standard" Rhodium. I wanted it a.s.a.p. and those Nordic version were not available at the moment. Stupid me...
BTW: Does the Sense 2.5 use two different registry values to configure portrait and landscape keyboards??

No help?!?
Has anyone solved this problem or am I "home alone" again...?

Please, help me with this
How can I get my Nordic letters work with 2.5 Manila Landscape? Portrait works but landscape has a different keyboard layout?
Anyone???

Hi
For the hardkeys, let me recommend this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240
I'm not sure about the softkeys. I've been using all sorts of cooked ROMs in my Rhodium and all have had Danish letters in the softkeys, by holding ie. "a" I get access to "! à á â ã ä å æ".
Hope it helps you.

OK
Alright. I have tried this software but (I guess I am so stupid) I couldn't get those letters to work. How can I remap for example Fn+a = ä with this application?
