any ideas to change the language at hardware keyboard ,except Aekmap
also looking for same answer
I have a Taiwan keyboard (with bopomofo) and an English ROM (T-Mobile). I'd like the ability to switch back to chinese mode for entering chinese on the keyboard but not sure how too. Its on US version with the T-Mobile ROM.
I think there is a registry or something but not sure what to change them to.

does an english wizard have the same physical keyboard (letters in the same positions) than an italian or french or german wizard?
Are the keyboards all the same?
thanx
nope.. T-Mobile germany's keyboards are QWERTZ:

While here's a French AZERTY:

well...i need to know the italian and the english...do they match?
as far as letter and number keys go, yes - IT and EN are both:
QWERTYUIOP
ASDFGHJKL
ZXCVBNM
There may be some difference in the other keys, due to the italian language making use of extended letters a lot (thus putting them on the keyboard would be useful for users of it).
Haven't spotted a picture of an IT one yet
if the underlying question is: Can I use an english ROM with an italian device? The answer is : yes. You will find other posts that explain what registry changes will let you map correctly the keyboard. Like in France we use AZERTY keyboards, so making the correct registry changes, we can use our french keyboard and use the A key and get an A instead of a Q
yes but the problem is that in italian qwerty there are buttons for à,è,é,ò,ì,ù ...very used letter in my language...i just wonder if on english qwerty these letters/button ar present and primary.
Its' the same in French! If you have an italian device and if you update correctly the registry you should have all keys functionning as before. I've not tested it yet on my phone (still a french ROM) but I do it on my PC: french keyboard and english OS. I can use all the accented letters like if I were using a French keyboard with a French OS. I don't see why it should be otherwise on the PPC.
i can't explain...sorry!
what I mean is if the letter/button "è" (for instance) is NOT PHISICALLY present/written on the phisycal qwerty english tkeyboard BUT it is present ( and IT IS PRESENT because I use it everyday) on the italian qwerty...this answers to my question
Not quite sure what you are looking for exactly. Anyway, maybe this will help:
go to \HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd
There should be a "Locale" string value. If it's not there create it! and give it the value "0410"
To get the accented letters like e
press e
then the blue dot (left bottom corner)
then the space bar
I hope I'm making sense.Good luck!

He's asking whether the keys are physically there on the slide-out keyboard. I.e. is there a little label / sticker with "è" on it?
There isn't one the English version (you can still get that character by means of the Sym key in combination with the 'e' key).
just to add confusion to this problem.
i have a t mobile MDA and a frien has a O2 mini and the keyboard layout is different on both. the Mini gets the benefit of a '£' sign whilst i have to get the electronic keyboard out for this. i suppose i could do a reg edit, anyone know how???
Just found out something really puzzling... I always use the on-screen keyboard, which works perfectly well in french and english (both languages I use commonly), apart from the fact that the layout itself changes when you change the language but still it works.
My issue is about the hardware keyboard (i.e. on the slider). there the layouts are inverted, meaning when I am in xT9 french, the layout is qwerty, and vice versa !
Anyone had the issue already ? if so, any answer to this please ?
ok nevermind, just called HTC Europe in France, it's a known bug awaiting for a patch...
I have a WWE ROM and I would like to keep it. However, I do kneed the portuguese keyboard, because of the accents and characters specific to the portuguese language. Is there a way to change just the keyboard, like in regular windows? Sorry if this question is silly, but I'm new to Windows Mobile.
Thanks.
UPDATE: found out the solution
please share your solution with everyone. I am in similar situation, but need danish keyboard layout for WWE ROM

I also need the Portuguese Keyboard and don't want to install 3rd party keyboards. I like HTC's. Please share your solution.
Thanks.
I found a workaround, if not a solution. I have no problem with the US layout of the keyboard, just needed Portuguese special characters. The workaround is to tap and hold the key then the special characters appear. For instance, if you tap and hold "a" you can access "á, à, ã" etc. So this works for Portuguese and Spanish at least. Don't know about other languages. Hope this helps others.
PS: of course there still remains no T9 beside English.
How can i change my keyboard language from english to greek . I go to menu , settings , language and keyboard , touch input , settings and the default language is only english and nothing else .I want to put there the greek language so i could write with greek with my hardware keyboard . Thank you

I'm also interesting in changing my languages. For this purpose, I tryied to change it by using morelocales. The result is that now, I'm well localised on websites (i.e, youtube from the good country). But I don't have the good language predictive feature.
In the keyboard parameter, I have configured a foreign language but I don't see any difference.
How can I solve this?
Thanks for your help.
I forget. I tried by using swype. It works with the virtual keyboard but I lost the predictive feature with the physical keyboard.
bump.
i would also like to be able to use Chinese pinyin on the hardware keyboard.
Using google pinyin works, but i have to change the input everytime because the english sucks.
Hi, i have LG Quantum with Mango. And I need to use not only English keyboard layouts(English, Russian etc). Using hardware keyboard was a prior goal in my phone. I try many manipulation with configuration but find out that only English and German keyboard layout can be switched on hardware keyboard. On-screen keyboard work perfect. But even when i'm on software keyboard switch to Russian, and than open hardware keyboard its automatically switch to English layout. May be there are any option to edit registry or some DLL's to use other layouts in hardware???
Thanks
