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.

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:
http://www.smartphonefrance.info/img/Qtek9100-05.jpg
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!
:x
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???
I always configure the UI of my mobile phones with english. But I write sms/emails in French, German, English & Spanish. Android does not seem to offer the possibility to quickly change the input language of the keyboard. It looks like UI language both determines keyboard layout and input language, which is EXTREMELY inconvenient for someone using several languages on a daily basis.
Does it exist a workaround, an external app or a feature I oversaw to solve this major drawback? Keyboard layout and input language should be configurable both independently from UI language.
Thanks for the help

I have the same question, for somebody that uses different languages on a daily basis it really is extremely inconvenient...
Any solution for this or would this be worth developing $$$
I have this problem as well.. I want to be able to switch between English and Dutch input.
My old sony ericsson's (W910, W580, W300) could do this by long pressing * or #, don't remember which key
I've got the same issue. So still nothing on this? I've been looking everywhere, haven't found a solution besides: switch language UI.
So Im not the only one? And I thought I was special. Oh well, Im having the same issue too and its a real pain in the arss.
Moving to General because:
OP ended the original post with a question.
Has nothing to do with the development of ROMs.
I had the same problem and found a keyboard replacement on the market: AnySoftKeyboard. That keyboard comes with different downloadable dictionaries and you can change layout and dictionary on the fly.
The layout is not always well done (e.g. delete key to small for the german layout) but works well enough for me.
Search for a modified HTC_IME which I found here on XDA, it suits this need perfectly. You can choose the subset of the supported languages you want to use, and cycle betweenthem with a gesture (I chose swipe up, but it's configurable).

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 want to know too
I want Thai landuage on Europe Fw.
Up.
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.
Dear all:
I have been able to convert my German X2 successfully into Dutch/Belgian language using the information contained in another thread.
However, I am now faced with Dutch/Belgian language, with a corresponding AZERTY keyboard layout.
The trouble is that the German hardware QWERZU keyboard is now also typing in AZERTY layout and the keys do not correspond.
Question: how can one change the hardware keyboard layout in such a way that it reverts back to the German QWERZU so that I can at least see what I type?
I have searched all over this forum and elsewhere on the net, but found no working solutions so far. The solutions that were offered, do not seem to work.
Has anybody managed in doing so succesfully? If so, I would greatly appreciate urgent feedback as this is really annoying right now. Thank you so much.

you should use the AE Keyboard Mapper to replace the hardware keyboard layout, for AE Keyboard Mapper intentionally a specially designed key mapping almost all external or built-in hardware keyboard or keypad is connected to a Windows Mobile device. You can use it for "localizing" keyboards (if there is no support from the OEM keyboard driver on your language) or just for the mapping of some keys (like the conversion from AZERTY to QUERTY, the addition function by disabling the Ctrl key or application key binding).
my advice, you just visit his WebSite to get more information and also download it ---> http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php
Thanks for the hint. Downloaded and tried it but somehow I cannot choose any other layout than Russian. Even if I type in "German" instead of English, nothing happens.
I also tried out hints pertaining to the X1 (changing the registry etc) but these do not work either as the relevant registry lines do not appear. I guess there must be a difference between X1 and X2 in this respect.
All very disappointing I should say.
I have the US version, AT&T SGS3 phone, not the international one, and I would like to add portuguese (brazilian) to it.
On my previous S2 (international version) it came with but with ATT, it does not.
Anyway, if I go to applications, settings, language and input, language, it only offers me these 6 choices.
english
deutsch
espanol
francais
italiano
and one asian language that I cannot type!
or
if I go into the text message screen, then into the samsung keyboard settings, Language settings, it still only offers these languages
english
deutsch
espanol
francais
italiano
and one asian language that I cannot type!
anyway, I need brazilian portuguese. Is there any way to get that?
I did some searching and saw how you can open up 5 more "hidden" languages but those do not include portuguese either.
any help would be appreciated.
thank you.

that is a start. thank you for the link/idea. it helps somewhat in that it does change some things over to portuguese. which will definitely be useful. the one thing it does not do is go into the text messaging features.
what I am really trying to do is add portuguese to the swipe keyboard. There is a little toggle button you hit when you are inputting text. If you have three languages already selected, the button toggles between the three I need to add portuguese to that toggle because it then uses the portuguese dictionary to help me spell out everything I need to spell out, in portuguese.
anyone else have any ideas, input, solutions?
you can use swiftkey which has like 50 languages
I did a search on swiftkey. a million posts but I could not find anything on how to use it. I am a newbie with this phone and to this type of stuff. Can anyone help a brother out?
I have the US ATT version SGS3
thanks again....
anyone???
beuller?
anyone????
thx....
