I recently bought a Qtek s100 and have just tried it out... I don't know much about this kind of stuff, and now I've got a bunch of questions about settings abilities and upgrading etc.
I would really appreciate if someone could explain a few things for me.. since some of my question concern swedish settings and stuff, it would be great if someone from sweden would be that kind!
I would prefer to talk to someone over icq (55988176), but if you guys prefer I use the forum I'm okay with that...
My first questions:
Is it possible to write å,ä and ö while using the transcriber?
Is there any way to replace the english dictionary with a swedish one?
I'm also wondering about all the folders, what different folders used for? (it seems it's not a good idea to rename or delete certain folders)
Thanks for any help!

Swedish is possible if you pay for it, www.handit.se i think working on an program how let you write åäö. Here is from there homesite.
En ny version av Svenskt OS kommer under Q1 2005 som då även är kompatibel med Pocket PC 2003 SE (Second Edition) samt Pocket PC 2003 SE Phone Edition. De kunder som köper översättnings-licenser fr.o.m november 2004 kommer automatiskt att erhålla uppgraderingsmöjlighet till denna version.
IT COST
SEK 745 kr "106$" for an translation so fuc...ing expensive, hope it will come on DC++.
Dont tuch any folder at all. It have to be left as it is.

In transcriber it doesn't seem to be possible. However, in "Letter recognizer" there is provision for such characters. However, from testing it myself, the only one which seems to work reliably is å. Do test it yourself - could just be that my handwriting is poor.
Phatware produces a transcriber replacement called Calligrapher 7.4, which DOES have provision for Scandinavian characters if you buy an add-in pack.

There is also this: http://www.zicorp.com/decumaalphabetic.htm
One the website where I found out about it, someonesaid it was superb in terms of recognizing scandinavian characters. However, the person also said that when they uninstalled the demo, it totally wrecked their OS install with regard to inputs. So be aware of that.
On www.smartphone.no there is some discussion of Scandinavian characters. There is a download there for a free Scandinavian keybaord to replace the one in your input options. But it is only keybaord input, it does not change the transcriber, still.

As for the user dictionary, I have been looking to find out if it is possible to change - or at least edit it - and nothing so far.
Please post here if you get more info......
So, no good news it seems... A way to edit the dictionary would be really great!
Anyone who can shortly describe the purpose of different folders? (would be nice to know)..
New questions:
First, there seems to be some kind of problem syncing the calendar with outlook xp... I've got my schedule in a vcalendar file which i import to outlook... everything seems ok in outlook, but when i sync it with my s100, every appointment is set as "all day event", and also the dates doesn't match (some appointments end up a day to late).. This is really annoying!
Second, is it possible to have different colors for different categories in the calendar, like in the calendar in symbian os?
Third, can I change the path to where pictures and videos from the camera are stored? I have set the camera to store on my storage card.. It creates a folder called something like 200502050001... I would rather store my pictures in a folder called Pictures...
You can get scandinavian character layout for the builtin keyboard for free from:
http://www.idedata.no/support/support.asp?ID=195
It has different layouts for Sweden, Denmark and Norway. Works like a charm!
Excellent. Now the keyboard is truly usable. I just wish Transcriber would work.
I was thinking about installing the German version to see whether it works sufficiently well for Swedish. Has anyone tried this?

Calligrapher (which must have something in common with Transcriber, since the welcome screens are almost identical) has a swedish addon that works pretty well:
http://www.phatware.com/calligrapher/
Calligrapher costs $30 and the Swedish addon around $15. It works quite well, but the recognition relies heavily on the Swedish dictionary, so since I write messages in Swedish 50% of the time and Finnish 50% of the time, I've noticed that almost all Swedish words are correctly recognized, but Finnish words with scandinavian characters are rarely correct. I've started using a normal soft keyboard instead, since I realized I will never ever be able to handwrite faster than I write with a keyboard.
I've had some ideas about developing a keyboard map resembling FITALY for Finnish and/or Swedish. Fitaly has been created by analyzing a LOT of English words and putting the most common characters close together and also the characters most likely to be written in pairs next to each other.
The map would be completely different for Finnish and Swedish though and there's a learning curve, trying to absorb a new layout after so many years of qwerty. If I have time I'll give it a shot.

Hi all,
Ive never liked any other language than English on any of my devices (it just feels like a really bad synchronized German movie to me if its anything but English) and on my G1 this has always been fine because i just type wickedly fast on my physical keyboard. However, my fancy towards the English menus has infected my other half but she has a Magic so she would actually benefit from a Dutch dictionary, quick-fixes, suggestions and the works.
So here's my question to all you Magic experts; Is there a way to keep the systems language at English but change the dictionary and all stuff related to text input to Dutch?
Thanks!
Any input on this, anybody?
I would think this would impossible from my stand-point. You can only select 1 Keyboard input language (for this example, English) and this means that the dictionary it uses to spell check is the English one. I don't think you can change this procedure at all.
Hello, I'm having a trouble reading things in another language that's not on the stock rom.
I have installed the language and the key board and it works just fine on some apps like opera. I can read and type but when I recieve an email in other language, I can't read it. It's all in weird languages like ancient greek, some mathemetical symbols and what not. Can anyone help me?
I'm fairly new to the android circle so please forgive me if I'm missing something obvious.
My phone did not come with the Japanese locale and i want to install it. I have seen many language packs on the market but nothing for Japanese. Not even sure if it's the same thing. I am quite sure a Japanese Locale is available as it is in the 2.1 SDK. How would i go about getting it on my phone?
Thanks
What you need exactly? If you need the keyboard input, search for OpenWnn plus, it provides you the ability to input Japanese text. If you need the locale language, I think it is the ROM providing that (I also not very sure).
need japanese ui?
so, please install morelocale2 on the market
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I recommand you Simeji if you need a Japanese imput software, it's quite easy to use, and provides different keyboad layers...
if you need japanese UI, i can't help you but i'm pretty sure you can find some japanese rom on the web.
For the ui I would recommend MoreLocale2 from the market like zafy said. My parents use it for Chinese and it's great. I have also taken the time to look through the Japanese locale just to make sure it's all good as some users on the market are saying that theres some English bits left over. I can confirm that it works great on Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM 1.0c. The sense ui is also translated.
Hope that helps
I would like to know what keyboard languages are built in to the Fascinate? I hope it's not like the Droid2 which only offers English and Spanish out of the box... I need French too!
Edit: I figured out it only comes with English and Spanish by default... Bummer. I know there is an app on the Marketplace called "MoreLocale 2" which is supposed to allow unlocking additional languages. I wonder if it works well on the Fascinate. If anyone has already tried I would love to know the result!
