Multiple Languages?

Hey everyone! I have the HTC Touch Dual with 20 keys, but I have a problem. See, I've been living here in Spain for about 4 years now, and I had a blackberry prior to this purchase, with a full qwerty keyboard, so I had no need to change between languages and such. So my question is if there is a way to have both dictionaries (English + Spanish) together. I saw a friend with his iphone, he had both languages installed at once. I'm wondering if there's any way to use the predictive writing tool while having it look through 2 languages at once. Is that possible? Thanks!
Kent.

just a thought, but maybe merging the two languages in the xt9 language file?

OMG! Do you know how to do this!? Is there a way to do this!? Wooo you just got me sooo excited

any results?
Hi guys, have you tried copying two different language files into one? Does it slow down the XT9 recognition (memory...)?
If you have identified the location and name of the files to merge, plz let me know.
Thx.

So far nothing. No one has been able to help. I'm still asking around.

I need exactly the same , merge french & english

I just put in 14 in 1 language XT9 pack, and it works great, but still a pain when I have to switch languages everytime I want to type in a different language. Is there a way to remove languages that you don't want?

Can you briefly explain what you did?
If I unterstand correct, you _did_ copy multiple files into one (which and where?) and it seems to be working for you.
So why do you have to switch languages now? Shouldnt you be able to simply type and the T9 file (containing multiple language data bases) recognises possible matches from either of the contained languages?
2)
Proposal: Is there a chance to write a brief macro toggling between languages and make it configurable by a simple GUI to choose the language files to switch?
-> any takers for this challenge? Thx.

Well, I just found that 14 in 1 cab, installed it, and restarted. Worked great! And STILL Works great! But now I have 14 languages I'd like to get rid of 12 of them Any ideas?
What I was saying is that what I have to do is click and hold the asterisk, bring up the menu, click XT9 Languages and then click the language I want. I wish there was a way to do it faster.

Adding or changing xT9 dictionary?

I've got english ROM but would like to be able to use some other dictionaries (in addition or instead of...) like norwegian and/or swedish.
I've been searching this forum for "add xt9 dictionary", also under other WM6.x devices like Diamond but have come up with nothing useful.
It seems like HTC Diamond and others use "eT9" dic's and the registry keys referred to does not exist in X1
HTC= HKLM\Software\Tegic\....
X1=HKLM\Software\XT9 Input Method\...).
The only regkey that exists in my X1 under XT9 Input Method is "IMEmode=0".
- Anyone with a swedish ROM that could check their registry settings here?
- Does anyone now of a way to add or change xT9 dictionary on X1?
- Anyone with a swedish ROM who could send/PM me the "mssp2.lex" file located on root in folder "Windows"?

I have the Swedish rom, i also only have IMEmode 0 there.

OK, if you have the swedish ROM you also have the swedish dictionary. Could you pls copy and PM or e-mail me the "mssp2.lex" located in folder "Windows"?

Anybody with a swedish ROM who could send me the "mssp2.lex" file located in folder Windows\ ??
If so, pls pm me and I´ll send you my e-mail address.

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Changing_Device_Language
I'm not sure but this site might help you?

Thx for the reply but it did not hlp me solve the problem. The thread is not applicable for Xperia. Neither of the mentioned registry keys are on the Xperia.
However it did help me in realizing that the *.lex file would not solve my problem sinse it apparently is only applicable for spellchecking (?) and is not used for the predictive text input appearing when messaging (?).
...so the question is now back to what the thread says: how to change or add a xT9 dictionary to Xperia??
Looking through some other threads for other (HTC) devices on this forum most of them refer to a "...Tegic\eT9..." path in registry which also does not seam applicable for Xperia.
All I have in registry is HKLM\Software\XT9 Input Method\IMEmode = 0.
Which files controls xT9 ??

An up for this problem... I am unable to change the dictionary used by the hardware keyboard. Actually I have Jack ROM, but would like to use my own language dictionary... any useful idea?!?!

[CAB] Chinese support(CHS font only now) for Artermis ROM [UPDATED 02-May-2010]

Hi all,
This post is about getting the orginal WWE Asia HTC HD2's font into Artermis ROM.
1) Install the attached cab
2) Soft reset
Note 1: I only tested in fresh ROM environment, which is V10,V11
Note 2: These files are taken from RUU_Leo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.66.707.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe
One step closer to stock ROM "Philosophy"

Hi all,

I have tried various cabs before like ricky, RobRedbeard- LIA, sunglobe etc... and i have no idea what are the cabs actually doing. some of them even replaced the original wince.nls, create some junk reg keys, make chinese font in some app overlapping...
Here is the safer technique to get chinese font support without messing around with the system files and registry.
1) Download the attached zip file and extract to your storage card
2) Copy UCSH00B-gray.ttf to \windows
3) Import this registry file, SystemLink.reg
4) Soft reset

looking forward to your findings mate. cheers

temporary solution
I just tested with artermis v10 with the following
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6295918#post6295918
steps
1) download the attachment then extract all the files to a temp folder on your desktop
2) go files folder, copy & paste EzInputSettings.exe.0804.mui then rename the new file to EzInputSettings.exe.0409.mui
3) copy all the dll files from those folder name end with .ddl to parent folder (../files). you can skip HTCSipSrvc.dll
4) now go to your device, change SIP to other. change home to titanium
5) go to /windows folder and rename those dll file with same name you modified on your desktop temp folder to xxxx.dll.old( total is 11 files)
6) copy the temp folder on your desktop to your HD2
7) use total commander to move all the files inside files folder to /windows, replace all the dll & files (must make sure no overwrite error)
8) import app.reg
9) soft reset
Finally stock rom chinese support in WWE rom
Now just waiting for a kind soul to help to convert this into cab
UPDATE: Only pinyin and stroke is working...
ABOVE SOLUTION IS UNSUPPORTED NOW

i replaced the wince.nls, but nothing happened. i still dont get the 5 chinese regions in regional settings. also, can you check if your first post method works for google maps 4.1? in google maps, under settings, speech language, there is an option for mandarin. all i get are square boxes.. it should write chinese language, in mandarin of course. any fix for this?

Maybe try the following:
- rename the existing wince.nls to wince.nls.old then copy the new one.
- inside your registry... remove this key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink] then import the reg file from 1st post, if everything ok, only 5 entries will be recreated as following
"HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin"="\\windows\\UCSH00B-gray.ttf,AR CrystalHeiU20 Bold(gray);\\windows\\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"
"Helvetica Neue OTS"="\\windows\\UCSH00B-gray.ttf,AR CrystalHeiU20 Bold(gray);\\windows\\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"
"Courier New"="\\windows\\UCSH00B-gray.ttf,AR CrystalHeiU20 Bold(gray)"
"Tahoma"="\\windows\\UCSH00B-gray.ttf,AR CrystalHeiU20 Bold(gray)"
"AR CrystalHeiU20 Bold(gray)"="\\windows\\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"
remember to soft reset ... then enjoy the new font

replacing the wince.nls directly doesn't work. You need to use it with reloadnls.exe which will have to be in the startup folder. do a search for it and you will find your answers. I used to write a thread for this as well, so you can try to search for it.

that would be easy, if you guys really want it, I mean the traditional Chinese display and supports,
I may make 2 cabs tonight
cab 1: CHT display (mingliu.ttc, pretty fonts) and input (from Samsung HK keyboard),
cab 2: same as the above but added wince.nls with Chinese regions.
please pm to me to show your request in order to let me work on it ( I am currently using the second method )

Hi Dioxda2,
i ever try your 2 roms.

thanks in advance for clarifying

Hi
I need hand writing for Chinese input，Can you dump your chinese version ROM and share with us?
Thank you

[Q] Is there any guide for changing the language of the ROM？？

Hope flash english to chinese.Anyone can offer a guide about how to do this？
Thanks in advance!

clarkkov said:
It's quite easy, but it depends on the ROM you are using. Some ROMs support specific languages (locales). To change the locale go to phone's "Settings" app. Tap on "Locale and text" entry and then tap on "Select locale" entry. Select your desired locale and reboot the device.
Sadly I have not seen Chinese locale in SG3 ROMs (probably because I was never looking for it). There is Korean locale in most of SG3 ROMs. Try flashing a couple of stock ROMs to see if they have Chinese locale or wait if someone replies which ROM is he using to get Chinese locale...

Thank you all the same……
Maybe my description is not clear enough ,I mean how to make the ROM support chinese by modifing some files of the ROM.
My english is not good enough,hope you can understand……

clarkkov said:
Oh, that's another matter...This would include translation of the corresponding files in the framework, and the OS itself. All .apk(s) need to be translated, which considers decompiling and the recompiling the whole .apk, hunting down the GUI .xml(s), adding the translation and so on...Isn't there Chinese Android translation/localization?
...and I forgot one very important thing, the Chinese fonts and grammar! This can cause many compatibility issues. As I understand, Chinese characters cannot be translated respectively from Alphabetical characters. This would involve coding/writing a new/separate module for decoding and encoding Chinese characters. If Chinese is similar to Korean, this is the place to start. Word prediction and autocerrect software would have to be written also - for the keyboard, new keyboard layout etc...A lot of work (assuming there is no Chinese localization for Android).

Thx a lot.
There are people who do the translation work on the Internet.But they are not able to turn every ROM to chinese version,especially when i find a ROM which i like from xda. I think i should try to find out how they do the work and learn it……

[Q] AOKP JB 4.1.2 - How to change hardware keyboard layout to german?

Hello everybody,
two days ago I found this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906026) and installed it - successfully ... so far. The rom works much better than my previous one (tezet's CM10) and has even more options. But I can't get one thing working. It's the layout for the hardware-keyboard. I can type but online letters from a-z. Z and Y are correct positioned (as on the german keyboard) but when I press alt oder left-shift and then try to type a number or a special character, nothing happens except that two little arrows appear at top and bottom of the cursor pointing to its center.
What I tried to solve this problem:
- Changed languages at the settings-panel to german whereever I found such a setting
- Installed this layout-file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32586129&postcount=35
- Extracted, copied and overwrote all files from the folder /system/usr/keylayout off of the rom I used before where everything worked fine
Unfortunately since I'm new to this site I do not yet have privileges to post right in the thread of that rom. So I'm sorry I opened another one. I hope for sympathy and help.
Big thanks in advance,
parameta

Sorry if my answer will be of little help, but here it goes.
I understand that you cannot access any special character without Alt. Have you tried by long-pressing a button ?
Furthermore, the QWERTZ keyboard is not supported yet for AOKP for Milestone 2, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32029006&postcount=3.
The latest build of your ROM was released on 2012-10-15, but it is based on CM10 which has seen 4 builds since that date, including a really major one. I suggest you ask Megalith27 to release a new version of his ROM, based on the all-newest CM10. (Maybe I'll do that if I learn how to do it.) However I don't know whether that will solve your problem or not.
I understand this response is not so helpful, but I didn't want to leave you without any sign of life for ages.
Tschüss !

You will be able to get a qwertz keyboard in this Rom for sure.
just follow this link, and download my qwertz file. replace it as described. It will work. But replace just that one file. Not all the files as you have done!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32586129&postcount=35
So reflash the rom zip in recovery, and do it again. You will get all the olf files back, this way.
If you want to read this how to in german, please send me a pm. I will give you another link....

I'm sorry for my late reply, but here I am.
First of all, thank you for your answers.
@Agmenor:
Yes I tried long pressing and this way I get the usual small window with offers some special characters and letters. But that's not very comfortable.
I believe, if Megalith27 had to compile a new version auf this ROM that would be too much of an effort with too little use. But thank you anyway.
@lulli1
Will I be able to write letters and special characters with your linked files or will I only get a quertz layout? Typing special characters and letters without switching to the softkeyboard or long pressing buttons is one of my demands on this rom.
By the way, do I know you from android-hilfe.de? If yes, call me "MalzMalz", that's me. If not, ignore this line.
Greetings,
