[Q] other languages - Acer Iconia A500

currently there are only 7 languages available... is there any way to implement more in a future release (custom rom or patch)? i' ve read somewhere that this is a google subject and acer can't do anything about it... (i think a user send an email to acer about it and they answered that)...
honeycomb should have more languages till now...

The problem is easily solved through market for the keyboard languages.
But the issue of the honeycomb ui, can' t be solved with an application...
By the way, multiling is a nice one, i use smart keyboard but the layout isn' t satisfying in landscape mode, so i'll give it a try...

The keyboard is not the problem... the keyboard has a lot more languages than the Ui.
I´m going to make a call to the norwegian support tomorrow and ask about more languages and especially Norwegian for my part.
I got mine from Scotland a week ago, and hoped it had all the languages as i´m used to from my HTC phones. But no such luck.
This device has now been released in Norway, and i hope they can give me the rom.

If you have any info regarding this issue, post it here please...

I have now spoken to the Norwegian support team and they say that as long as I have bought this outside of scandinavia, it will not support other languages. And they have not got any rom to give out. So I can eathe wait for an official scandinavian update or install what he called a "unlisenced" program/rom from some developer. If I installed from a developer it would not take away the warranty on the product only take away the support on the program.
So i hope someone can take a scandinavian A500 and get out the rom and post it here so we can get support on more languages. The scandivavian models usually have a lot of languages installed.

I doubt it that there is a scandinavian version because acer mentioned that it is google's issue the language support. I bought it here in Greece and installed there are: english, french, german, italian, spanish and two chinese i think.
I'm surprised by the fact that they advised you to install a custom rom... custom rom demands root, root means hacking, can harm the device (if you perform overclock for example or bricking the device if something goes wrong) in any way the warranty is over... as far as i know from my mobile phones so far, there isn't such "dual" warranty, one for software and one for hardware simply because software (especially custom) can damage hardware...

I totally agree with what you are saying. I was a bit shocked that he sugested what he did. I will contact one of the stores here in Norway that sells the A500 and ask if there is Norwegian language on the one they sell. If it is that's great....if its not...then Google have some job to do on the gingerbread. We can't live with just those languages.
Edit: Just got of the phone with a norwegian retaler and they could confirm that the A500 that they sell do have Norwegian UI.
One of the staff had just bought one himself, any could confirm it.

Acer support just mailed me saying that Greek language isn't supported by Honeycomb... The don't know when it will be implemented and they advised me to download some apps... I have to say i'm a bit disappointed... i don't know who to blame though... Acer or Google...

Hi,
I have the same issue. I bought a Iconia outside of scandinavia. I would like the swedish ui.
The thing is that i got a System update message yesterday. I havn't installed it yet. It doesn't say what it updates just that it is a 1.126.03 version.
I guess this is the build number. I currently have the 1.016.03. I wounder what version the scandinavian models have.

Language pack CD ?
Same problem here...only 1 language available...
I called ACER support BNL and they told me that it is possible for retailers to order a language pack CD from Packard-Bell.
Next week i will try to get this so called language pack CD.
If not...maybe somebody else can try to get it ?
Greeting to you all...

I would like to buy the A500 in Austria, they told me that the UI is in German and can't be changed to English. What do you think?dose I will be able to chang it to English? I don't want to be stuk with German ( which i don't talk) I'm on vacation in Austria and in Israel i can't buy it.thanks in advance for your quick reply

Which is false.
My Acer is imported from Austria and yes the only language selectable is German but you can use English language. Just install morelocale (free on market) and that's it. My device is in English now.

Dutch Language

Hey guys,
My first post here
Nice forum!
Getting a XDA II soon with the latest UK rom installed.
My question is: Is the Dutch language included in this update?
Thanks
Marcel
aka Panja
as far as i know you need to get a special rom to get other languages
they are as far as i know released somewhat later then the english ones
and people seem to have a bit more problems with them
kinda like normal windows in other languages
Ahh ok...
I have a Smartpone atm, SPV e200 and I can choose a few languages.
Ofcourse a Smartphone can't coop with the XDA II.
Than it will be English
Thanks for the reply.
i would think that a pda have a lot more text which had to be translated then a smartphone
guess ms also think that smartphones are more for everybody and not just l33t d00ds like pocketpc's
though you could keep yourself updated with the forums some dutch upgrade may be out there somewhere
know that people talk about french and spanish roms once in awhile
Thanks m8
I will be looking forward if it will be released.
But probably not an o2 rom (dutch) than because o2 doesn't excist anymore here in Holland.
Telfort became o2 and than changed back to Telfort again...
o2 is gone in NL...
Cheers

Swype V3.19.20.20.6343 on TP2!

Please see message #141
THANK YOU! So much. Can't wait to try.
very fun to use, takes a bit of getting used to at first entering words but you soon begin to pick up speed and accuracy!

Haha, I would be using the term "legit" very loosely if I agreed with you. If this was "legit", then all the cooked ROMs would be "legit". And since HTC and M$ hasn't seriously cracked down on them, then they have to be legit!
Nonetheless, Swype works great. I really like the size of the keys in landscape. I wish the default landscape keyboard was of this size (with the space bar on the bottom rather than on the side, of course).
sounds good enough for me!
and yea the landscape keyboard is quite good to use
It was quite good and interesting.. although wonder if there is any support for other languages aswell.. for example norwegian and dutch
I've never heard of this before, but I just-now installed it -- it's quite cool and works amazingly well!
From the guy who co-invented T9 text input...
I'll give it a try although it does seems a bit complicated to use but from what user say so far it works good and much faster then typing...does XT9 work with this?
Thats a cool KB I have a question though, does anybody know whether we can make the TP messages and all backgrounds within the system BLACK instead of the default white? It will sharp up the contrast and will be definitely cool!!!!
Thx
I installed this and it is awesome, highly recommend it to anyone.
Now this is freaking Awesome ............
installed it on my german rom, but get an error. can't find english_us or similar. are there some options to change the language?

SlideIT supports the following languages:
Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish.
They are going to add more additional languages as :
Turkish, Croatian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Romanian, Greek, Estonian, Slovak and Polish.

All these languages...but no English?
Or is English assumed?
I installed the cab and installation went fine. But I don't see option to "swype" in my virtual keyboard. Do I have to enable it?
(I'm running Tmobile stock ROM, if that matters)
So, if you click the little triangle next to the pic of the keyboard you don't see the Swype option below?
Also, many people don't know that Swype has an options screen so I've included pics of them too.
pretty sweet keyboard. Really polished. Works as a nice alternative to EzInput. Perhaps we'll find some themes and stuff for it.
Just Downloaded it and will try it out. Looks pretty cool though.
I know that I am an outsider here now (used to have a xv6700 and a xv6800)
I have an Omnia I910 custom rom, I installed this I have the option for it but when I select it, it looks extremely distorted andI am unable to see anything to use it any ideas?
oh btw cant wait for HTC HD2 to get here I want one so bad

Official 1.61 ROM when?

Im sorry if this question is stupid, but I just can't find the answer.
The 1.61 WWE version has been out for quite a while now, however do anyone know when the german, danish, norwegian etc 1.61 ROMS gets officially released?

Maybe it's not comming in Denmark. HTC has a strange policy in releasing firmwares, some comes out worldwide others just locale. Since there is already a 2.01 in play as well I don't think we will get that 1.61 as a HTC release.
It certainly would be rather nice with a new danish ROM update for our HD2... I can't believe the treatment HTC are giving their costumers.. 4 hotfixes! Nuff said: Bring on an update... NOW!

I agree, but having followed the HTC Hero and Magic users in danish forums I am not setting my hopes up. Besides there are some really nice cooked roms here now that are certainly performing better than the 1.48 we get in Denmark. I don't mind the language being english since I already use english on my computer.
True true... One problem though, with the current cooked ROMS, is the stability... I'm using my HD2 for phonecalls, messaging, email etc. in relation to my work. Therefore I simply need a ROM I can trust. I'm not saying that the cooked ROMS wont get there, is KNOW they will ... But for now i'm more comfortable with a good'old stock ROM .... (Though I proberly will give some ENERGY to my HD2 when the time comes )
I don't mind the phone being in english either... The only problem is XT9... I know u can tweak the registry to have danish XT9 in WWE ROMS... The only problem is that it requires some WinMO expertise... I don't have that yet
If somebody made some .CAB solutions to easy "multilanguage XT9 selection" in WWE ROMS, it sure would make things a lot easier for ordinary people, and people with very little time

search on youtube "toshiba t-01b" next version tg01
Are you talking about the Toshiba Dynapocket T-01B for Docomo and/or the IS02 for AU KDDI in Japan? I believe it's also known as the KG01. I tried to get one here in Japan but they don't have it in English and the store said Toshiba won't be making it in English. Sounds fishy to me! Also looked at the new Android phone -- it's twice the size of an iPhone.
Anyone have an English ROM for the Dynapocket?
http://t-01b.windows-keitai.com/
i think u r talking about K01(IS02)...
i get some new said toshiba will shiped it in Eu?
i like this k01
Yes, looks to be the same (K01). Don't know where else it will be shipped.

Yeah, its K01, in Japan it has sold ~400$ with name Docomo T-01b , anyone know link to download rom of it?

maybe from the official Tosh site???
AU employee told me yesterday that Toshiba said they weren't going to make it in English. AU themselves were going to try and find the "program fix" for it instead of going through Toshiba.

Swype n' Danish.

Would anyone confirm for me that it is possible to use the Swype technology with the Danish language?
Ive never seen a video or read a danish review where they show it :/
hi from another dane!
this is from the Swype homepage..
Hi All,
We've had so many questions about which languages we support, we put together a list! Thanks for inquiring. Currently Swype supports:
English (US and UK), French, German, Italian, Spanish, Danish, Dutch, Malay, Russian, Slovenian,Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Romanian, Slovak, Swedish, Serbian (Latin Keyboard), Czech, Greek, Polish, Indonesian, Norwegian (Nynorsk and Bokmål), Turkish, Icelandic.
We just need to sit back and wait i guess. (for the new version that is.) currently 1.54 doesnt suppport Danish.. i'm looking forward to it though
-TB-
Do you know if the danish support comes with an update or so? :/
I must admit i really dont know... maybe its going to be released together with froyo or maybe its an individual download... the homepage doesn't really state anything..
-TB-
Funny enough, if you go to samsung.com and look up the phone from there - it advertises with Swype, written all in danish..
I called thier Danish support, and he promised me that Swype will be an danish too with the froyo release.. Or at least i think he ment froyo since he started talking about "portable hotspot" feature also.. He even said they had it running internally, but that it was not yet public..
Ill go ahead and by one as soon as telmore.dk gets it in thier stock - which should be around this or next week..
I flashed the phone with the JG1 firmware and I can choose Norwegian, Swedish and Danish SWYPE.
Tried the norwegian one and it works good. I've only have one problem with it, "i" becomes "I".
