[Q] Norwegian/Scandinavian letters on Motorola Pro - Droid Pro General

Hi,
I am living in Norway and are looking into importing a Motorola Pro. Motorola is not present in Norway since some years ago so I have to import it from another country. In Norway we have three letters in addition to the ordinary letters. These letters are "æøå" and are not present on the Pro's keyboard.
My question is: Does it exist software that makes it possible to replace a string of letters with another string when typing? What I mean is if I write "aa" it become the letter "å", "ae" become "æ" and "oe" become "ø". So if I write the word "vaar" it will be replaced with the word "vår" or "soeke" will be replaced with "søke" and so on.
My second option is to change the key map so if I press for example ALT-A it will write the letter Å, ALT-S will write the letter Æ and ALT-D will write the letter Ø.
I would prefer the aa,oe,ae replacement option if it exist.
Thanks in advance
Jarle

Simple question about wizard keyboard

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!
: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???

ON-SCREEN KEYBOARD - WHERE IS THE "?"

I prefer using the on-screen keyboard with the enlarged keys, and with the "space" key.
The problem is, that I can't find the "?". So everytime I have to ask a question, I have to change the input method - that is so irritating. I have to say, that my keyboard is scandinavian - so maybe they had to sacrifice the "?" for the local letters we have.
But, if the "?" is there on the keyboard - then do somebody know where it is hidden? And if not, is it posible in changing the layout/some letters - in a simple and easy way?
On an English keyboard the ? is accessed via the shift key.
Unfortunately that is not the case om the scandinavian keyboard. Maybe it is because there are not enough keys - since they have to include three letters more than the english (æ, ø and å).
But they have included signs like: "["
A sign most people rarely use, but a "?" people use all the time. :?
Do they ? ;-)
Sorry I have no idea, but couldn't resist.

Changing the keys of the on-screen qwerty

Hi there and Merry Christmas!
Being a proud HD owner for two days now I noticed that the layout of the on-screen qwerty (qwertz in my case) is unfortunately not really "smilie friendly"
Due to the German language using such funny letters as ä, ö, ü and ß, the parentheses got moved to the symbol page.
Does anyone know how to change the 2nd-function layout of the keyboard?
Maybe there is even a chance to not only get parentheses back into the game but also make a whole character string just by pressing one button. Like a smilie key
Down below you can see the qwertz standard and "smilie" version.
So far it's only photoshop...
Hello,
I'm also interestd in this remapping...
Any idea to change the attribution of the 2nd function (long push) ???
Thanks...

infuriating T9 issue

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone else has the same hair-tearing frustrations as me when using the T9 predictive text.
for example...
type in S U P P O (the start of suppose or purpose)
you get suppo and then after the last two letter to complete suppose...the options you get are
ptppmpd and purpose!!
surely suppose has to come before ptppmpd as a word??? and yes I've tried adding it, but still I get the two options above...and this happens for countless other words.
what good is predictive text if it's going to wrongly predict that I talk gibberish??
I think the first word it suggests is always the literal string of characters on the keys you pressed. I agree: it's of bugger-all use.
There are many bugs in the T9 dialler keyboard but it's still the quickest method of input for me.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I may be wrong as I don't use T9 now but I didn't think it was. I'd try looking in the custom dictionary by running eT9MyWords.exe in the Windows directory. My guess is the random letters have accidentally been added as a word.

[Q] How to change the language of Contacts index letters?

Hi, guys,
I have come across a strange bug I think. I remember that with other Samsung phones I've had or played with, when I have changed the language of the entire interface this have had effect on the language of the contacts index letter sidebar on the right - you know, the one that helps you navigate to the first letter of a contact quickly.
With International Note 3 (N9005) no matter what I do to language settings, I don't see the index letters change. Any ideas can this be done in settings somehow that don't know.
The problem is that my contacts names are in cyrillic and I practically cannot use the fast indexing as in this universal alphpabetical order all the cyrillic letters come before the latin alphabet, somewhere after symbols and numbers.
Thanks
