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???
Just found out something really puzzling... I always use the on-screen keyboard, which works perfectly well in french and english (both languages I use commonly), apart from the fact that the layout itself changes when you change the language but still it works.
My issue is about the hardware keyboard (i.e. on the slider). there the layouts are inverted, meaning when I am in xT9 french, the layout is qwerty, and vice versa !
Anyone had the issue already ? if so, any answer to this please ?
ok nevermind, just called HTC Europe in France, it's a known bug awaiting for a patch...
Got my HD2 as wwm phone and with surfing around this forum i manage to change sense to danish and install tx9 language pack, only thing i need now is help to change keyboard layout to danish, after what i read it can be don in the registry, any one now how ?
Thanks in advanced !
Hi
I got a WWE Leo. However, I'd like to change the keyboard to "qwertZ" instead of "qwertY". Also, I'd like to change the spelling correction language to german. As far as I remember, both was possible with the old Touch HD (blackstone). How can I do it on the HD2?
Regards
Fermin
I would like to have qwertz too
Hi guys! my HD2 got the keyboard in chinise. I can write in english, but the symbols keys are all changed (i compare it to the keyboard of my HD) and the shift key is smaller to allow the key for chinise caracters to be entered.
