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!

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???
I have the language installed on my phone, now i have converted all my contact's names into arabic (including the english ones).
Just one problem, when holding the down button on my wizard, it brings up the massive A, B, C, D, E, F, ect scroller to jump from one letter to antoher.
Is there a way i can change these letters to arabic characters in the registry or are they integrated into the contacts application? please let me know.
Bump... Anyone?
last call...
I own a TC UK version, and I edited the registry as described by jeroen_76 to be able to use the Dutch T9.
Now when I use either the keyboard or the keypad I only get digits, no characters or symbols. Strange thing is, when it is in character mode, it shows the ABC key. If you press this, it switches to digit keys.
What did I do wrong?
I recieve exactly the same behavior after installing the german language on my XDA Orbit II with bepe ROM..... is there a key combination to enable/disable the numbers? On a notebook i would hit the "Function" key ...
Hi everyone...
I'm new in the WM world so i'm asking for your help:
How do I get PCM Keyboard to work in Portuguese?
I tried the 0.14, with a portuguese layout I found on the web (the only one I found!!!) and iphone skin... it works but... it has some bugs:
- missing the "_" in the layout
- when I try typing the name of a contact in a SMS so I would normally get the contact suggestion, the list only appears when a click on backspace button (ex.: I want to send a SMS to John, I type "J" (nothing appears), I continue typing "JO" (still nothing), then I click on the backspace button (and ONLY THEN, a suggestion list appears).
I installed the new version (0.24) but it's impossible to find a portuguese layout!!!
Any portuguese in the room (or others you may know where I can find the files I need...)?
Thank you so much!
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
