Thanks much! This works excellent!
This is pretty much awesome. I'm scribbling everywhere and it's picking the correct words or at least suggesting them every single time.

If it isn't asking to much I would love it if you were able to make a version for Swedish, preferably with the Swedish letters " åäö " but otherwise just with Swedish dictionary

Hi there,
This works really fine!
Could you do a german version for me?
keyboard layout is qwertz!
This were great!
got pm,
if you want to try yourself see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685006
Hm, i can only see German, Italian, Spanish, French, EnglishUS, EnglishUK and Russian dict in my old trial version with keyboard layouts qwertz, qwerty, azerty and russian.
If anyone could have made å version with norwegian dictionary for me, it would be awesome! No special letters needed..

Bug:
Using Swype disables browser multi-touch. So apart from trying it out, I can't use it.
-------------------------------------
- Sent via my HTC Desire -
reboot! ... should be fine then
Tried it out, works great, i still prefer use a compact qwerty but maybe that because iv used it for 2 years and im used to it. does work good though very accurate.
that would be very very nice if you could do a english/french version.
If you don't have the time, I'll try myself.
Is there an expiry date or something by the way ?
thanks again !!!

Yes you can. Install LocaleSwitch from the market and you can set any region with any language. And if you are wondering the interface supports cyrillic - it can be made to Bulgarian, so there is no reason it can't be made to Russian.
Thanks m8 that was helpful I got it working now

Add a language to the phone?

Is there anyway to add a language to my phone other than english and spanish? For example, I've been learning Norwegian and I would like to set my phone as Norwegian instead of english to help me learn more. Is there anyway of maybe porting it from a norwegian I9000 or something? Or is there a source to download languages?

I wanna know that too,on my Mytouch Slide 3gs I had other languge options(about 15 of them) strange that Epic dont have it.
I guess no one knows?
Call Sprint CS
If you talking about swype keyboard then the only way is to root a and delete preinstalled version and install beta from swype.com. Another alternative will be to find a keyboard with support for the language you need. That is what I did.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Gingerbread keyboard on the Market has tons of languages and language add-ons. Check it out.
not just the keyboard, but the entire phone's language, the locale. I would like to add norwegian since I'm studying that language and I know the I9000 is in Norway. Is there anyone here that can port it or something?
Try custom locale in market.

Persian / Farsi / Arabic fonts on Atrix

Hello all,
The Atrix recognizes the fonts I mentioned above but they don't seem to be rendered correctly. To be more specific, the characters show up but they don't connect the way they are meant to be.
I wanted to see what I need to do so that the Persian/Arabic fonts are correctly rendered. I have installed the freex10 on my old Xperia X10 and it worked fine for these fonts. I did a search on the google and found a tutorial that had the files that enabled the Farsi fonts on Xperia. Would they work on Atrix or the fonts are device specific?
Thanks much for your helps in advanced ...

so you'll know at least it works for 2 machines.
Any update ?
I did it ... you don't do it ... bricked the phone
heading back to best buy now
lol ... ok ... now I am up and running with the new Atrix!
I seriously hope that one the developers answers our call and help us with this font issue

I am wondering, if changing the libwebcore.co file will work on this one or not? It worked for me for the droid 2. If some one need access to the file that worked on Droid 2 , please let me know. I am planning to get an atria and Arabic is really important to me.
I agree, we badly need real arabic fonts on the atrix

Hello there, there is nothing wrong with your Atrix, unfortunately Android doesn't support those languages, it recognizes the font but can not put them together, if you read web pages you can download Firefox beta from android market it fixes this problem but there is no fix for sms or emails that you open from an email client ... hopefully these languages will be supported in the near future ...
Hmm ... its interesting what you are pointing out!
If there was a problem with the Android then I should have not been able to get it on my old Xperia X10!
The fonts worked on webpages ... facebook ... sms ... emails.
But I agree with the fact that the language is not installed.

This might be the biggest reason to get the Nexus S for me, pending the Ice Cream update...
So does anybody know how to install different languages on the Atrix?

Please keep this thread alive.
Thanks
I really don't know what else or how else I can do to keep this live
This seems to be at the very bottom of the list for devs here ... there is another guy in a different post who has offered $100 to the person who gets the fonts working ...
You can use Opera mini ... but its not fun and still not fully supporting Farsi ...

Oh speaking of which. There's an app in the market called Mirsal, Which will read arabic messages just fine.
Also, Firefox renders arabic fonts correctly. Super nice since it's my fav browser.
Still not the same as have things sorted in everyting inside the OS but keeps you going.

I'm welling to donate a lot too.
I did not know about this lack of official support for Arabic in Android before ordering my Atrix.
How google/android did not just complete those fonts for Arabic in Froyo is just beyond me! Android phones market here is huge! What a boost would that have been?
A lot of people I know have been recommending me to give up my iphone and try Android and I used to tell them there's not an android phone I like yet. And now a lot of usability is missing with my Atrix because of messed up letters. My iphone 3gs had a perfect Arabic language support. An innovative arabic keyboard, Arabic menus and proper arabic fonts.
Maybe there this is the solution ... ?!

it depends on the website, it isnt a rom issue, its how the website has been created to show the number as a callable link or not
