New MK 808B arrived with Chinese language selected. Is there a simple way to navigate to the language selection in settings when one cannot read the headings? There is a warning at start up, written in Chinese and I am hesitating to make selections when I do not know what I am selecting.Thanks, Henry

...and when you go to sleep, pray to the Keyboard Fairy that when you wake up, the buttons on the keyboard will have moved to match your registry setting.
Keep praying every night until they move. I promise you it will happen.

I have been using my xperia for about a month now and when I bought it, it came with a memory card to help install Arabic. The software is called Multilingual Support 3.0 from MoBiDIV.
I have it on "English with Arabic enabled" because I only need to read Arabic messages and do not want the menu in Arabic. This is all fine except sometimes when I am typing an SMS in English, the language randomly changes to Arabic and I do not know how to change it back so I have to shut the device off and switch it on again for it to go back to English input.
If anyone can tell me how to change it back to English without having to restart the phone, I would appreciate it because it is becoming very annoying. I do not need to type in Arabic and the keypad does not have Arabic letters on it anyway. If I have to type in Arabic, I can use the virtual keyboard installed.
Sorry for my long post, hope someone can help.
is your text alignment in the program set to context? and did u change the regional settings and the settings in the program to english uk? if so i cant see a reason for it to change to the right side..i have the same thin?
Yeah, it is set to context and my regional settings is set to English (New Zealand) because I like the time to be 12-hour.
It doesn't happen every time, but sometimes when I am in the middle of a message it changes to Arabic which leads me to believe that it must be some sort of keyboard shortcut such as (alt+enter) but I haven't figured it out.
I think you accidentally press the Arabic key board switch in the middle of the msg (3een)
I too have xperia with arabic Multilingual Support 3.0 from MoBiDIV
I just faced this problem today. mine is the latest ROM update. i only reinstalled MoBiDIV from the 128mb MiroSD card i got when i first bought my xperia. i found that when you press the blue function key then the shift button (fun+shift) the keyboard switchs to arabic and you can't go back to english.
the only things you can do is lock the shift key where you can have all the english litters in CAPITAL and if you unlock the shift key you'll returne to arabic
i didn't try soft reset i just disabled the arabic support restart and then re enabled arabic and i'm back to normal.
Hi everyone,
I am sorry but I am not a dev at all, but I was wondering if anyone can dev a keyboard layout switch...
I have checked many post and if I am not getting it wrong, you have to go to "setting>local ..." to change the keyboard layout and T9 dictionnaries.
My point is, as a french, english, chinese keyboard users, I have to frequently change my keybaord layout. So I was wondering if anyone can compilate a mix of the following applications (can be founded on market) :
-apowersms (if you go to setting, there is a language filter, which is very interesting because you can choose which language keyboard you need) (and the keyboard layout isn't so bad looking)
- softkeyboard (for the keyboard button, when you press it long, you can directly change to the language you want)
I have also haykuro Hero Rom, as you can see in the following video, there's tool and keyboard button, maybe we can use this as a base....

I would be happy to help in developing this, but i don't know how
no one interested by this?
This one mostly goes out to my fellow Swedish forum dwellers but if anyone else has a solution please chime in.
My brother just got himself a Galaxy S, partly on my recommendation. He bought it from a Swedish (we presume) web shop but he seems to be lacking swedish characters from they key map. He is not using Swype but the Samsung keyboard, he changed the phones language layout to Swedish but that wasn't enough.
If you check the keyboard language, its set to "automatic" but he cannot - apart from me, set it to Swedish.
This seems very strange, is it an import phone? And if so - can he add the Swedish language somehow?
This seems strange to me as well. Although I am not an expert, I can say that on my SGS bought from a Norwegian internet store, the samsung keyboard was included with the Norwegian layout. So, I guess, it should be the same for the Swedish phones.
I just downloaded the "Scandinavian Keyboard" on the Market by Trygve Aaberge. It's free and you can also get a dictionary if you want.
1. Open the Android Market App & search for "Scandinavian Keyboard"
2. Download the one by Trygve Aaberge
3. Once installed head over to the keyboard settings
(Settings -> Locale and text //English OS)
4. Enable Scandinavian keyboard and go in its settings right below
5. Select desired language for the "Keyboard layout".
6. A bit further down you can also find "Download dictionary".
7. Choose the dictionary language you want as it sends you to the Android Market with correct filter/search
8. Once installed head all the way back to the Scandinavian keyboard settings.
9. Enable dictionaries and select the language you want.
Now in any field to input text just hold-press/touch until you get the option of choosing "Input Method" and select the keyboard you want. Android will keep using the latest chosen keyboard.
Hi, I am developing my first app (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2376406) and I'd like to change 2 things:
1) "Apollo style" layout. I'd like to have a swipe-ish layout, so I'll have many tabs easier to use because -for example- into the "quadratic equation" tab I could insert 3 EditTexts, one for each coefficient, and there couldn't be a syntax problem (because you don't have to use spaces and commas)
2) use different strings INTO THE CODE. I have already translated the application (buttons, texviews) using many strings.xml, but I'd like to be able to choose a string instead of another. For example, when I handle errors, I want the string "error" to appear if the system language is set to english, "errore" if it is set to italian, "erreur" if it is set to french and so on
Can you give me some advice on how to do this two modifications?
up, i need your help!
