[Q] Dictionaries in 4.4 "KitKat" - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone!
Im new to this forum and (posting) but i have been reading here for ages, and i have really been struggling to find an answer to this.
I have been using 4.3 ever since it came out, and i love it, but i would really like to upgrade to 4.4 since, i like to be up to date with the newest features etc.
But i have located a minor problem with all the 4.4 builds i have tried, (PSX, Rastakat and Stock image) the dictionary for my language, Danish is not available.
In 4.3 when i marked Danish as the language for the keyboard, it would automatically download the dictionary and apply it, it does not do that in 4.4 and therefore it is pretty useless..
I know i can install a different keyboard, but really i have been using the AOSP one for ages, and like it the most, so if someone have a trick to get this working i would be really happy!
I believe this is also a problem for other languages besides Danish, but i have not been able to find any solutions, can some one help me?

I'm not sure if this is the case, but I had a similar problem after going from stock 4.3 to Paranoid Android. There was no option for my language (Lithuanian). But when I flashed a different gapps package the language was available

I have actually not tried that, although i have flashed BANKS GAPPS along with the rastakat signed one, but im not sure if thats actually the same, i will try to flash with PA GAPPS
*EDIT*
I have installed PSX rom with PA GAPPS now and i the dictionaries are working once again, thanks for the tip maslelviz!

not sure if sprint has muti-languages on there device.But check under settings> locale and text > select locale. And see if there's any other languages to choose.
When I was messing around with PNG files from the new Pancake ROM, I DID find a Phone apk that has Chinese symbols on it. I'm not sure at all though how you could enable that.
You can install MoreLocale, then select chinese as your UI language.
But there is a serious problem in sprint factory rom that it can not send unicode SMS corretly. The receiver will see messy code when u send chinese SMS.
This problem exists in all of Android 1.5 roms on XDA forum, and it is resolved in all of Android 2.1 roms. As u know, 2.1 roms are still in test.
Luckly, there is worked 1.5 rom in the world. This issue is resolved by chinese developer.
You can download worked 1.5 rom from www .diypda .com /forumdisplay.php?fid=237
(trim space please)

I'm not sure about the stock ROM but in the 2.0 AOSP ROM I'm running right now I can easily change languages and there are two Chinese options (I'm assuming one is traditional and the other is simplified.)
Menu > Settings > Language & Keyboard.
Might be worth upgrading your dad to a 1.6 AOSP ROM for at least. (I suggest 1.6 since everything, pretty much, works in those ROMs.)

Does 1.6 have chinese support? Also if the rom2.0 has chinese does this mean the upcoming 2.1 patch from sprint will have chinese or they'll try to condense the size and put only english/spanish again.
楼主可以下载一个叫custom local的程序来更改Hero的语言。当然,是不完全汉化,但是日常应用肯定没有问题。这个程序可以在baidu和其他Android论坛搜到。
Op could download one apk named customlocal to change the display language. It doesn't change all the menu to Chinese. But it could be used daily. You could download this apk through baidu or the other Chinese andriod forum.

Darky ROM 10.2 - Swype not working

Hey guys, new here
Running DarkyROM 10.2 resurrection on my i9000m
I didn't have swype at all at first, so I downloaded some multi language pack for my ROM, and it says it is for a different device and will not work correctly or something like that, the keyboard just flashes blue after I try to make a word
Also tried to install a swype pack I found on here, and it wouldn't even install with recovery.
So I ask, anyone have swype working on darkymod 10.2 resurrection?
If someone could point me to another .zip to try I would be grateful.
Thanks.

You do not mention your device... I guess it is i9000 (and not 9001 or something else).
In that case you can find many swype packages in xda to flash through CWM that will do the job for you. The risk is low on those occasions (your device will start but if it you didnt flash the correct swype package then you just will not have swype) BUT a backup is always recommended!
For example i use this (light) CWM swype package that also uses little space on /system:

[Q] Right to left language support

I'm new to this, so I apologize if this has been discussed before.
I am trying to get Hebrew support on my phone. Any existing hebrew and hebrew that I type comes out backwards. I'd like to avoid rooting/modding, or whatever since I'm scared of destroying the phone, unless of course there is no other way to do it.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
I have the same RTL problem. I live in Israel and I need Hebrew support. Stock 2.2 versions have Hebrew support so SMS messages are displayed correctly. New 2.3 stock ROMs lack this support. They have the fonts, but Hebrew is displayed left-to-right. Is there any way to add Hebrew support to 2.3 ROM? If not, which custom ROMs have good Hebrew support?
Hi,
I think i have a solution.
Download and explores apk Swiftkey X
Keyboard isn't the problem. The problem is how the text is displayed.
RtL support: FIXED
After scouring the internet with no viable solution, I decided to join the world of rooting and modding/Romming (?). I read as much as I could and was as careful as possible. The solution? I rooted my phone and installed ClockWorkMod and CyanogenMod7. It has Hebrew built in and can switch back and forth easily. Built in keyboard also has the option to change languages by sliding the spacebar. I will post step by step soon. It's been over a week and so far everything is working fine. I would suggest backing up your current ROM (after you install CWM but before CM7) just in case.

[Q] Is there any option to put language from one stock rom to other?

Hello there. I used stock GB JW4 rom for europe, but it seems that it got some bugs. Anyways there are newer versions of stock GB roms, but I wanna know can i somehow put Serbian language from JW4 to some other such as JW6 or other stock, since JW4 is only one with Serbian language in it? Thanks for answer.
Yes.
Decompile most system/app apks and framework-res.apk + tw-framework.apk in source.
Pick serbian translation res xml files.
Decompile identical apks in target.
Copy translated res xml.
Compile.
... a tiny bit easier to work with de-odexed apks
The next natural question would be:
Why Android - built on Linux platform, didn't implement methods to handle multilang. used waaaay back in Linux and Windows (vista/7)?
Thanks a lot for answer, and im happy that I can get my language. But i dont really understand what you said. Is there any easier way to explain? From where i should decomile etc? Sorry for troubles, but I really dont understand

[Q] AOKP JB 4.1.2 - How to change hardware keyboard layout to german?

Hello everybody,
two days ago I found this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906026) and installed it - successfully ... so far. The rom works much better than my previous one (tezet's CM10) and has even more options. But I can't get one thing working. It's the layout for the hardware-keyboard. I can type but online letters from a-z. Z and Y are correct positioned (as on the german keyboard) but when I press alt oder left-shift and then try to type a number or a special character, nothing happens except that two little arrows appear at top and bottom of the cursor pointing to its center.
What I tried to solve this problem:
- Changed languages at the settings-panel to german whereever I found such a setting
- Installed this layout-file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32586129&postcount=35
- Extracted, copied and overwrote all files from the folder /system/usr/keylayout off of the rom I used before where everything worked fine
Unfortunately since I'm new to this site I do not yet have privileges to post right in the thread of that rom. So I'm sorry I opened another one. I hope for sympathy and help.
Big thanks in advance,
parameta
Sorry if my answer will be of little help, but here it goes.
I understand that you cannot access any special character without Alt. Have you tried by long-pressing a button ?
Furthermore, the QWERTZ keyboard is not supported yet for AOKP for Milestone 2, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32029006&postcount=3.
The latest build of your ROM was released on 2012-10-15, but it is based on CM10 which has seen 4 builds since that date, including a really major one. I suggest you ask Megalith27 to release a new version of his ROM, based on the all-newest CM10. (Maybe I'll do that if I learn how to do it.) However I don't know whether that will solve your problem or not.
I understand this response is not so helpful, but I didn't want to leave you without any sign of life for ages.
Tschüss !

You will be able to get a qwertz keyboard in this Rom for sure.
just follow this link, and download my qwertz file. replace it as described. It will work. But replace just that one file. Not all the files as you have done!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32586129&postcount=35
So reflash the rom zip in recovery, and do it again. You will get all the olf files back, this way.
If you want to read this how to in german, please send me a pm. I will give you another link....
I'm sorry for my late reply, but here I am.
First of all, thank you for your answers.
@Agmenor:
Yes I tried long pressing and this way I get the usual small window with offers some special characters and letters. But that's not very comfortable.
I believe, if Megalith27 had to compile a new version auf this ROM that would be too much of an effort with too little use. But thank you anyway.
@lulli1
Will I be able to write letters and special characters with your linked files or will I only get a quertz layout? Typing special characters and letters without switching to the softkeyboard or long pressing buttons is one of my demands on this rom.
By the way, do I know you from android-hilfe.de? If yes, call me "MalzMalz", that's me. If not, ignore this line.
Greetings,
parameta
