Simple question about wizard keyboard

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???

Problem with Accented Characters in Letter Recognizer

Hi everybody,
On my Orange SPV M700 (a customized version of HTC Trinity) I can’t get the accented characters option to work in the Letter Recognizer. I am studying German and therefore ä, ö, ü are very important to me. Also, the Letter Recognizer is my most favourite mode of character input.
I have checked the option for activating the accented characters under input settings, but it still doesn’t work.
When I enter any accented character it seems like the M700 draws the character but then immediately erases it (when I say immediately, I mean in milliseconds - its barely visible).
I have done a lot of research on the web and found postings from people with the same problem, but no solution.
Thanks for your help.

Same problem here with croatian letters: š, č, ć, ž and đ.

Try the PCM Keyboard found here http://pocketcm.com/keyboard2.php it can be customised to suit your needs it also has many keyboards already set fro many differen languages.
I find it really good.

Thanks, but I have the problem with the Letter Recognizer - the handwriting recognition tool that I like to use most for inputting characters.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Go to www.sunnysoft.cz to download the Interwrite Small application that will certainly help you with š, č, ć, ž. However, I am not sure about the đ. It will give you the keyboard and enable the Letter Recognizer to write the characters.
However, this soft does not solve my problem, because my Letter Recognizer does not want to write the accented characters such as ä, ö, ü that it normally should when the "Allow Accented Characters" option is checked in the Letter Recognizer Options. As I said before, when I use the precribed way, the characters appear for a milisecond and then dissappear.

Problem solved. I installed both Penreader Czech Language Support for Windows Mobile Pocket PC (http://www.penreader.com/pocket-pc/...zech_Download_area_for_Language_Extender.html) as well as Sunnysoft InterWrite Small, version 9.1 CZ (http://www.sunnysoft.cz/software.php?idarticle=257) and now can input all kinds of accented characters - more than I will ever need.

qwertyu with danish letters

Hi,
When using qwertyu keyboard the danish letters æ, ø and å isn't present, you have to hold down the a or o letter to acces them.
Any chance for them to show up direct in the qwertyu keyboard?

dont think that is possible on qwerty you can try FingerKeyboard

It looks versy promising - il'l give it at try - thanks.

HD2 Swype, Swedish keyboard layout?

I see on Swype that Swedish is now available as a language-pack.. anyone who has been able to get the new packs working with the version for HD2 (version 5032)?
I love swype, but it feels a bit wasted to start building a personal dictionary when it will be lost as I eventually switch to the Swedish one (and characters I need like å, ä, æ, ö and ø are not available in the english one)

[Q] Where is the international layout on the ASUS on-screen keyboard?

As a resident of Norway I'd like to have a Norwegian layout on the on-screen keyboard. The standard Android keyboard has it, but the ASUS keyboard doesn't. The Norwegian dictionary in the ASUS keyboard is quite good - but its useless without our local characters æøå (which is missing in the layout). The Android on-screen keyboard seems to be missing the Norwegian dictionary (it only get hits from the contact list!).
Does anyone know how to get anything else that the US layout on the ASUS on-screen keyboard? And does anyone know what happened to the Norwegian dictionary on the Android on-screen keyboard?

No idea on the dictionary, but for the norwegian letters, I imagine its similat to the swedish version. Press the a/o and hold it for a bit, and you will get options, including swedish/norwegian letters.

The same is for true for ASUS Finnish keyboard - no direct umlauts and long pressing a/o is a subpar solution.
I use Swedish Android keyboard when typing on-screen and switch to ASUS Finnish keyboard when using Scandinavian keyboard dock, because the keyboard dock is not functioning properly when stock Android keyboard is selected as the input type (pressing "ä" on keyboard equals ";" in produced text).
Bit inconvenient, glad that it is quite quick to change the input type.
