Multiple Languages? - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General

Hey everyone! I have the HTC Touch Dual with 20 keys, but I have a problem. See, I've been living here in Spain for about 4 years now, and I had a blackberry prior to this purchase, with a full qwerty keyboard, so I had no need to change between languages and such. So my question is if there is a way to have both dictionaries (English + Spanish) together. I saw a friend with his iphone, he had both languages installed at once. I'm wondering if there's any way to use the predictive writing tool while having it look through 2 languages at once. Is that possible? Thanks!
Kent.

just a thought, but maybe merging the two languages in the xt9 language file?

OMG! Do you know how to do this!? Is there a way to do this!? Wooo you just got me sooo excited

any results?
Hi guys, have you tried copying two different language files into one? Does it slow down the XT9 recognition (memory...)?
If you have identified the location and name of the files to merge, plz let me know.
Thx.

So far nothing. No one has been able to help. I'm still asking around.

I need exactly the same , merge french & english

I just put in 14 in 1 language XT9 pack, and it works great, but still a pain when I have to switch languages everytime I want to type in a different language. Is there a way to remove languages that you don't want?

Can you briefly explain what you did?
If I unterstand correct, you _did_ copy multiple files into one (which and where?) and it seems to be working for you.
So why do you have to switch languages now? Shouldnt you be able to simply type and the T9 file (containing multiple language data bases) recognises possible matches from either of the contained languages?
2)
Proposal: Is there a chance to write a brief macro toggling between languages and make it configurable by a simple GUI to choose the language files to switch?
-> any takers for this challenge? Thx.

Well, I just found that 14 in 1 cab, installed it, and restarted. Worked great! And STILL Works great! But now I have 14 languages I'd like to get rid of 12 of them Any ideas?
What I was saying is that what I have to do is click and hold the asterisk, bring up the menu, click XT9 Languages and then click the language I want. I wish there was a way to do it faster.

Quickmark showing boxes instead of words

Am using the Dopot CT9000 with the English ROM and there is this program called Quickmark which I think is a name card scanning software. The thing is, all the instructions in the program are in boxes and not in English. Is there any way around this?
Does TyTN have this program?
Tell me pls the following:
1. Which language -exactly- have you installed on your device?
2. What filenames have the two files Quickmark.xxxx.dll (whereas xxxx stands for the landcode as defined by Microsoft).
Check this and post it here. Then there will be a solution for you.
The QR Codes are really cool!

Thank you so much for your help.
1. I presume the language is english as everything else in my CT9000 is in English and all. The keyboard has some chinese strokes but that's the only thing chinese about it. My software version are as follows:
ROM: 1.23.707.1
ROM date: 06/28/06
Radio: 1.06.00.10
Protocol: 32.37.7010.01H
Is there any other information you need to know?
2. The 2 files you were talking about are as follows:
Quickmark.0409.dll
Quickmark.0804.dll
Would appreciate any help I can get on this.
Thank you.

QuickMark.0409.dll contains the english text.
QuickMark.0809.dll contains the chinese text.
So, delete QuickMark.0809.dll and either rename or copy QuickMark.0409.dll to QuickMark.0809.dll, so the program will always find the dll with the english text.

Hello,
well Chinese isn’t Chines as is with German and German (or English and English) in the sense of localization as defined by Microsoft !
Just have a look at this most valuable “List of Locale IDs” published by Microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/winxp/xp-lcid.mspx
I had the same problem as you when I first started Quickmark and was even puzzled for a moment when I had restarted it again, having changed the locale ID to German.
All menue items kept showing up as little boxes – which is what one usually sees when there is a problem with the localization.
Resolution was that there is a special modified Locale ID for Austria !
(Here in Austria German is the official language, but there is a Local ID for German (Austria), which is 0c07 and for German (Standard = Germany), which is 0407.)
When I changed the English language file to Quickmark.0c07.dll (instead of the previously tried Quickmark.0407.dll) the English menue showed up again !
As you mentioned that on your keyboard you can see some Chinese keys I’d suppose your device isn’t a US-English version.
Also I’d assume from the flag you are using next to your nick that your native tongue isn’t English either, correct ?
What you should do:
Go to Settings | Language (or Localization or whatever it be called on your device) and check, which language you have set there.
Then look up the Locale ID for this language setting in the table (see link above).
Replace the Locale ID in the filename of the English language dll.
Reboot !!!
Now you should see the English menue instead of the boxes.
I don’t know anyone where this procedure hasn’t resolved this problem !

However I do not understand the Settings > Language part. Where can I find it? Under Regional Settings? Or somewhere else? I hope you can guide me on this as I could not find it.

Yeaaaah !!!
The QR Codes are a really cool application.
Actually in my opinion the coolest "fun" application I can think of.
(I am no gamer, so those games do not really phascinate me.)
However on a MS Smartphone (I have the Qtek 8300) and Nokia phones (tried it out on my 6680, whose camera is quite good) this application even works better:
You just have to point your phone onto a QR Code (can even be done rather fast and unprecise) and the action is triggered automatically - WITHOUT having to press a button, as on the TyTN !!!!!
This is a BIG advantage, because when pressing a button you move the device a tiny little bit.
And as the camera resolution of these phone devices aren't too high, this might be enough for not being able to decode the QR.
Actually I have no idea why Quickmark has decided to add this "Press a Button" requirement on the TyTN.
(Maybe they just ported the code and the automatic trigger mechanism is different on the Hermes platform.)
Anyway Quickmark should optimize this for the TyTN !!!!!
What do you think ? (Question to the audience.)

ET9 input method for Shadow

The input method come from official 1.11.531 WWR ROM
I just ctreated a cab file which can automatic install.
If you are english user using my rom.
you can use this to go back to ET9
It was not fully tested, because i dont have a shadow.
If it work, please send me a reply
Thanks for the Chinese rom. Though the T9 does not work. I can only type numbers after installing this one. Was trying to use the * button to change
input method in messaging, but the * button always just lock the device.
The Chinese input method works, though it does not match the keyboard layout at all. I guess a mapping instruction would be helpful if fix is not possible.
Thank you for your testing.
I will repack the Et9 and upload again
Hi, HiKey. I tried something else and this is an interesting thing I found.
I found this language pack and installed it. Funny thing is, none of the 14 languages showed up. BUT, now when I press and hold the *key, instead of locking the device, it now give me choice of Pinyin, Bihua, Number, T9, ZiMu(ABC), and I can choose and use each fine. So I guess that your rom may already have a few input options, but may need a reg change to the *key from lock to switching input method. Just my 2 cents.
http://www.modaco.com/content/htc-j...1925/modaco-shadow-xt9-language-pack-14-in-1/
Well, now I can input everything. Just not matching the Shadow keyboard layout. But still a great improvement. Thanks again for the great and stable ROM.

[REQ] HD2 Greek support

Hello,
Is it possible to extract the new Greek keyboard (SIP) and T9 from the newly released WM6.5 ROM for htc Topaz and use it in Leo?
I've tried - unsuccessfully - to do so, in order to install the Greek keyboard and T9 LDB to my Leo. The Leo comes with ROM 1.43.405.1 WWE.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello again.
Is it possible to include a Greek T9 dictionary with this Greek keyboard?
Keep in mind that there is a limitation on that. You can not send 160 greek characters per sms with this keyboard yet, it is limited to 70. We are searching for a solution on that.

The greek keyboard as well as the greek T9 are already pre-installed in your device. Some image files are missing however, and as a result of that you can not activate Greek language unless you either install the missing images (tsipistri's post) or modify the greek xml files to link to the english images.
These 2 solutions are posted here
I have not tested T9 with tsipistri's solution yet, but with the changed xml files T9 works flawlessly.
Regarding 160 sms, it seems right now that there is no ability for the ezinput application to write in GSM encoding. So, if you need 160 sms you can use Finger keyboard.
Hmmm Greek affiliates from Cosmote and from Chios island....
Well the Greek Leo ROM is out on my hands lads...why such an effort for extra cab files...

This will be possible with either a new SMS-oriented on-screen keyboard or a in-memory solution patch (like the one used by ACE Hellas) where non-GSM characters are swapped with the correct ones.
For the time being, I have no problem sending Greek SMS of 160 by simply employing some common logic: typing always in UPPERCASE English and switching to Greek uppercase only for the non-latin characters.

Amazing idea! It works. I know how to fix it now.
Stay tuned for a working version with 160 sms. I will release it very soon.
English - Greek ezinput keyboard with ability to send 160 characters in greek sms
Instructions
1) Uninstall any other version of this or tsipistri's keyboard
2) Install the attached cab file
3) Click on the white box next to the space bar in order to change between Greek and English Unicode letters.
4) From either English or Greek keyboard click on 12# box in order to write sms with 160 Greek capital letters
5) All removed symbols have been relocated to ABC menu or to page 2 of 12# menu
I am now working on an alternative version that will include 3 different keyboards (Greek, Greek SMS & English)
Great job Step2p, I will try it when I'm back home
Thank you very much for your efforts.
A red skin version with some bugs corrected.
If you haven't noticed it yet, long press entries are already activated in the sms keyboard. If you long press the capital letters you will enter the symbols that normally appear above them.
The file size is larger due to the included skin images.

Hi Step2p.
Many thanks for providing this nice keyboard.
There seems to be a problem when using it though, described originally here. The thread suggests that the problem is related to a registry hack, however, I have confirmed that I have the same problem irrespective of the registry setting. I am only noticing this behavior when using the greek keyboard.
Do you think you could have a look?

[Q] Is there any guide for changing the language of the ROM??

Hope flash english to chinese.Anyone can offer a guide about how to do this?
Thanks in advance!
clarkkov said:
It's quite easy, but it depends on the ROM you are using. Some ROMs support specific languages (locales). To change the locale go to phone's "Settings" app. Tap on "Locale and text" entry and then tap on "Select locale" entry. Select your desired locale and reboot the device.
Sadly I have not seen Chinese locale in SG3 ROMs (probably because I was never looking for it). There is Korean locale in most of SG3 ROMs. Try flashing a couple of stock ROMs to see if they have Chinese locale or wait if someone replies which ROM is he using to get Chinese locale...

Thank you all the same……
Maybe my description is not clear enough ,I mean how to make the ROM support chinese by modifing some files of the ROM.
My english is not good enough,hope you can understand……
clarkkov said:
Oh, that's another matter...This would include translation of the corresponding files in the framework, and the OS itself. All .apk(s) need to be translated, which considers decompiling and the recompiling the whole .apk, hunting down the GUI .xml(s), adding the translation and so on...Isn't there Chinese Android translation/localization?
...and I forgot one very important thing, the Chinese fonts and grammar! This can cause many compatibility issues. As I understand, Chinese characters cannot be translated respectively from Alphabetical characters. This would involve coding/writing a new/separate module for decoding and encoding Chinese characters. If Chinese is similar to Korean, this is the place to start. Word prediction and autocerrect software would have to be written also - for the keyboard, new keyboard layout etc...A lot of work (assuming there is no Chinese localization for Android).

Thx a lot.
There are people who do the translation work on the Internet.But they are not able to turn every ROM to chinese version,especially when i find a ROM which i like from xda. I think i should try to find out how they do the work and learn it……
