Changing keyboard layout to non english - Nexus One General

Hi.
I just ordered a N1 through a friend and I live in sweden.
Is there a simple way to change the keyboard layout to support swedish characters or if there are some other software that can do the same thing?
Thanks.

Good questions. I constantly change language too, and would be good if it is as easily as the iPhone keyboard.

Norwegian keyboard

I have already done the registry hack and have the norwegian layout now but since the physical keyboard layout is english it is hard to find the other symbols as software layout has been changed. So is there any way to change the physical keyboard itself to Norwegian? Also where can I find the Norwegian ROM. The phone's selling in local market have the Norwegian ROM.
You want to replace the buttons?

Yes I want to replace them.
Maybe you should try HTC support with that one.
Yes, ask your service center if they can replace it as a spare part. Parts and labour will probably cost.

How to input Ping-yin
In order for me to text messaging from US with someone in China, I had to use Ping Yin (alphabet for Chinese). But the new layout of Shadow's keypad plus predictive text made it impossible. Is the predictive text scheme for Tmobile Shadow T9? How do I disable it? Any tip on how to use Ping Yin with this new design of keypad? Does someone know of a rom for Juno in Simplified Chinese? TIA a whole bunch.

quick change input language

I always configure the UI of my mobile phones with english. But I write sms/emails in French, German, English & Spanish. Android does not seem to offer the possibility to quickly change the input language of the keyboard. It looks like UI language both determines keyboard layout and input language, which is EXTREMELY inconvenient for someone using several languages on a daily basis.
Does it exist a workaround, an external app or a feature I oversaw to solve this major drawback? Keyboard layout and input language should be configurable both independently from UI language.
Thanks for the help

*bump*
I have the same question, for somebody that uses different languages on a daily basis it really is extremely inconvenient...
Any solution for this or would this be worth developing $$$
I have this problem as well.. I want to be able to switch between English and Dutch input.
My old sony ericsson's (W910, W580, W300) could do this by long pressing * or #, don't remember which key
I've got the same issue. So still nothing on this? I've been looking everywhere, haven't found a solution besides: switch language UI.
So Im not the only one? And I thought I was special. Oh well, Im having the same issue too and its a real pain in the arss.
Moving to General because:
OP ended the original post with a question.
Has nothing to do with the development of ROMs.
I had the same problem and found a keyboard replacement on the market: AnySoftKeyboard. That keyboard comes with different downloadable dictionaries and you can change layout and dictionary on the fly.
The layout is not always well done (e.g. delete key to small for the german layout) but works well enough for me.
Search for a modified HTC_IME which I found here on XDA, it suits this need perfectly. You can choose the subset of the supported languages you want to use, and cycle betweenthem with a gesture (I chose swipe up, but it's configurable).

[Q] Typing Accents on a Bluetooth Keyboard?

Hi, I recently bought a logitech bluetooth keyboard for android devices and I was wondering how I could type spanish letters with accents using it. Is there a way I can map a combination of keys to do this? I don't want to set the keyboard to spanish because the spanish keyboard layout is different than a standard english one. I also do not have a rooted device. Thanks!

This should do the trick, you don't need the device rooted. I found your post as I was looking exactly for the same.

I've got the same problem... did u solve it??
Swype typing does work for hebrew with the nexus 4 keyboard, I'm using a custom rom since I got the phone so I can't say 100% it works on stock but I doubt it's related to the rom.
You need to go to system settings> language and input> android keyboar(AOSP) setting --> scroll down and make sure "Enable gesture typing" is checked.
You can also buy slide it keyboard which is nice.

so far..
I have the same problem and have spent some time researching...
From what I've come to understand, the problem is related to a missing Hebrew dictionary... but I'll be glad if anyone could confirm that.
Anyway, it works on some roms which CyanogenMod based and use it's keyboard (for example LiquidSmooth)
I've also found this thread which has a flashable keyboard with the hebrew dictionary included but I've yet to check if it enables the gesture typing for hebrew so if anyone can verify that it would be nice..
don't forget to hit THANKS if I helped you.
I had this problem when i switched back to the Google keyboard.
After about half an hour received a notification to download the Hebrew dictionary for the Google keyboard.
All is working not, both prediction and gesture typing.
