I have the files to convert it to spanish keyboard layout, but I don't think it's the same as german.

What are the names of the files, that i have to change? Maybe i can find some german files...If i flash a Rom with german layout and take these files it should work right? Can you also call me the direction?

The folder in /system is called /usr
The there are 2 folders in there that you need to replace with one from german rom.

thanks for your answer but i would prefer doing it without adding any programs any other ideas?
AFAIK, its impossible without installing anything because there is no setting to change that. i might be wrong though...

[PATCH] Italian, French (AZERTY), Greek and Portuguese layout for physical keyboard

Hello guys, as described in the title, i've reworked the generic.kcm file to give an italian, french and greek generic layout for the keyboard.
Ampinto has ported the portuguese layout, so a big thank to him for his work
It's not 100% perfect, but work pretty good, tested on 3.1 acer rom, taboonay mod V.1.0.4.
I would say a big Thank to Salleq that was first to modify Generic.kcm for his language.
That need root access
the installation it's really simple:
1. With a root explorer, go into /system/usr/keychars
2. Make a backup copy of the file Generic.kcm
3. copy the new Generic_(language).kcm.txt into the mentioned directory
4. Rename Generic_(language).kcm.txt into Generic.kcm
5. Fix permission read / all, write / proprietary, exec / none.
! IMPORTANT !
I'm not responsible for any damage or problem occurred to your device!
I hope that will be usefull for someone
Update: fixed accented letters, download again the file to get the update
Update-2: Added initial release of french (AZERTY) layout, must be tested, i haven't an azerty keyboard...
Update-3: Updated french layout, download again to get update. Fixed two wrong keys on french layout, please, report if find wrong or missed keys.
Update-4: First release of greek layout, must be tested for fix wrong keys, i haven't a greek keyboard, so, please report me any problem and it will be fixed.
Update-5: Fixed French layout, now work!
Update-6: Added Portuguese layout, credit for this goes to Ampinto.
I would be gratefull if someone try the french and greek layout and report me a feedback for fix it!
Thanks

No problem, i would be pleased
If can be useful i can create the cwn script.
In the next days (when i'll find a bit of time) i'll try to fix the accented letters.
P.S. If someone want his keyboard layout, can ask for the release
Attachment to the first post updated: fixed some wrong symbol and accented letters. Download again & replace!
First post updated for all friends from france
Hope that will be usefull ^^
It probably will ;-)
Thanks.
I've updated the french layout and fixed two wrong keys on that, see first post.
Ciao Rhys! Do you think you could do a greek layout too? You can have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#Greek for the letter map.
Thanks!
i've already see the greek layout, now, i have not time, but tomorrow i'll do the porting

Thanks for that, you are quick! I can't try the greek one immediately, as I am away from my desktop, but I will as soon as I can.
It would give you a lot of work to implement a Portuguese keyboard?
Many users would appreciate.
Thanks a lot.

As an example, in "GO Keyboard" there is special button to switch between...
@tatuk: thanks for the info!
@ampinto: no problem, but after the weekend

I tested the french one and my physical keyboard is still in QWERTY instead of AZERTY.
I tried to replace several times the file but, same issue.
Thanks for the report, now i'm going to see the logcat to find the error!
Soon the update

Samsung Keypad only English UK showing up... Need help!

Only English UK is showing up in the Samsung keypad t9 language. But my language Dutch Belgium is showing up in Swype and gingerbread keyboard...
I have this issue with sumee and kyrillos rom... I had the language before using the same version.

Wrong section bro.
Yes, for all it shows UK English only I guess. XXJPQ bug maybe.
Is there a file I can maybe mod? where are the settings stored? maybe I can mod it manually to use nl_BE language instead of en_UK

It hides the languages at random. Try rebooting some times..

My phone runs in nl_BE language like usual. but in the Samsung keyboard settings only the en_UK language is showing up. That is my problem. While swype has the nl_BE or nl_NL language.
I am now trying to reboot see if that solves it. But I rebooted my phone several times last days.

Aurora ICS keyboard languages, spelling and prediction.

It looks like the keyboard doesn't have a dictionary yet, and there are only a few languages on the spellind menu, and they don't appear to be working.
Is it just me or this is normal and dictionaries are missing?
The words that come up are very few and very different from this video here, for example: youtube watch?v=48RRFvWpsss (cant post links yet LOL)
Is there a way I can install dictionaries or should I just use another keyboard?
still there is no dictionary able in code when every dzo get the code he must put in rom
we need to wait
thanks for dzo great work
Try Smart Keyboard )
it's awesome and better

It works, just replace the files in system/app (I did it even before installing the ROM, in the zip file). Note, thought, it doesn't have some languages, like portuguese...

Thank you...

There are no language files to add as languages are part of the ROM.

Hi mate
First thing you should tell us is what custom rom do you have or what you mean for a foreigner rom ...this will help us to help you
In TW roms with stock keyboards the keyboard dictionary can be downloaded in settings / language inputs / language
