Android keyboard automatic shortcuts. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I'm latvian and in our language there are letters as ā, ē, š, ū and so on...
Question:
Is there an option (some keyboard or other method) that if I type two a (aa) and phone automatically transforms it to ā.
I found that stock android keyboard has shortcuts, but it doesn't change these phrases - they only show them as suggestion.
Thanks in advance,
Martin

Use a 3rd party keyboard maybe it'll help!

Yes, I have found 3rd party keyboard that does it, but I am not trully satified with keyboard layout and ergonomics.
So, maybe there is some option to force native android keyboard to do this... ?

[Q] Changing Language in Fabulous Gingerbread Keyboard for Word Suggestion/Prediction

Hey There,
I live in Germany and type most of my SMS in german.
I flashed the "Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) Keyboard" from Fabulous? under CM6.1 on my Hero. (the one from the "perfect setup guide")
it's working just fine, but the suggested words are all in english, which is actually pretty annoying, since I can make no mistake while typing.
Is there ANY way to change the dictionary/word-completion-database (whatever is responsible), so the keyboard actually suggests german words, when keyboard is set to german and english words, when set to same.
If I could only change it to one language permanently, I would still like to change it towards german.
If this doesn't work, which keyboard should I give a try? This should have a working auto-prediction in german under CM6.1
I know Swype and HTC_IME...
cheers
I don't think you can but have you tried changing your language on the phone if that does not work you might want to download smart keyboard trail from the android market then search for smart keyboard language the german language should be somewhere in the search result then go into settings then language and keyboard then check the smart keyboard trail then long press on then go into message and compose message then long press on any box and choose smart keyboard trail
phone language is already set to german. changing it to english and then back to german didn't change anything.
will give smart keyboard a try!
thanks for the suggestion.
try this one

guess it should work (let me know if it does )
and found this on my pc: should be multilangual.. with german if i
remember correctly (flash in recovery)
OR from android market..

[Q] [ANSWERED] how does the bluetooth keyboards work?

I have czech language keyboard layout with 4 rows (1 row is with special characters instead of numbers) so will a bluetooth keyboard work according to chosen SW keyboard layout or is it already set as any bluetooth keyboard is?
Thanks
Answer:
so....have just bought usb host and wireless Logitech MK710 CZ (keyb.+mouse 3 years battery life) works perfect with czech special letters!
So it probably depends on the keyboard. So dont need to invest in a new keyboard
So Android has no competitors ....again
bump...im also interested in this
I have tried it with a USB keyboard but I guess it will be the same on the Bluetooth one. It depends what layout is selected on the Tab - if it is Czech then you will write with this layout. This however works only using Samsung's keyboard or Go Keyboard. When I have selected Swype - the typing is with US layout, no matter which layout was chosen.
Please, could you try Hackers keyboard and set czech language??
Thank you!

Doesn't work, sorry. The top row of the keyboard is typing numbers instead of accented characters.
So,
is there any way to type these characters? Perhaps changing smthin' in the system?
I'm afraid that a keyboard itself must be built for an appropriate language

No, this is software issue. Is there a Czech layout for Go Keyboard?
Unfortunately it doesn't have
So is it an android software issue or a keyboard software issue?
It is an issue with the layout, which is in the tablet. I would try searching for a keyboard for the tablet where you can make your layout - map keys to characters. This way you can customize your keyboard as you wish.

[Q] Add Keyboard Language

I am using the stock Samsung keyboard that comes with the S3, and would like to use a language not included in the 37 languages under the 'input languages' menu/setting. Is there any way to install an additional language (Hebrew) to this keyboard without using a different one?
Thanks

My phone is still on preorder, so if you add install another keyboard, say swiftkey, can you use your preferred language, do the characters show properly?

[Q] Gesture Typing Dictionaries

Hi,
Recently I started using gesture typing and I prefer it over swype and any third party keyboard I've tried.
Problem is, that I can only get it to work in languages that aren't my native tongue (which is dutch).
But I wouldn't mind using the English dictionary if only I didn't have to add every non-English word I use to the dictionary manually.
So my question is: Does anybody know of a way to make android automatically add every word I type to the dictionary?
So that it can be used in gesture typing from then on?
cheers
PS I do not look for the solution to add the dutch dictionary, because there is none until slim bean comes with a new build that fixes this.
bump
anyobody? shouldt this be an easy thing to manage?
I was also looking for this feature.
Quite easy:
- add new words to your peronal dictionary
- enable 'show correction suggestions' in keyboard settings
That's all

Could you please develop a QWERTY keyboard as well. Please?
There are some good QWERTY keywords out there. What problem do you have with them?

Eh, not fully sure exactly what's needed... but will this help?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_(Unicode_block)
Maybe you want me to try to lay them in a similar style like you did? or it has some particular name so I'll search for it?

Can you type all the characters in the attached image here in the same order? It helps me to find the Unicodes easier.
Ok, I'll write each number with the letters on it:
2 - דהו
3 - אבג
4 - מםנן
5 - יכךל
6 - זחט
7 - רשת
8 - צץק
9 - סעפף

When I'm at a field that it is needed to type with a keyboard, I can use the Google keyboard, but when I switch to the multi tap keyboard, The multi tap keyboard does not open.
Hi, thank you for adding Hebrew.
But for me as well it's not opening now the keyboard unless I switch to the Google one
Sorry for that, please check the new version I just released.

There is been a change in the new API that broke a small part of the keyboard. I fixed it in the new version.
Well, I tested it now,
And it works mostly, I already forgot how actually T9 was fast, for a smartwatch it makes more sense than qwerty I think...
But there's 1 bug I guess, when something is typed already, the Globe icon supposed to turn into a delete icon and act like it, but what happens is that the delete works but it stays as a globe icon.
Another bug is (I think it happens now on English as well) the button to switch to numbers/symbols, it works but the actual view stays on the letters.
And on Hebrew, there are no big or small letters, so the button where it supposed to switch it, acts as inputting of something that I'm not sure what it is lol.
Another feature request (maybe it's not possible) add a microphone button for speach to text for the current language (I'm still hoping to be able to dictate on Hebrew to the watch)
But overall, it works great!! I can't even tell you how happy I am for this! thank you!!!
