I'm trying to use an external Bluetooth keyboard and my Find N language is set to English. But since I need to have Portuguese layout, I have installed SwiftKey and the layout is in Portuguese (no problem with that).
When I connect and pair my external keyboard (also with Portuguese layout), I can only write with the English layout on the external keyboard. So, I went to Android external keyboard layout and set it to Portuguese but I cannot use the Portuguese layout on the external keyboard.
I also check the configuration on SwiftKey keyboard and removed all layouts except Portuguese, but the external keyboard still "writes" in English. I downloaded, from PlayStore the extra layouts and apply it to android, same issue, no Portuguese layout.
Thinking that SwiftKey had some problem, I changed the default keyboard to Oppo's Baidu keyboard, but it's the same issue. Also in Baidu keyboard, I changed the layout to one of the available layouts but the keyboard still is using English layout.
Then, I tried a USB keyboard (not Bluetooth) with Portuguese layout and the same issue happens. Also, I made the same tests as mentioned above.
The problem is that, in the past, I was able to use Portuguese layout on my external keyboard, but after a reboot, I'm not able to change it, despite all configurations saying Portuguese layout.
So, my question: did anyone had a similar issue using external keyboards with different layout than English? Is there any adb command I can use to force a different layout on the external keyboard?
No one has this same issue?

Omg I do.
Did you find out the solution already?
Your problem is exactly the same as mine.
Ctrl+Space or whatever doesn't seem to be working.
It always stays at English. Please help
I wasn't able to fix the issue without doing a full reset. I tried to install a new set of keyboard layouts/keymap, but none worked for me. Since I had the upgrade to Android 13 available, I took the new version, but even then it didn't work. In the end, the solution was to full reset the device. After that, everything was working fine. My little understanding is that "something" (App or file) got "damaged" and the phone wasn't able to use the correct keymap, even after installing different keymaps.
By the way, one thing I noticed, when I had the problem, my Bluetooth gamepad also stopped working fine, so, I suspect it had something to do with the gamepad.

Hi!
I`ve got new Hero(official in Latvia), but it has some limitation to Poland/Romanian language. I wont to use it with EN interface including deal pad and English/Russian keyboard.
I was trying to set custom Local to RU, but is changing Interface to Russian. Is there any solution for setting interface and keyboard to different languages ?
PS may be there is some kind of en_RU locale ?
Thank you.
Same problem here. The only way to make TouchInput to support Russian is to switch to Russian locale which has Russian UI. I've seen many posts, were people asking how they can have bilingual keyboard, while keeping UI in English.
en_RU locale would be ideal, but MoreLocale doesn't show it.
Also, I've seen TouchInput apk (HTC_IME) available to download, but it seems to be English only.
If anybody has a solution to this - please help!

download "slideit keyboard" from market. and then download persian language for slideit keyboard. may b persian is available for other keyboards also but i have personally seen it for slideit keyboard only.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Connecting letters depends on your rom. At very first check out that your browser shows Persian sites like gooya correctly or not, then try MultiLing or SlideIt Keyboard. Its available in market and you don't need any font to install.
By the way you need to flash your phone with cyanogenmod rom to read Persian letters connected together (at least I experienced it by myself).
For non-cm7 ROMs, the letters may not appear connected.
1. Use Opera Mini browser for browsing persian / RTL sites: it render the text with connected letters but still there are some block characters due to non-supported unicode type character. but text is readable
2. Use "Mirsal" (you can find it in Android Market: and use this app for messaging, it works perfectly and support RTLs with arabic/persian/urdu language keyboards
Hey guys,
This dude here introduced a font:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=689811
I already rooted my SGS II i9100G.
The problem is I have no idea about steps he said to install that font.
Currently im using Juffo Rom which support persian language but has some issue:
it shows "گ" instead of "ک" and the letter "ژ" has not been defined.
any help?
techopedia.net/files/Iranian%20Sans-irsans.tar.bz2 is a full featured font for Persian (that as far as I know designed for android by farsitel group). I suggest you to use it
i am gonna help you out this time only coz you are kermooni
i assume you want farsi on a sense rom, 2.3 cyano already has support
the whole font thingy fits into two categories:
1. web based font processing (web browser and gmail and such)
if rooted: just search "brightidea" in market, install and run the patcher and you are good to go. i made a request to the author and he made the patcher compatible with any wildfire sense 2.2. credits to him
if not rooted: as mentiond your best bet is to use a browser like opera, unfortunately gmail wont work and i dont know any workarounds for it.
2. frame work (system menus, contacts, sms and such)
if rooted: search for DK CUSTOM rom in development section, there is an optional patch that takes care of the problem.
if not rooted: i am afraid there isnt much to do to remedy this, at least there is no way to take care of the problem completely.
you can use multilang keyboard to type in farsi regardless of all this, the above solutions are to properly read farsi.
side note: the reason you can easily type well connected words with multilang is that it takes care of the processing and connecting them before saving them, thus there is no need for the operation system to reprocess them again, it just reads them and shows them as they are. but if you try to read words that have not been processed by a program like multilang, like the text on websites then since these ones are not processed to be shown connected the OS just reads them as they are thus you see separated letters. the above solutions help OS to be able to process and connect the letters on its own.
let me know if you need help
From what I understood back before ICS there was no way to add another input language dictionary to an already compiled version of android on a phone. So most keyboards with multilingual support have separate language packs which can be downloaded optionally. However, this means you had to choose to use a keyboard other than the built in Android keyboard.
Now that ICS is out I flashed it on my Nexus S and noticed there are add-on dictionaries in the Language & input setting in Android Keyboard under "Keyboard & Input Methods" (click the 3 sliders to your right) and then towards the bottom under "Text correction" clicking on add-on dictionaries brings up a page with all available. Some are installed and some can be installed. Unfortunately none with the language I want.
So My question is, how do I add another add-on dictionary and has this issue been fixed in the new Android ICS 4.0?
Here is some additional info I found over the months of FroYo and GB input language dictionary issue:

Here is the exact keyboard but with some additional language packs which, unlike Google's, can be added later:

This is very interesting for me too. I don't see Norwegian in the list, but I'm hoping once the Galaxy Nexus is released in Norway, the add-on dictionary will pop up in that list
I have a UK Galaxy Nexus, but this would also be interesting for everyone on custom roms who would like to use the standard keyboard and who are not writing in english.
+1 for this message.
Portuguese appears on the list, but there's no dictionary available for download.
+1 for this. I have the same problem on my Galaxy Nexus. There is a refresh button on the dictionary list so maybe Google will eventually add it but nothing so far.
Wait. So Android 4.0, the newest bestest Android version ever...
Is just for English users. Seriously?
I just thought/assumed it was a shortcoming in the current experimental builds I was running. This makes me seriously reconsider putting money into the Galaxy Nexus.

NO.
Currently the system KEYBOARD have: english, Cestina, Nederlands, Francais, Deutsch, Italiano, Russian and Espanol.
and we're awaiting more to come as it checks online for more dictionaries downloads.
But is it going to be possible to set the phone language to English, but set the language for spelling correction to Dutch? I know you can set the keyboard language to Dutch and install the Dutch dictionary but that only show correction suggestions in the bar above the keys and not if you touch the word. So now every Dutch word I type gets underlined even though I've set the keyboard language to Dutch. It doesn't do that if I set the system language to Dutch.

4.0.3 is supposed to be the "baseline" release of ICS, according to JBQ from Google.
The source is now available and so is some unofficial builds.
Has anyone checked them out to see if they include anything new in this regard?

Running aosp 41 which is great but nothing more other than what was already mentioned in add-on dictionaries. I assume it could be included in the ROM when compiling bu tthe developer has not answered my question on this yet. You could probably just compile the keyboard apk and replace the default. I know this was possible on GB because CyanogenMod 7 initially had about 100 dictionaries for the HeroC but sometime down the road it was cut out from the build to save space.
Is there any new news of how to add dictionary to Android ICS??
Bump.
Anyone solved this?
I've been trying to solve this weird problem since I started using android.. Not that i really miss the feature, but just because I can't stand it not being solved.
I use a USA (Verizon) droid 3 in the Netherlands. I used morelocale2 to set it to country: the Netherlands and language: English because by default I can only choose English and Spanish. With morelocale it works fine.
When I press the mic key in my homescreen, it uses dutch voice recognition (which works flawlessly btw). But when I want to use this voice recognition in any other app, it says "voice dictation does not support current language". When I change the input language under multi-touch keyboard settings to English, it will English voice.
I don't understand why it says it doesn't support it!! It DOES, as I can use it in the homescreen without any problems!
Thanks
This has not been fixed in Jelly Bean either.
Text correction is just available in a few, select languages. Availability of languages doesn't seem very improved since ICS, but the list has gotten a little longer.
It seems absurd though, that we should not be able to add our own dictionaries.

But other phones in my country that are "native" European phones can use voice dictation in all apps.
For me it doesn't work, even though it works in my home screen. There must be something I can change..
Can't load English UK dictionary
I have an excellent 5.7" MT6589 device known as STAR or BLUEBO B6000. I can set the system language to English UK and select the additional English UK dictionary and it says it's downloading but it never seems to load and the keyboard spell checker thinks that every word is wrong. This seems to be an issue with a few of the available ROMs, mostly based on 4.1.1. Any suggestions.
Hi all,
Up to here I've tested 3 USB keyboards, all AZERTY and they all act as QWERTY :-(
Looking on the play store I found an app (External Keyboard Helper) and I've tried everything : using French and English layouts, re-assigning each key, etc. and nothing works.
It really pi**es me off because everything else works fine : volume controls, play/pause/next/back, etc. but it's impossible to write with this problem.
If anyone else has the same problem, please let me know. Even better, if one of you thinks he has a solution or workaround PLEASE answer.
Thanks all.

Solutions ?
If you are rooted (not my case yet), try this method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082408
If not, you can try External Keyboard Helper (didn't work for me) or UpSoft Clavier AZERTY on Play Store (1,50€, will maybe try and give feedback).
Admins, I'm leaving this as it might help future people that encounter the same problem. If ou think it's useless feel free to delete.
Thanks
EDIT : None of these solutions worked for me... :-( Will try again once I update to ICS and root.
Hello.
I am facing a great problem with AOSP keyboard dictionaries. I am hoping to use AOSP keyboard with my own language (malay) and therefore I also require the spell check to work with it.
With my current Cyanogenmod ROM, I cannot seems to be able to correct any of my spelled Malay words; presumably, there aren't any dictionary of it.
Concerned, I tried to use France as the language, shocked, the spell-checker works with France. So, this made my guess about the missing dictionary a possible-true thing. Add-on dictionaries is "empty" and also I cannot find a way to add any dictionaries.
As I am rooted, are there any ways I can force add the malay dictionary?
I am thinking of finding the English UK dictionary and translate it by-hand (working hard for it) and then put it back onto the system. Anyone who can guide me with this?
Ironically, changing CM's main language into "Bahasa Melayu" or Malay seems to work. I am not so sure why it doesn't on AOSP keyboard.
One thing to note, please don't recommend me installing another keyboard. No, I just want to stick with the mighty low resource fast and trustful stock keyboard.
Device Specs for someone who needs it:
- Xperia SP C5303
- Cyanogenmod 11 Kitkat (which is 4.4.4) nightly
- of-course prerooted (it's CM)
Thank you so much in advance if you are looking forward to help me Have a nice day.
Hello. I understand that one would not automatically gets reply on the forums, but doesn't there be anyone who at least know little about this matter?
Bumping this up
Last bump before I bump again a month later
Bump!! Abandoned for a month but I really still need a workaround for this.
one last sweet bump
It is most likely that the AOSP keyboard just doesn't have that language built in and as most aosp apps are left for dead by Google it would take someone to manually add the code into the AOSP keyboard on the source level. Just because the the main language changes doesn't mean the keyboard has the language.
