Hi,
I just got my HTC Legend in Hungary. This means that although android netively "speaks" german, the Sense UI overlaid in this regional version only knows English, Polish, Czech and Russian. Is there any way to replace this version of the Sense UI with a german one, as this is my native language? I reinstalled the official ROM (RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_1.23.405.1_Radio_47.26.35.04_7.05.35.26L_release_120393), but Sense UI still stayed in the above languages.
Any ideas, anyone?
Hi
got the solution, works flawlessly on my legend: search "morelocale 2" in the market, install, there you go. Adds the natively included languages to Sense UI, so no patch. Seems great... here the article to it, from blog.clove.co.uk:

With the upcoming release of the HTC Desire and the HTC Legend, we’ve had a lot of questions about language and keyboard settings for Android, particularly Chinese. With the ever expanding Android marketplace, there’s always an App available for to suit any needs you may have.
For a Chinese users, there is an application called Pinyin (Google Pinyin IME) released by Google. Pinyin supports stroke input, updates the soft keyboard layout and improves suggestions. Its free to downloaded and rated 4.5/5 stars on the Marketplace.
Although there are no Google releases, there are also some good Arabic keyboards available, such as Arabic Keyboard.
Android has several built-in language options. To change the locale (language) that your Android device works in:
On your Android device, under Settings>Locale & Text>Select Locale, you can choose the Language setting you would like your device to use. On some devices (such as the HTC Hero), the only setting available is English. This can be changed very easily using an App called MoreLocale 2, which can be downloaded completely free of charge from the Android Marketplace. Simply download the App and install, launch it, and select the language you would like your device to use. (Note: to change back to English, you will need to navigate through Settings>Locale & Text>Select Locale and select English).
Currently, the locales available on Android 1.5, 1.6 and 2.1 are:
Chinese, PRC , Chinese, Taiwan
Czech
Dutch, Netherlands & Belgium
English, Britain, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore,
French, France, Belgium, Canada, Switzerland
German, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein
Italian, Italy, Switzerland
Japanese
Korean
Polish
Russian
Spanish

Thank you Livven i bought slideit but it didnt fixed me it has a bad style and its not that fluently than swype
after i put the german files in the swype directory there is a "german" to select in the menu but it dont works.
after i select it it stays at EN!

Hey guys!
Here's some info about our language support. Currently Swype supports:
English (US and UK), French, German, Italian, Spanish, Danish, Dutch, Malay, Russian, Slovenian,Portuguese (Brazil and Portual), Romanian, Slovak, Swedish, Serbian (Latin Keyboard), Czech, Greek, Polish, Indonesian, Norwegian (Nynorsk and Bokmål), Turkish, Icelandic.
Early this year we'll be adding in the following:
Croatian, Finnish, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Ukranian, Arabic, Hindi, Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese - Mandarin (simplified), Korean, Urdu, Farsi, Estonian, Catalan, Latvian, Filipino (Tagalog), Hebrew, Galician, Lithuanian, Thai and a few more.
If you don't see your language listed, keep in mind we're developing languages at the request of our partners and customers. Also we only install the languages that an OEM has requested on any given phone - so from phone to phone and country to country you will see a different combination of dictionaries.
We're glad you like Swype, Subnormal, but it sounds like you're using an unlicensed copy. Swype is currently NOT available for download. So if you have a downloaded copy, that means it is an unlicensed version. Our dictionaries are specficially encoded to work with Swype so an unsupported dictionary will cause Swype to perform poorly or not at all.
We will eventually get to a download model (of both Swype and our dictionaries) but currently we only pre-load our software on OEM devices. We'll keep you posted on www[dot]swypeinc[dot]com as that changes..
We're looking forward to getting a device out that is supported in your market, Subnormal.
Regards,
The Swype Team

Well that's good to hear
English version of i8000 Omnia 2 has Swype pre-installed, but german one doesn't???
Dear SWYPE Team,
I don't realize why you use Samsung - especially the i8000 Omnia 2 - and provide your software with it, but that's your choice.
I just don't get the reason, why you provide the english i8000 Omnia 2 with your software, but not the german one. Why the hell is the Swype company doing this? Also just providing phones with your software but not the software itself is some kind of stupid.
Think about it - you would make much more money when also selling the software for itself AND provide it pre-installed with future phones.
I'd like to know why the heck is it integrated into the american / english i8000 Omnia 2, but not the german one?
Thanks in advance.

I would love to see Norwegian on Swype as well but I don't think that there is such thing. Swype doesn't have support for Norwegian (not yet at least)
According to Swype's website they have Norwegian support and have had that for a long time. From their website:
"Hi All,
We've had so many questions about which languages we support, we put together a list! Thanks for inquiring. Currently Swype supports:
English (US and UK), French, German, Italian, Spanish, Danish, Dutch, Malay, Russian, Slovenian,Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Romanian, Slovak, Swedish, Serbian (Latin Keyboard), Czech, Greek, Polish, Indonesian, Norwegian (Nynorsk and Bokmål), Turkish, Icelandic. "
Then they say something about adding more early 2010, so this has to be a 2009 message. But why isn't it possible to find a version with Norwegian then? Driving me crazy!
Swype is not sold or offered separately, as a stand-alone app.
Since they sell their solution to phone manufacturers, there might be whatever phone by whatever brand which has some of those languages on board.
As we all know, the HD2 version comes with 5 major languages.
I know it isn't sold separately. Lots of the stuff that is available on this forum isn't sold either... It's mostly ripped from ROMs of other phones. I know that there are phones sold in Norway with Norwegian Swype, but I don't know if that's only Android phones or Windows Mobile phones as well. I guess I should have asked if anybody know of another Windows Mobile version that has Norwegian languague and can be adapted to HD2 use.
Perhaps stupid question, but how do you get more languages?
According to androidos . in/2010/12/android-2-3-brings-more-languages-support-incl-hindi/ it should have support for alot of languages, but in my phone I can't see for example serbian or swedish. Not as language and not as keyboard.
Any way to get swedish support without a third party keyboard? Is there anything official or only apps like MoreLocal2? (Phone is bought in USA)
I have the same problem with portuguese brazilian...
I finally got my SGN101 this weekend while on vacation in Singapore.
I got the 8013 WiFi version. It is delivered with only English (US), English (UK), Korean, Chinese.
I would like to also have German input language without installing a new keyboard.
How would I accomplish that?
Thanks.
Guys, I need your help...
I have ordered Sony SmartWatch model 1 (aka: nm2) from ebay (I was not able to paste a link, you can search for Sony-SmartWatch-MN2-Music-Control in eBay)
According to all reviews in Israel , this model supports Hebrew languages in notification, sms, etc. (not for user interface for example watch settings, but all notifications are supported).
After I ordered it, I have noticed that only the following languages are supported:
Language Support: English, Spanish, French, Chinese (Traditional), Portuguese, Swedish, Russian, Danish, Polish, Japanese, Czech, German, Modern Greek, Dutch
On the one hand, some sellers in israel are import the SmartWatch, and without any additional SW installation or firmware - the watch supports Hebrew.
On the other hand, both the seller (ioomobile, Hong Kong) and Sony support told me that Hebrew is not supported.
Does someone know what is the correct answer? I realy want this smartwatch, and I have a doubt to open the package or return to seller.
Thanks a lot,
Tzvika
