How to change the hard keyboard to Chinese mapping?

Hi there all, I have searched and read and then searched some more, even on other forums but (probably due to my technological stupidity) I have not found an answer... I need to use Chinese sometimes when emailing or smsing etc and I like to use the hard keyboard if its going to be a long one (amazing how quickly I got to like the qwerty keyboard)... now I have AEKmap so I can quickly change from the English one to a Chinese one (or so I thought) but I find that it does not have a Chinese keyboard listed in the options (just the default and a couple of Russian options). I have CEStar installed and also the d-ear Chinese sip as well as the 10 Key d-ear sip... but still cant find an option to enable the Chinese mapping for the hard keyboard. Am I missing something obvious (all to likely given my skill with tech stuff) or do I need to find a Chinese keyboard map? thanks for any help anyone can offer...

CE star is a solution but it s not free
and the logiciel bug my HTC wizard and Kaiser (hard reset)

Thanks but I already have CEStar but when I slide out the hard Kb it wont let me choose a Chinese layout and I can not type in pinyin... (wont let me choose a sip), would sip change help here?

install CESTAR or A4 pinyin input for Kaiser
then, open up your registry editor
go to HKLM->HARDWARE->DEVICEMAP->KEYBD
change curlang to 0x804
restart your kaiser
slide out your keyboard, the Sym/Tab button should allow u to switch to chinese input (if yours is a Eur/US device)
if yours is a Chinese APAC device, then you should see a chinese character at that button.
the button is on the left of the space bar

I have CEStar and it works perfectly for me. as long as you select the chinese mode, you will be able to eithe type in chinese with the keyboard (slide-out) or type with the stylus (regular)

Ruffruff... thanks for the advice, if I make this regedit will it be chinese layout all the time or can I select between default and Chinese in AEKmap?
Zcsx1985 yeah I sort of worked it out, I had to select the sip in portrait and then when I slid the keyboard out it worked fine...
Actually now that I have done that I can bring up the sip switch thing (little triangle next to the keyboard symbol on the screen) after sliding out the keyboard which I couldnt do before and now its all ok... well so far... cheers

Hi Shadow, how did you get the d-ear sips to work? Any special configurations necessary?
I have not managed to get them to work properly. when i type any messages, it appears right on my kaiser screen but when sent, my client will receive a whole page of question marks.
Did you overcome that issue?

I didnt do anything special, just install and then use... is your clients phone set up to receive Chinese characters cos thats the only reason for them not being able to receive them I can think of.. of course I am not too knowledgeable about such matters so it might be something else... if it is perhaps try uninstalling and then reinstalling... plus I am using a cooked ROM not stock...

I have an English ROM, how can I get Chinese MENU (switchable to English) and Chinese Pinyin input...? Thank in advance....

I'm using a WWE ROM and after I installed CE Star and the input method, it works great without any registry modifications
but one thing that bothers me is everytime I need to open the soft keyboard, press the "Chinese" symbol" once, then I can use the "input switch" button on the hardware keyboard to switch between typing English and Chinese ...

Tony as Kw31 says, CEStar is my main IME and it works fine, only conflicts with MS reader when its in Chinese mode (and also Pleco2 but thats another program)...

Navigon work-around to change voice? Different language.

I want Norwegian voice for my Navigon GPS (as the street names sound weird in English), but I want the rest of my phone in English.
I tried renaming the Norwegian sound files to English and vice versa, but that didn't work.
I can live with the program being in Norwegian, but the best would be English everything (minus voice).
Any ideas? Thanks!

Is this in the right section?

Bump........

hello there. did you find the answer? i need it too

I've found a solution!!!
Apparently it only works if you change the language of your entire system. But sometimes you haven't got the proper language or you don't wanna change. Then you can use the app morelocale2. I've found this on another bbs.
1. Download MoreLocale2 app from the market and install it.
2.Choose your language
3.Open Navigon and it will automatically detect your selected language and use it for UI and SOUNDS.

Doubt it...

I strongly doubt this approach, morelocale2 just gives you more languages it does not fix this specific issue, when you switch to a different locale you make the whole phone change its locale, not just Navigon. The point here was to try and change the Navigon's audio language WITHOUT changing the locale.
Solutions, anyone?

have anyone found a solution for this ?

When i press search button,it open internet explorer

When i press the search button (touch hardware button), its not take me to bing search app in win phone!
I have HD7 with nextGen+ ver2.2
any suggestion?

region setting
if in the settings, region+language, browser & search language is not set to one of these listed here [microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/howto/wp7/basics/feature-and-service-availability.aspx] (at the bing-section), then it will just open the browser.

thanks vlllaron
But i check what u say and its ok.im also change it to us to be sure, and its still opened with browser

?
that's strange. if i know it well, only this setting affects it.. if it's us (or any other supported country) it should work...

Change the "regional system configuration" and "Nav and search language" to English (United States), for me it remains in spanish, but enables Vision, Music and Local
Hope it works

Tnx xopy
bUt its not work
No problem, flash new rom soon
Tnx all

[Q] Ok Google Everywhere? (No root)

I am trying to setup the 'Ok Google Everywhere' feature on my OPO, but I am having some problems. Under settings, voice, ok google detection, I can only select and deselect 'From the Google Search app', and I do not have any other options. How can I enable this feature? Could it be that I can't as I am in Italy? I have update 38R and I am full stock, and not rooted. My phone arrived on Friday and is brand new.

I want to know these too! I wish it could works even with the screen out... it is possible?
thanks!

As far as I am aware the Ok Google everywhere only works with the language (for google now) set to US English, still doesnt work for UK English either .
Set your language to that and the options should now be available but of course if you use Italian its pretty useless for you!

[Q] Arabic language for HTC 1 M8

A Syrian guy bought HTC 1 M8, it still new, so I don't know what's the android version but it's the default one. He came to me for help.
He wants the whole system to be translated to Arabic, and that language isn't available. According to this video, if we just force stopped customization settings provider, it will allow us to select the Arabic language from settings.
Is It correct? Is it that simple? Don't I need to root it and stuff? What happens if he restarts the device?
