I bought the Nexus S in the US for a friend in Poland as it would ultimately be cheaper. I noticed that the Polish language is not present in the language selection menu which is odd considering that it is present in the 2.3 SDK.
I can change the phone's locale using MoreLocale2, but system menus and other text are still in English -- the language pack itself is missing.
Is there anything that could be done to add the Polish language pack? Does the Nexus S even come with Polish in Europe?
So far from the searching I've done, it seems that there's no way to go about doing this unless I make my own ROM with the language pack included. That's unfortunate, really. I'll probably have to return the phone, then.
I also looking for this...

I installed the htc_ime.apk. The hero keyboard is just amazing. The problem that I face like many many other users is that I write in French and German and text prediction is only available in English. Would anyone be able to provide the hero keyboard with more prediction languages? I believe that would help a lot of people! Many thanks!
If your ROM supports French and German you can set the XT9 language to those with a trick. First set your keyboard language and the system language to english, reboot, then set system language to french (or whatever) and reboot again, now your XT9 is in french. This works for Dutch in Cyanogen 3.6.8.
If you want to do it easier flash Smartphone France firmware, it has Dutch, German, French, English and Spanish XT9 and you can select the input lang from the keyboard settings.
doesnt work for me!
Actually I have the normal swiss cupcake and I have installed the HTC_ime. The xt9 language change works indeed when changing phone's language, even without restart. But I would like to be able to change xt9 language without changing phone's language. any ways to do that without loading another firmware?
is anyone able to bring this modification?
I'd also love this feature. I'm from Spain, but I like my phone in English (computers, and whatever), because of the poor quality and completeness of the translations. I'd love to be able to get back Spanish XT9
In the German "Telephone Keyboard" Mode, the letters ü/Ü, ä/Ä, ö/Ö doesn't exist...
Could someone help me please?
In the HERO Roms, they work fine...
I have the same issues, I live, in the US, speak english, like my phones, and everything in english, except, most of my texts are in spanish,
I don't want to have my whole phone in spanish, so just that I could write a text message, windows phones have this feature with no problems,
also better keyboard has it, but, I found out I like HTC keyboard better
Hi All
I live in Quebec and I just got myself a shiny NS. However, there is no option for a french canadian keyboard in the settings, only the azerty french keyboard. Is there an easy way to enable this language?
Thanks!!!
I don't live in Quebec but I wouldn't mind knowing the answer to this. I've read somewhere that Slideit keyboard from the market has a French Canadian Keyboard but I really wouldn't count on it til I tried it and last time I checked you had to pay for it. The only one I've tried is from the seeARM swype keyboard from his Galaxy S JL2 Rom but how to get it to work on the Nexus S I'm not sure but it was nice to have on the SGS.
edit: I have swipe beta on the Nexus S so maybe it can be ported over....not sure how but if someone here has any ideas it very well could work. seeARM hasn't been around in quite a while but might be able to run it on the Nexus somehow.

Swype already works fine on the Nexus S. You cannot distribute Swype, it's illegal on XDA.
Check out keyboard alternatives, they most likely have what you're looking for. Alternatives such as Smart Keyboard Pro and Swiftkey.
I wasn't trying to distribute Swype, just trying to mention the only french canadian keyboard I'd seen so far....as being french canadian anyway since they are few and far between.
Thanks. I am aware of the alternative keyboards available but I would have liked to stick with the stock keyboard as I find it pretty nice!
I'll report here if I find a way.
Hi, I'm from Quebec too and I'll share some information that might be useful to other French-canadians Nexus S users.
First, I noticed the Nexus S doesn't have a French (Canada), which can be an issue with the News and Weather widget. I will explain how to take care of that.
Put your system language in French by going in the following menus
Settings > Language & keyboard > Select language > Français
Now you'll notice that the language is set to Français (France)
The problem now is that by having this language set, you automatically get an AZERTY keyboard.
Install the following application (Using the Barcode Scanner application from the Android Market)
Once it's installed, you'll have a new application called Paramètres régionaux. Open it up, press on the context menu button and press on Add Locale.
Put the following informations in the Add Locale popup:
Label: français (Canada)
Language: fr
Country: CA
Variant: <empty>
Now, to have a QWERTY keyboard, go in the following menus
Paramètres > Langue et clavier > Clavier Android > Langues de saisie > English (United States) (only have this keyboard checked)
Now you should have a french operating system, with a QWERTY keyboard and the News and Weather (Actualités et Météo) application that now gets Canadian-related news instead of France news.
Thanks for the great post. However, I wanted an english operating system with a qwerty with french and english dictionnary/autocomplete!
I finally found a way : install CM7. With this ROM you have all the dictionnary/locale you want!

Still nothing ?
Same new nexus S ( add to that a fresh scratch on the flimsiest screen I've ever touched ) but no french canadian keyboard. I'm can't stand the french OS.
But still need to type in french...
Nothing new ?
Thanks !
Before flashing CM7, I briefly used an app named "Gingerbread Keyboard" or something similar, that was free on Android Market and had a number of additional locales like French Canada (so QWERTY), or French QWERTZ which is used in Switzerland.
Another option with the stock rom (with alt. recovery so as to be able to mount /system in read-write mode) is to use adb to remove LatinIME.apk from /system/data and push the one from cm7 into the same location.
To get the apk you'll need to download cm7, unzip it and find the apk there.

My understanding is that you can use the English keyboard (qwerty) with french autocorrect. You can add additional languages in the keyboard settings and then toggle languages by swiping the spacebar. The French Canadian keyboard is just a qwerty with extended character set for accented letters. Your keyboard wont show the extended characters anyway due to the size.
Hi.
I really like this tablet nd the keyboard. but it's very annoying when I want to accent over the letter and put it before the letters.
For example: Econ´omico.
I'm Portuguese.
How can I fix it?

I don't know for sure about the Portuguese language, but on the German system language setting (and reportedly the Dutch, too), the tablet seems to process accented letters correctly. I've been pretty much exclusively using English, but somebody in here will chime in that's been on some other language mainly, and help you out more definitively.
LEA, where are you when we need you?
Yes, I have the exact same problem, but in french. It does that only in some applications, not all. Chrome and the default browser are affected. This is annoying as hell, and I can't find a fix. I had this problem with the stock ROM, and with CROMI 3.1.0. I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one!
Anyone got a clue on how to fix this?

I've never used Portuguese...
This has been an issue with a lot of languages since the .18 update. Dutch and German work since .30, but most others don't.
I can't check at the moment, but you can use ALTGR (right alt, on dock the only alt) in combination with most letters on the keyboard. (the combinations don't always make sense, in dutch ä is under q) A lot of the accented letters are there in Dutch and German, so possibly in Portuguese as well. Otherwise, Alt+space for a symbol menu.
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows of any edits (rooted) I can make that would allow the stock MM (6.0.1) to give me all available languages rather than just the stock? I'm looking to add Japanese to my list of languages -- system wide that is, not just input -- but no matter what I do, it only gives me the stock languages. I've tried More Locale which doesn't release the languages to me and Language Enabler. I would love the native Japanese system language and well, the option to use any language I want.
EDIT: Deleting and changing the language.xml in System/csc doesn't work for me either.
Thanks
Is there any way to change the language file on this phone?
A client came in and hade bougt an unlocked SM-G925P, but when i change language in the settings the whole UI doesn't get translated, and autocorrect suggests English words instead of Swedish.
I suppose it's an US-only modell with no Nordic Roms?
If so. Is there any way ti hack it? :/
