Hi guys, this is my first thread in XDA!
Been lurking around a bit though the past couple of weeks and let me point out how amazing this community is!
OK so here is my query (sorry if this has been posted here before):
I'm a Swede, living in Sweden. I've ordered the SNS (my first android device so bare with me) from the USA and it should arrive sometime next week.
I know that the phone doesn't come with any support for the Swedish language. My guess is that they just want to make it harder for retailers to grey import the phone to a region where it shouldn't be sold (even though it will be sold in Sweden soon...).
So, is it possible to add support for the Swedish language somehow? (Keyboard, dictionary, system language...etc).
If so, how do I do it? I've seen some keyboard apps (pre-Gingerbread keyboard) for the Swedish language on the market but some of them don't work with Gingerbread and most of them seem to come with a lot of bugs (except for Swype). Also, I would need a dictionary, and the system language is nice but not crucial.
Isn't there a better way?
Thanks in advance guys!

Hi, a swede with the NSN here as well
To my knowledge, there are no way to get native swedish language support on the stock rom. The "nödlösning", that actualy works quite well is to use a third party keybord. I'm using Swiftkey, that has a swedish dictionary and swedish text prediction.
But if someone know about a way to get a swedish stock gingerbread keyboard, I would be delighted to hear.
Thanks for the reply
I guess I'll have to use either Swiftkey or Swype. If anyone knows another solution I would be happy to hear it

I added Hebrew support (keyboard and text recognition) to my xda, and I use also the Citipack Foldable Keyboard. The thing is that the keyboard doesn't work with the hebrew letters. I need someone to write the driver for the keyboard that make it work with the hebrew software keyboard. I have the authorization from PDAC, the firm who sells the Hebrew support to access the codes for their software for this task. if it works well, then citipack keyboards can be imported to Israel (Actually there's no foldable keyboard with hebrew for the pocket pc).
Someone interested in such a thing? Please contact me

Hi
May be also for ARABIC !!! :shock:
Why not ? they are both Bidi ..
yes, why not?
I don't know the arab market and support for PPC, I'm pretty sure the have keyboards enabled.
I would guess the fact that one is Israeli, and also sells Hebrew support probably isn't precisely a selling point in most of the Arab world today, right?
Good effort
I too use Hebrew on my device.
Again, please read the date on the last post before replying.
Hi everyone
First of all, great forum here, I know it since some time and I'm also using a custom ROM for my Kaiser, but I think this is actually the first time I'm posting.
Let me explain my situation I am from Switzerland (and so is my company, where I am the Cell Phone Fleet Manager). Believe it or not, but in Switzerland, there are four official languages (German, French, Italian, and something called Romantsch which noone speaks).
Problem is that we're going to open an office in the French part of Switzerland (me and the rest of the company are located in the German part). And the employees there obviously would like to have phones.
Now, although they do speak French, they're not using a French AZERTY-Keyboard but a German QWERTZ-Keyboard. However, they want a French OS, and even worse, they want to be able to type all their freaky accents (é, à, è, ç, ...).
Now I checked back with HTC and they do not offer such a phone combinations. I also checked with our cell phone network providers, and they only offer the English phones in the French part... which leads me into trouble. What kinds of phones should i get them?
My idea is to buy German phones (that way I have the QUERTZ-Keyboad layout printed on the phone). Then load the French ROM and then load the German Keyboard driver back onto the French ROM. Question is: Is that possible?
Or do you have any better ideas?
Thanks
final
anyone ... ?

Any ideas how you can get accents to work on a FUZE keyboard? Someone developed an application that would do what i need, however I don't know how to re-map the SYM key to another one... I don't have it in my keyboard as a standalone key...
not quite sure if it will help.
I just overread the whole thread, but maybe you'll find somthing in there.

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...
Hi guys,
Just got my Sensation a week ago and it's been bugging me but I'm unable to change the language to English (Australian). The only languages in the list are Asian languages. I know it probably makes no difference, but it's just been in the back of my mind the whole time Does anyone know how to possibly 'add' Australian English to the list?
Thanks!

Hey guys! I finally got my HTC chacha!
The only problem I have is that I have a standard EU model. So I can't choose Swedish as the phones main language. But I can live with that, that's no problem. The problem is that I wanna use HTC chacha's built in auto correction for when your writing mails and texts, but as you all can tell, it only corrects in english So, what can I do? I just want my Chacha to be able to correct in swedish instead of english. It would be good if the whole phone was in swedish of course, but just the auto correction would be good enoug..
CAN I install a nordic rom instead? If yes, which one is safe to use? I don't wanna pick a random android rom that works in sweden that would screw up my chacha. So a ROM for chacha that are aimed for nordic use would be great.
Please help a brother out!
Love n respect!
