Once you have another keyboard installed, you can change to it in the settings or using the small arrow below the keyboard to get into the keyboard menu and then you can select your new keyboard.

Which Lingvosoft pack should I download to get the keyboard, and do I need to install the whole thing or can just the kb be ripped out?
thanks!

[Q] French Canadian keyboard on the Nexus S

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.

Adding new language to android keyboard

Hello,
I am looking for how can I add Turkish language to android keyboard. I can found Turkish support in the "input list" but it says that "not available".
When I select Turkish from input list, I can see Turkish indicator on the keyboard but not available.
How can fix this problem?
Nexus S i9023 - 2.3.4 Stock Rom without root.

No answer, i guess no solution to do this?

Not really but here is some info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13826712&postcount=6

These are alternative options if you seek Turkish keyboard:
+ GO Keyboard (Free)

+ Smart Keyboard PRO ($2.87)

- Turkish dictionary for Smart Keyboard PRO

I'm on CM7.1 nightly and I have no problem switching to Turkish language from setting to both input and display language.

[Q] How to switch off spell check (xt9) on ChaCha

I'm using polish language on my chacha. When i write sms i see in notification bar information that xt9 En is enabled. So that everything i write in polish is underlined. I just hate it. Is there any possibility to remove that spell checking? or somehow use polish one? there is no configuration for this under menus i guess. Or I'm just serching in wrong one ;/
i'm on 1.52 with s-off and @fullbring_v2_eu

go to settings -> language & keyboard -> touch input -> hardware keyboard settings -> prediction (un-check this option)

Nah, i'm not talking about text prediction.
What i mean is that i have prediction off but english spellcheck is on underlining my polish words, as they don't exist in english dictionary. And under menu you mentioned, there is no option to disable it, or change dict language.

Yea, im having similar issue. Im using EU global rom.
Until today my language for typing messages was "Eng" (when you start typing message you will see small square on right side in notification bar, next to clock saying "Eng") and i was typing normally, without any issues.
Today i had OTA update of my ChaCha and my typing settings changed to "Eng xT9." Since im using Serbian language to type my messages it pointless to say that my every word gets underlined in red as incorrect word since it was not in english dictionary.
Its pretty much annoying to see your complete message underlined in red, and its lowering visibility of letters. Is there any way to disable "xt9" or change to normal "Eng?"

I found semi-solution. I installed Smart Keyboard from market and used it as default input method, and disabled all predictions spell corrections etc. it is not showing up with touch buttons and running in background so you can use your hardware keyboard as usuall.
hope it helped

I have the same problem, Azerty hardware keyboard and my language is installed in Dutch really annoying that every word is underlined!

so i have this problem too...i am coming from austria and we are using the htc chachas frequently for email checking and answering...
is there any solution now to solve this problem...i have also showing up the xt9 EN logo on the notification bar and i can't get away the red underline on each word.
i am using 1.54 with S-OFF

Can you guys perform a small check?
Set your phone's language to your country and start typing again. I have a hunch that xt9 is activated automatically by the ROM in the phone's language.

nope, already tried this...
switched from german (doesn't matter if i choose austrian, german or swiss version) to english and back again....
i think only in the original s-on country locked 1.18 version was a spellcheck for german, this was also the only version which hast the right qwertz keyboard.
now with cid 1111111 and original 1.54 there is no qwertz keyboard (even if i choose german language) and also no german spellcheck...
ok i can deactivate the dictionary funktion, but the spellcheck which underlines every word in red, i can't....
can you find out, which file does this spellcheck, so i just can delete it or do whatever it takes, to stop working.... i don't want a german spellcheck or a dictionary, i just want it to stop underlining f#####g words P

Is this available on the stock ROM?
Menu -> Settings -> Locale and text -> keypad -> XT9 [ ]
Tick XT9 for predictive text. Then go into XT9 advanced settings and fiddle about. There are tick boxes for Spell correction and so on.

nope... we only have to edit dictionary or to sync it , under keyboard settings (
no xt9 mentioned

I have the same problem
Alex, i don't have that section under settings..
running 1.52

HEUREKAAAA... i have the solution
it couldn't be easier...i am so dumb, really...!
to change the language of xt9 from EN to any other (in my case DE) just press FN + Spacebar to open a menu, where you an choose the XT9 language...
now i do not have anymore red underlines when i am typing an email or any other text in german...yihaaa!!!
update: now the dictionary is also in the right language...awesome-oooo
update2: for all those people who have keylayout problems after s-off and thinking this could ix it....it won't...this is for spellcheck and dictionary only...the keylayout files have to be edited by hand like we know it

OMG, and i pressed that combination so many times by mistake, but i exited it immediately. anyway, no help for me there, romanian not provided :lol

i see...you can only change it but not disable it...how dumb is that?...

Exactly the same problem for me
xt9 came with the 1.52 update, and I didn't find how to disable it yet.

ICS: Dock Keyboard input language is always English

Hi,
After I have installed ICS, I cannot use any other input language with the hardware keyboard. It is always English. No matter what keyboard I select: Android (Russian), Smart Keyboard or whatever I have english letters appear on key presses. On Honeycomb I had ASUS Keyboard which allowed to switch language using Ctrl-Space combination. Now I don't have the ASUS keyboard anymore. Have anyone been successful in typing non-English on the dock keyboard?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

I have already made a quick hack keyboard to produce russian characters on dock keyboard key presses and switch to english using Ctrl-Space. It should be pretty straight forward to add other european languages if some one would like me to. Chinese, Japanese and Korean is tough and I have no plans to support them.

If anyone is interested, here is the hacked by me standard ICS android keyboard, which allows to type both russian and english on Transformer's dock keyboard. Left_Ctrl+Space changes layout. All other features should work correctly - soft keyboard, voice input...
