Hi,
i am thinking about buying this phone and use it in Germany/Europe.
i have some questions to you.
1) Does someone know, if i will be able to use 3G connection with the European Networks?
2) And which languages are included in the Firmware? only english and spanish or some more?
3) you know we germans have some special letters so what happens if you long press the following letters? do you get an option to write the following?
A-->Ä
O-->Ö
U-->Ü
S-->ß
?
thanks for your help
1) yes if the phone is unlocked
2) english and spanish, but just install morelocale2 and you'll have all of them
3) yea if you long press they appear on screen
You can just change your keymapping. Blue6ix has a thread on this topic.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285244
If you follow the link DistrictDigital provided to the keymapping request thread, you will see that Paitor made Swedish keys available.
Since Paitor went ahead and described his process, the same can be done for German, or any other language.
Germanic languages are already supported by the soft keyboard.

thanks alot!
you were really helpful to me
the keyboard layout mod seems promising, i will just need to modify the swedish one a little bit from Å to Ü and add a ß somewhere
hope to see you all in this part of the forum more often soon
I use this device in london no issues. Enjoy

What do you mean - "theme"?
Found it a few days ago and fell in love with the interface. It's really polished and beautiful. Best notes app for android IMO.

Why do I have it in... japanese!? Is there a way to change it? I am learining this language, but hey, I don't know that much yet .
seems like it doesn't recognize any other language than english... That could be a problem... japanese isn't very easy
hopefully the dev fixes this (default language to english)
Yeah espiecially when everything is in kanji .
So that's the case. I'm not changing my phone's language to english only for one app . Dev, please fix this .
Looks like Chinese/Mandarin? to me
I'm learning Japanese, and I can't read it too, because there is no kana...
Hope English will be available too...
Chinese and Japanese uses same chars, they just read it in different way. You still have to learn more, Japan consist of 3 alphabets - hiragana, katakana and kanji . I still don't know for sure if it's Japan or Chinese, I judged by the way how date was written in note (I think that it is unique for Japan). EOT I think .
English is available, you just have to have english as default language in phone.
Is it really useful to start a Japanese/Chinese language discussion on an android forum? But I didnt say Japanese dont use kanji, I just mentioned there was not any kana (hiragana/katakana) in it. Japanese text is a combination of Kanji/Hiragana/Katana. So if the whole app is in Chinese characters/kanji, its obvious it isnt chinese. And the the way the date is used, isn't only for Japanese, i think.
But on topic. If the app is in English (or Dutch, of course) the app would be great i think.
sorry for ot......but,that launcher are you using?
Can't use it since it's all in an Asian language. Please fix this, would really love to test this.
I like it.
Couple things I noticed:
1. When typing it doesn't support the Android auto-correct and auto-punctuate feature. Which is big for me.
2. When you're on the screen with all your notes, it would be nice to be able to long press on any note and either edit/delete/share/whatever that way. Instead of having to open the individual note.
Those are the only to things that I've noticed so far. But I do like it.
Its not a theme or a launcher

nope.... and I can't even find any option to change the language . Please fix this
Sorry, it's fixed, but you have to download the app from market, not from this thread.
It did fix it for me, I just installed the new version over the existing one and got english instead on chinese.

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.
Still haven't figured out this whole thread tagging business, so mods are welcome to move/rename this thread properly if I got it wrong.
I'm considering the transformer just for that sweet keyboard dock. But I need to be able to type in Hebrew. Anyone know if this is possible with the hardware keyboard?
As far as I understand how Android works, it's the keyboard that's responsible for determining the language it's typing (instead of sending keycodes for the operating system to decode and translate to the preferred language). So my guess is that the answer is no, but if anyone would know, they'd probably be roaming these forums...
-----
N1; CM7.0.nightlies
I think it's up to the input method engine (IME) to determine exactly what to send to an application. I believe an IME has the option of intercepting hardware keys and doing different things with it.
So, if there is a Hebrew IME you would like to use, it may work. It probably won't handle all of the hardware keys, but it'd probably be a start.
So does that mean that I need to talk to a software keyboard dev to support Hebrew on hardware keyboards?

Fyi I have the dock and I'm french canadian, and though the dock works great (especially with Polaris, you can actually get work done with this tablet!) I still haven't found a way to type accented chars. I can't believe they didn't think about it, my guess is there is a way to do it but I just don't know how. Probably the same for hebrew. I'll let you know if I find something! On the virtual keyboard, I use thumb keyboard, which is amazing...

There are two new SKUs with Canadian bilingual hardware keboard.
ok, found out how to do accented characters with the keyboard dock. It's really simple in fact, it goes hand-in-hand with the language defined for the Asus Keyboard on the TF. My TF is configured in english, and I use Thumb Keybord in english as my virtual keyboard (which handles accents very well), but when I plug into the dock, I just switch to Asus Keyboard, configured in french. So I now have all I need (ex: éáàùìçêẽ). My guess is it would work the same way for Hebrew. I can't try it since I don't have the Hebrew language pack, but I know Google package different language packs in their OS based on where it's headed.

Hello,
I am planning to buy an Asus Transformer Infinity, and as an Armenian language user, I simply do not imagine my life without Multiling Keyboard . But I'm not sure whether this keyboard will work with the dock or not. Will I have the same typing experience with the physical keyboard of the Asus Transformer as I have on-screen (layout etc.)? Has anyone tested it (not exactly the Armenian layout, but just the app with the dock)?
Most importantly, I want to make sure that I will be able to switch between English and a second (Armenian) with the keys combination, as in the case of the default Asus keyboard. Even if this is not a supported feature by default, maybe there are some solutions/fixes for this? I'm ready to root my device or tweak some system files and settings, if it will help.
The question is, there is no other app that supports Armenian input language even half as well as Miltiling Keyboard, that's why I would like to ask the Multiling users here to share your experience with me.
Thank you in advance.
I have been using multiling with the dock without major issue, but with English UK. The only problem I find is that the " ? ! etc characters will not be in the same place. However, you may be able to learn the new positions easily? I'm sorry that I'm not familiar with Armenian to know if there are other critical special characters you will need.
I keep meaning to investigate if it's possible to remap the characters on multiling. I believe it is a better soft keyboard than the Asus one, or the default android 4.1 keyboard which is also installed by default. I'm looking forward to trying the android 4.2 default keyboard.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply, Gudders . Have you tried to switch languages while you use Multiling with the dock, or you use only Engilsh UK? If it is not too difficult, can you please check the Armenian language in the Multiling settings in order to have two selected languages, and try to switch them with the dock (keys combinations, spacebar...), or at last just try to type something Armenian with the dock?
Thanks!
I have been trying to figure out the same but for Spanish. So far I haven't been able to get special characters to work from the dock keyboard. I haven't been able to get things like alt-134 to work for writing a ñ. I waited for 3 months for Asus to release a latin keyboard and they keep saying it is coming soon but it still is not available. I finally just bought an English version but so far haven't been able to figure this stuff out.

I am happy to try for you. I can download and install Armenian. You can switch using shift and spacebar in search, chrome, kingsoft office, gmail and some others. I tried to get a screenshot, but I can't seem to upload it to XDA (browser issue I think). The only problem I had was with the stock browser. I couldn't get it to switch, or type Armenian characters. It may just need a restart. It does type the charactes and switch using the search bar in the stock browser, but on google page or XDA reply box it wouldn't.
Hope that helps.

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.
