Simple Right-to-left language solution?

Does one exist?
For example: my phone can see Hebrew letters. However, these letters are displayed backwards when read in Hebrew, it being a right-to-left language.
In english, it would be like getting a text message like this:
?gniod uoy era woH ,!olleH

You can read it backwards, but it gets really annoying with long messages. And it makes it impossible to type long messages as each word has to be thought of backwards.
After installing a Hebrew font, it's no problem seeing the hebrew letters, but their Left-to-right (English) coordination is where it gets confusing.
Mind you, I don't need a Hebrew UI, or Hebrew menus, just the ability for the Hebrew text to display correctly (in the right-to-left direction) so I can send and receive text messages in the language.
Anyone got a clue as to what can solve this?
Thanks in advance.

you don't need to write backwards when writing an sms.
it will be ok when received on a hebrew supporting phone.
(thats the way i've been writing hebrew for monthes now.)
try it yourself and see..

You're right, but the reading part is still a big hassle

Try investigating the arabizer techniques, but change to a Hebrew font...
The OS doesn't natively support Right to Left AFAIK.

Scrambit encrypted gsm calls

A few months ago I did some work for a company Liveye on a new app. I notice that today they have finally gotten a page up for that program.
www.scrambit.com
I did a lot of the back end gsm/audio stuff along with another guy who did the encryption dll and codec. The ui was done by Two guys in Itally. scrambit encrypts voice and transmits it over a csd line to allow the user to make totaly secure calls.
This is not a free program but I if you need privacy this is a good tool to have. The site is in Italian but the program itself is very easy to understand (mainly english words).
(Please don't mistake this for a paid advertisement. Since finishing this I have had little to do with Liveye and am certainly not being paid to mention it. Its more a matter of pride to have my name on the credits .)

Good if you can some out with a "Lite" or "Express" version of it for free Or do a SMS version of it?

Hello,
I'm one of Scrambit developers; the application is freely downloadable from here (without CF) or from this page (if you want the version with CF included) and you can freely test it making crypto-calls.
As I wrote in another post the application is available in many languages, English, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Dutch and obviously in Italian, and the website also will be available in English within few time.
Goodbye
Caio

Looks nice
I have been chasing a software to secure my phonecalls for some while now... But most of them Bug out.
This one i can make a call, so far so good. But on the receiving end nothing seems to happen and both locks are unlocked.
So from Phone A to phone be i can iniate the call to phone B.
From phone B it will not call out.
Both phones using WM6 phone a is Niki and Phone B is a Kaiser.
I also dont understand what is CF. Do i want it or not ?
What encryption is the software using. And please write a yhelp in english.
And how much does a licence cost. And maybe increase the TRIAL 20 seconds to at least 60 seconds.
Best Regards
Adde

HTC Europe Support

I'm trying to make HTC realize they have a bug in their Touch Keyboard/XT9 but they're driving me around the bend.
1st report I made never got further than auto-generated receipt mails and then it just died - radio silence.
2nd report I made has now gone to the "beating around the bush" state; where they either try to stall it or send me info of how to almost "work around" that I have mailed them myself in the original report. They have not yet acknowledged that there's an error.
I'm wondering if anybody has any experience with the HTC Support?
Is this the normal behaviour? Has anyone gotten something out of reporting an error to them?
Just trying to figure out if I may expect something to come out of it.

That is standard behaviour for ANY IT support, of any kind
Please, IT support people, don't take offense - of course there are always exceptions and after all, my own company is in this business too The point I'm making is that this kind of evasive non-support is fast becoming the rule rather than the exception. Too bad for us, the losers, I mean the users.

hmm
As an indendent software developer (for 17 years) I can only imagine how fast I'd be out of business if I responded in this way to my customers!!
... but then, of course, I don't have places like xda-developers to "do my support for me". HTC should send kisses and "device of your pick" to these people who are so enthusiastic and helpful, cause if we imagine that HTC was the only place to go, I think people would get tired with their service pretty fast.
Besides, there are a lot of IT related companies that offer much better respons - even Microsoft is better! TomTom is better, the developers of various freeware ppc-apps are better, Oracle is better.... I could go on.
Think of it this way: In Denmark a Cruise is 4400 DKR (~ 880 USD or 587 EUR) without TomTom or anything - just out-of-the-box. I think that's quite a bit, so you don't expect to be left on "your own" if you find errors in it.
To type one Danish letter (one out three Danish letters doesn't work right because of the Touch Keyboard XT9) you need 8 tappings if you want to use word completion and the on-screen keyboard:
1. select the Touch Keyboard,
2. disable XT9,
3. return to the on-screen keyboard,
4. type the letter,
5. select the Touch Keyboard,
6+7. enable XT9 (needs 2 tappings),
8. return to the on-screen keyboard,
...continue typing until you need to type the next not-working-letter.
Google for this letter and you get 94.100.000 hits. Not entirely irrelevant and I call it an error.

Another experience with HTC Support
I was asking HTC which files to use on the HTC Application CD delivered with the phone. There are two files seemingly related to backup: P3650_BackupTool_5.1.0.b1450_HTC_WWE_20071102.exe and SpriteBackupEnglishPersonalSetup.exe file.
It doesn't say in the manual which one, but just: "Insert the Application Disc on your computer's CD or DVD drive and install Sprite Backup to your device".
The answer from HTC is, quote: "Many tanks for contact us. To respond about your query, I am so sorry but we do not support this informations, you have to ask at the official web site of sprite backup"
I wonder how much Sprite knows about the HTC Cd....
I have never during 25 years in software business encountered such bad support from any company! I'm beginning to doubt if the people who receive support mails understand much English.

vocal sms composing?

Hello everyone.
I'm looking for a software that allow to compose a sms without using the keyboard on the HD2.
There is something free or pay?
Something like Shout Out for iphone...
Thanks

Do a search for TellMe.

Does it work on the HD2?

TellMe does work, I installed it last night.
I was just about to make a thread on this very topic. I was wondering if there was anything available similar to the voice dictation thing that Android has. I used a Hero for about 2 days & that's the only thing I really miss about it now.

Dial2Do
I would recommend the above!

You need to install microsoft voice command first as it uses this to recognise your voice. But you are correct in assuming is is US only, it has trouble understanding any other accent.
In writing this I have just had the thought that as it uses MVC as the underlying software perhaps you can install the british/french/german version of MVC and see if TellMe then responds in these languages.
What nationality are you?, it would be worth giving that a go if you are french or german and would also bring some usefulness to this thread as your original question has been answered a few times before. (use the search )

Mytouch 3g Slide in Japanese

Hi everyone!
I am trying to find a way to make my wife's Mytouch 3g Slide display the operating system in Japanese. I've found a couple helpful apps like Simeji for input and SetJapan for the region settings. With these I can send/read texts and emails in Japanese, and some apps that supported Japanese are now in Japanese (like Google Maps). However the system menus are still in English.
Is there a way to change the whole OS to a Japanese version of android (like the HT-03a), or something to the same effect? I was looking into rooting the phone and seeing what I could do, but I wanted to see if it was even possible to achieve the desired results first. Any thoughts?

Ok, well not a very lively topic I see. I suppose I will look into making my own rom then.
