Hi,
I have read several old threads about this topic, but in non was a satisfing answer. So I decided to pose the Question more direct.
Under Cyanogen 4.2.2 it makes no difference what so ever what I select as system language the Keyboard is always qwerty and the wordsuggestions "english".
So is there a way to change it, that I don't get, without loading and Market Keyboard.

Well, I had the same problem. I just installed TouchPal which is a free, great default keyboard replacement.

Dear Sir,
I know, it is a very common question BUT I have a problem with it. Since I had Qtek 9100 I do know about thing or two considering keyboard layout. But, again, Rafael seams to me a lot different than my ol' 9100.
First thing's first, I don't know witch keyboard layout is printed on keyboard. I am attaching an image of keyboard, and I am grateful for providing me this useful info.
Link:
Second, if someone can give me a short tutorial how to change layout I would be most grateful for that.
I do know how to change keyboard on qtek 9100, but it seams that this change is a bit more complicated, and I've spent about two days trying to change the keyboard.
Thank you
This is the sprint keyboard and u can change the layout with a program called TarusBullba Tilt keyboard fix. i had the same problem and that worked
I've installed keyboard fix, it isn't remapping them to fit properly. Numerical pad that is on the upper row of keyboard with TarasBulba fix is located on the right middle part of keyboard.
Is there a registry fix for remapping the keyboard?
Is the keyboard Swedish, Finnish or else?
Thank you
Mine is english and just works. U may also try some options in AdvancedConfig but i'm not sure if it will help.
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.
Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a HTC 7 Pro online, but when I received it, I found out that it was the German version, with the Z and the Y keys switched, compared to normal QWERTY keyboards. I am able to set the software keyboard to QWERTY, but no matter what language options I have selected, the hardware keyboard seems to follow the QWERTZ pattern. Is there any way to reset the hardware keyboard so that it follows the QWERTY pattern?
I would also like to know how to change this, I bought my HTC 7 Pro from "Media Markt" in Germany, and I have the same problem.
But I'm not sure if it's a good idea to do so, because even if I did change the Keyboard Layout from the software side, the hardware will still be QWERTZ, so what I press will not be what appears on the screen :S
BTW the differences between US QWERTY and German QWERTZ isn't just the Y and Z keys, other differences include:
( and ) are at 8 and 9 istead of 9 and 0
& is at 6 not 7
* is at 7 not 8
the semi-colon (drove me crazy when coding at the university there)
and a lot of other punctuation were moved away to other buttons to clear for the "umlauts" and stuff :S
Guys, I had the same problem, I bought QWERTZ device and I was frustrated.
I used the 7-day return policy of the reseller and returned the QWERTZ device.
Later I bought QWERTY device.
By the way this is valid for the QWERTY device too:
( and ) are at 8 and 9 istead of 9 and 0
& is at 6 not 7
* is at 7 not 8

I couldn't have bought another one, because I was in Germany and I don't think they have anything with a QWERTY keboard there :S
It's weird that eventhe QWERTY keyboard on the phone also had some of the symbols mixed up, because German PC Keyboards also had the brackets at a different place that the US PC Keyboards, so I thought that's a QWERTZ thing too, maybe your phone has a UK Keyboard layout?
edit: apparently also UK Keyboards have the ( and ) at 9 and 0, not at 8 and 9.
It's not about certain layout, there's just not enough space for all the buttons, That's why they are mixed and the layout is not like a PC keyboard.
Nevertheless, this smartphone has one of the best hardware keyboards in the smartphones world.
It's nice to know that my first Smartphone has the best Keyboard (I'm assuming that you don't consider the early Symbian S60 devices as smartphones )
Anyways back on topic, is there somebody who can replace my hardware keyboard with a QWERTY one, so then I can change it from the software side too (whether via a Registry hack, or installing another ROM), so that way I can have a keyboard that I can type on without having to look before typing any word that has a Y or a Z ? :S
I have this issue too. Any solution?
The solution is get used to it. I have a QWERTZ device purely because it's much cheaper for some reason. It's no big issue after 5 mins or so.
Zes, in using zour solution too ;-)

Hello everyone.
My goal is rather more difficult than yours (I try to replace original german layout with the russian one), however I found out something interesting:
In
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\MTFKeyboardMappings
there are keys for different languages with the values of hardware and soft keyboard. In my case for all the languages the value of hardware keyboard is:
804c72d2-b3a3-4f96-a568-eb8775eb4b97
However, direct change of this entry with the value of the soft keyboard doesn't work.
Can anyone publish this value p.e. for QWERTY layout to check?
And any ideas about what does 804c72d2-b3a3-4f96-a568-eb8775eb4b97 refer to, I mean, is it link to the file or language code or whatever?
Sorry, if I discover something stupid, but I can't find any information about this area of registry.

Hi everybody. Same situation here. I would add, if this QWERTZ to QWERTY issue could be solved without any ROM installation (crazy? lazy?) I would be the happiest phoner for a while. Cheers.

See and try change "AccentTable" and "KeyTable" keys in path "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\MTFInputType\{804c72d2-b3a3-4f96-a568-eb8775eb4b97}"
I mean it is UTFxx unicode. May be somebody known TouchPro/TouchPro2 can help us to recognize buttons order in this key.
Hi,
with DFT rom v2/v3 no problem on HTC 7 pro, works perfect Y/Z and with my special characters (óőűá etc.)

Can you write more? Is necessary to edit registry keys manually in registry editor? What is your sequences for Y/Z changing? Or, is it possible only by any file changing/editing? M.

It looks as four-bytes unicode sequences, ended by four-zeroes stop sequence. Do you know anybody more? Can you see in registry editor, if it is DFT ROM property only, or standard WP7 hardware keyboard feature? I mean keys replacing by first post can change full language keyboard to another, but changing z/y only must be realized by this long sequences analysing and changing.
Hi, i'm using now DFT V3 on HTC 7 pro QWERTZ version. (hungarian language) Character layout original, no need registry edit or other hack. HW keyboard works fine on hungarian setting. All characters and other symbols are OK. DFT V3 rom is perfect.

OK, you are happy. We (Czech people) have a problem - two usual keyboard layouts. Much people uses QWERTZ, but programmers and technicians uses usually QWERTY, which is not supported by WP7 Microsoft features. Then we must make any hack.
Hey, what kind of rom use you?

The same as you, DFT V3 on HTC 7 pro QWERTZ version.
Hi all!
I've been running ICS from the beginning of it's official release, but flashed the US-version instead of the european one.
No problem so far, but I have the wrong dock-keyboard-layout (QWERTY instead of QWERTZ).
Then I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144204
But where can I find the layout for the german/austrian layout? Could anybody please upload it for me (path to the files should be /system/usr/keylayout and
/system/usr/xt9/keylayout; it's mentioned in the other thread)?
Thanks in advance,
LB115
If you are familiar with the QWERTZ layout, simply go to your language and input settings and select the ASUS German QWERTZ layout.
Your keys will be mapped to the new layout, but the pretty little stickers on them will still be for a different version.
I have a US keyboard, but setting it to ASUS English (UK) allows me to get to the £ symbol and the @ and " are reversed from what is physically on the keys, but it is the standard for UK English.
I have also used the ASUS Spanish keyboard settings with the US Keyboard with no issues.
If you are using any other setting (for instance Thumb Keyboard) for when you are undocked, it will revert to the ASUS English (US) layout regardless which version of the keyboard you have.
Thanks, but when using the Transformer without the dock I have the QWERTZ-layout. Only when using the dock I get the QWERTY one. My system language is German, all keyboard settings too, the dock is a german one...
EDIT: ok, it's working now. I only changed the default keyboard (Android keyboard+ instead of Android keyboard). Thanks for your help!
Hi, I've got the same problem, running FROZN 1.0.9 rom. But there is no other keyboard available than the android keyboard. Do I have to insall another one to get the qwertz layout for my dock?
Thanks for replies!
EDIT: Found Android Keyboard+ in this Post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528322&highlight=qwertz , then I did like Lunchbox115 and it's working now
