I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 from the Japanese carrier Docomo. The stock keyboard is set to English, Japanese, and Korean only. I would like to know if there's a way to add the Latin keyboard to the stock languages list or just replace the Korean for the Latin.
After more than 4 years as an IOS user I'm very satisfied with my first Android device, I'm not 100% satisfied with it just because the keyboard function is not as good as the IOS's.
Thanks in advance for your time and help.

bro use the keyboards available from playstre.... dey dnt have any problms or issue like this n u can get any language yu want...hope i hlped yu
I've already downloaded and tried some keyboards from the Playstore, none of them worked as I expected.
I really wanted to add the original Spanish option to the keyboard stock list so I can type letters with accents from the original keyboard by a long press.
Try morelocale 2, It could work and supports Android 4.2 but you will need root access on your phone.

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.
Once and for all, for those who have the new Nexus - is there any official Hebrew language support or not?
If not, can you try morelocale2 (iw, IL) and see if it has Hebrew?
Same question, Galaxy Nexus have native option to change language to Portuguese-BR?
hi!
i've the nexus, do you want me to try it?
i'm using morelocale2, so you need to give me the values to put in the right place.
Hebrew included
I just bought the new phone, and Hebrew input keyboard is included. Although it does not contain Hebrew dictionary.
Hello to all..
i just bought the new nexus s 9023 . i want to install greek keyboard inside the messages . how can i do that? please help me.
If the phone doesn't support the language natively, you'll have to download an alternative keyboard from the Market. I think SwiftKey has greek language support.
Try Go Keyboard. It supports Greek and its for free.
Nah...
Both , are ... hmmmm how can i say that ?
I don't like them their interface.

Anyway, you get the idea, huh! Just look for a keyboard you like.
I Haven't find anything yet.
Is anyone from Greece , that has a similar keyboard better than the original ?
i use swiftkey x which supports greek with (not always successful) autocorrection. also, it's not free, although i'm not sure if it has a free version
other than that, to get the stock keyboard with greek support you'd need to cook your own stock keyboard apk or find someone who has done this.
I use smart keyboard pro on my i9023 and have done that with every android ive had over the last few years.
good solid keyboard.
Hi all and all the GT-I9210 owners,
I'm learning Arabic and I'm trying to use it on my phone, installed an Arabic keyboard but when I type, all the letters appear disjointed. As you know, Arabic is like running writing so imagine all the letters separated but in addition to that, each letter has a different shape depending how it connects to other letters so it's a real pain trying to read or write on the GT-I9210.
I had no issue with my previous phone as I installed custom roms with Arabic already supported in them but the GT-I9210 has no custom roms that I could find yet, especially with Arabic support on top of that.
Does anyone have any solution to this please??? Thanks.
MoreLocale 2
Try installing "MoreLocale 2" from playstore
Hi,
hopefully this is the right Forum for the following question:
I am using CyanAOSP Android ROM (KitKat 4.4.2) and AOSP Keyboard with 3 languages installed: English, German and Croatian. For all of them I activated slide/swype function but it is working only for the English and German language typing/swyping.
Does anybody know how to get slide function to work on Croatian language?
When I type in croatian words, it works fine, only the slide function does not work.
I bought Swype but it slowed down my Smartphone (Samsung I9000) significantly, as well as SlideIT.
Thanks for any Suggestion/Help.
