Dictionary changer?

Hello people
I am looking for an app or toggle widget that makes it possible quickly to change between the different dictionary languages in the htc_ime. Every day I write in Danish, English and Italian and I find it a bit annoying to have to go into settings, keyboard language and choose the language every single time. It would be much easier to be able to change the language just by pressing one "button" on the homescreen. So if anyone knows about such an app or widget, or if someone would be able to develop one, it would be VERY MUCH appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Choosing a keyboard

Anyone else having trouble selecting a different keyboard? I installed "Keyboard from Android 2.3+" by Steven Lin (he's done a lot of work on it besides porting the gb keyboard), and while I can toggle it "on" in Settings -> Language & keyboard, I cannot set it as the keyboard to be used. At least on past phones I had to turn it on and then select it as the keyboard to be used. I tried long presses and various swipes, nadda.

Semi-related. I would also like to use a different keyboard, but I would like one that wasn't so cluttered with symbols and worked more like the iPhone keyboard.
Also, it'd be nice if there was one that didn't take up so much of the screen. It's a 720p screen, I don't need the keys to be so tall!

Stock ICS keyboard works really great and doesn't take up a lot of space too.

Once enabled, go to any app that opens the keyboard.
Look at your notification bar. It'll be a mini keyboard icon in the left corner. Open the notification bar and it'll have an option to select input

I used to use FlexT9 but on this phone the keys are a little smaller than I'd like. So for now I'm using the stock one.

Polish letters

Hi!
I have a problem. I am very angry, because I found that my Nexus 5 doesn't show polish letters like ą ę ł ś ć ź etc. It shows stupid symbols instead. It is most annoying when you have words like ściółka and it shows something unreadable. It is present in google music (names of songs), in my e-mails when I try to read them through website and some other cases which I can't precise. I want to do something with it. Do you know how to fix it?

Unless you chose polish as your system language, it probably won't show the language correctly. Assuming polish is an option.

If you did...then I'm not sure.

I have polish language set but letters are missing.

[Q] Chat/Word suggestions while using physical keyboard?

Hello dear physical keyboard fans!
I just bought my girlfriend the Galaxy S Relay phone and already managed to change the rom to CM11 and added the german keys to the keyboard layout (thanks for the nice thread helping with that!).
Now another question occured: Is it possible to have word suggestions while using the physical keyboard?
For example when she types "Hel" that the phone suggests "Hello" and she can touch the word to autocomplete it? It works with the screen keyboard and vanishes while using the physical one. I tried different combinations of autocorrection and autocomplete options and also marked the option to always show suggestions but it only changes the on-screen keyboard.
I didn't found anything using the forum search and hope someone has an idea or even a solution.
Thanks in advance!

I do not think this exists as far as i know but you could suggest it on the exposed module suggestion forum. But this being the last of the qwerties, this is probably not likely.

Correction this was already answered here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2343297
[Q] Physical Keyboard: can we have auto-correction and predictive text?

Big thanks! I somehow missed that thread. I will try SwiftKey.

Any way to add another language to dialer quick dial?

Hi guys,
I want to add my local language to the quick dial (ex. when you type 4663 for "HOME").
I thought I should just change the system language (although I prefer the system in English) but that didn't help.
I'm talking about Hebrew, any way to add it?
Thanks a lot
