Hello
I have looked in all the forums speaking Arabic, I could not find anybody knows anything about this device never
They could not help me, they did not know many of this device
But I have hope of finding a solution to my problem in this forum wonderful
I want help in how to add Arabic to external keyboard for this device
I want to write in Arabic using the external keyboard to the device and not touch
It has been 3 weeks on the weary search in all the forums, but without the benefit due to lack of experts for this device
Help me please,
I apologize about the markedly bad language and expression
Not sure why you're calling me out specifically... I've told you repeatedly this is an English speaking forum - and I speak English. I don't speak Arabic. I use the keyboard to write, surprise! In English.
So if you want help with Arabic, you are going to have to ask in another forum or wait for someone else to answer you (which I mentioned in another thread that is unlikely for the reasons above).
Good luck.

Saying that people around here don't know about the device is absurd. We don't lack experts here, but since XDA is an English-only forum, almost nobody uses and cares about Arabian and therefore failed to help you in that particular way.
Feel free to let out your anger and turn to elsewhere for help.
Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM11
Since JellyBean, it's easy to add custom keyboard layouts, they can be made available to system via a simple application.
For CM11 (which should support Arabic and other RTL languages quite well), I include AsantiKeypad application for that purpose - https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_motorola_moto_msm8960/tree/cm-11.0/AsantiKeypad
But to create an Arabic layout for the Photon Q keypad, it needs someone who's able to understand the glyphs and who's able to create the appropriate map.
If you know an already existing Arabic keyboard layout map made for Droid4, it could be easily incorporated in AsantiKeypad app.
Or try to make it from scratch, I'll merge it if I'll find the time for it and you'll keep bothering me about it long enough .

I know that this forum speaks English - and you speak English.
But you're the only one who mastered dealing with this device,
I've asked several forums in Arabic but not without interest did not find any response
Do you kindly help me?

We have created this forum for the exchange of information and help others regardless of tone or intellectual differences
We are all human beings and there is no need for racist ..
I hope some of their responses to be stimulatory or an encouraging
not disappointing
I have the highest thread I did not find a solution in other forums
This is what forced me to put my problem here, because of the lack of experts for this device
I wish I could show some sportsmanship and high morals my friend
This is the forum to help others regardless of cultures
If were not able to solve the problems of others, there is nothing wrong, but I hope not to interfere

Thank you kabaldan
I have excelled in reply and facilitated more and gave me new hope towards the development of this device
But is there any additives
For example, some instructions and tips about this application
I want simplified explanation

What are you taking other devs for (especially those behind the scenes doing ground work for CM11 and other custom ROMs, like @kabaldan )?

True, although this forum is created with only English in mind, you often see people from other non-English countries or people that don't use English around here. I'm a Chinese myself so I partially understand why you're here for help - because we lack help in our home countries' forums.
However, as we're aware that both this forum and Android aren't made for all languages and cultures, even when we ask or answer questions in other languages, the question will be related to the phone itself, like how you fix reboots, how you flash a ROM, etc. These discussions have no language boundaries and can be understood by all.
As of your problem, it naturally involves another language which most people around here don't understand, and you see, forcing devs to learn a language and do the job only to fulfill a single request isn't realistic.
Talking about @kabaldan 's solution, he said that AsantiKeypad can import keyboard layouts, but he also said that there should be an Arabic layout available for importing first, which I Googled for you and sadly found nothing relevant. So, just like what he said, if there's none existing, then you have to find a dev who understands Arabic to write one up for you. Good luck with that.

i think u should post this up in the Q&As
Official forum language is English. Though we respect users of other languages, the moderators and admin have agreed that no other languages should be used without translation.
If the moderators dont speak spanish, then how can they moderate your comments?
I remember a thread where someone posted a very abusive and 'colourful' rant in another language. It was quite funny when fed through a translator.

While I agree that it is just friendly to give a brief translation in English (it does not make sense to translate every single word),please think of this: A user who does not speak German will not have any use for a German ROM, so why invest too much time for translating all the posts, if anyone Non-German (-Austrian/Swiss/Luxemburg ...) is not interested in that posts?
jez83uk is right, a translation without knowledge of the language it is translated from does not really make sense.
And BTW: Why do you ask for an English version of ROMs in other languages, instead of using one of the English ROMs?
There was an Hispanic post in the Raphael thread where the OP asked if someone in the forum could translate his text as he felt that online translators would lose the "meaning" of his post/request. A member took the time to translate his post/request; one of his concerns was regarding Bluetooth operation with some applications - which after reading the translation, I provided some assistance with.
I wish I had the ability to quickly learn every language out there; but since I cannot, it was helpful in that particular situation to see an English translation. I agree that online translators aren't capable of providing a correct translation of meaning and content.
IMHO, even a simple line "Could Someone Please Help Translate ..." before the native language text could be sufficient so that someone can summarise the OP request/post in English.
Cheers,

Very well written. Thanks!
Hi,
I am new here and really don't know what to do.
Uhm... any one would see my story?......
I got a Verizon XV6700 Yesterday for learning how to do with WinMobile system. uhm.... that's not the point...
The phone was changed into full chinese-language mode, i even can't input any english words with out keyboard -- that must be a big trouble -- I must turn the screen first when i input english.
I really don't know how to google a WM ROM for XV6700. I even thought maybe the phone is too old to find a matched ROM. then firends told me i may try to come here and find the solution...
So the story would be continued with any of you -- Please tell me what should i do? How could i find a match rom file here?
BTW: for some reason chinese fire wall may block a mont of links. if you have a good idea, please reply this post straightly with thanks.
Thanks!
ps: I don't care wheather the rom is for 5.0/6.0/6.x, I just want to know how to get a speedly and steady xv6700 used wm ROM and how to install it into the device.
ANY REPLY (KEYS/SOLUTIONS/LINKS) WOULD BE APPRECIATE!

Welcome to forums
First is to know that this is an HTC devices only forum
Then Read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!
Good luck,
Hi and also welcome to this great forum
as far as i know your XV6700 seems to be a HTC Apache
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=705&c=verizon_xv6700_htc_apache
I would read anything regarding to Wikis (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Apache) and References in the Apache-Forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=252)
Read ... Learn ... Understand ... Search this Forum! Search Google!
And most important ... HAVE FUN
I'm just about to get it, didn't actually meet any problems yet (reading tutorials and stuff). Teh question is language-related: does it (broodROM RC3) support russian language and/or is it much of problem to get it after? And I'm really sorry if you're all already annoyed by that kind of question, since I have to admit that I didn't do much of searching regarding this issue.
There is a configurator available to install extra languages. Check post #5 in the thread. You'll need 'Locale' from the Market to make it work. I'd be very surprised if Russian wasn't included
Hello
I have a problem I did not find a solution in any place,
The device has the full support of the Arabic language, but
No support for the Arabic language in the keyboard layouts Foreign
I can not write with the external keyboard,
Is there some way to resolve this problem
I want a way to add the Arabic language keyboard layouts
I look forward to the bright ideas
Away from racism, because I did not find a solution in the Arabic-speaking communities
Please see this thread.

I have read all the posts.
There is no solution in this link
Is there something helps add the Arabic language in the keyboard layouts
- The application helps add languages in keyboard layouts
- File is modified it and include it in the system files
Or other ways
I know that there are a lot of solutions, but you need an expert to someone

Well, if it doesn't exist then you have 2 options with open source.
1. Help make it yourself.
2. Sit down and hope someone else makes it.
Since #2 isn't working out so well, you're going to have to help make one - kabaldan offered to even help you through the process... Or someone who posts a lot like you.

Unfortunately, no one helps one here
Did not generate a scientist in these things
I want some help on this subject for I am new in the world of Android
How do I deal with open source or what are the files you have to modify them in order to enter in the Arabic language keyboard layouts
I will be thankful to you

How unearthed code layouts for external keyboard and Kiffa adjusted for the Arabic language

Well I would compare
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...AsantiKeypad/res/raw/keypad_asanti_qwerty.kcm
with
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...tiKeypad/res/raw/keypad_asanti_cro_qwerty.kcm
To get an idea of what needs to be changed... Again, there needs to be someone who is an expert in Arabic (and English) to really understand what character in Arabic should take the place of a key on the keyboard.
Good luck.
Edit - I did some googling... Maybe this article will help you. If you'd like, we can try to apply it to CM and you can tell me if it works.
Edit 2 - this may be a bit above my pay grade, mainly because I do not understand Arabic. Maybe you can help make sense of the KCM for Arabic?
