htc_ime with more prediction languages?

I installed the htc_ime.apk. The hero keyboard is just amazing. The problem that I face like many many other users is that I write in French and German and text prediction is only available in English. Would anyone be able to provide the hero keyboard with more prediction languages? I believe that would help a lot of people! Many thanks!

If your ROM supports French and German you can set the XT9 language to those with a trick. First set your keyboard language and the system language to english, reboot, then set system language to french (or whatever) and reboot again, now your XT9 is in french. This works for Dutch in Cyanogen 3.6.8.
If you want to do it easier flash Smartphone France firmware, it has Dutch, German, French, English and Spanish XT9 and you can select the input lang from the keyboard settings.

doesnt work for me!

Actually I have the normal swiss cupcake and I have installed the HTC_ime. The xt9 language change works indeed when changing phone's language, even without restart. But I would like to be able to change xt9 language without changing phone's language. any ways to do that without loading another firmware?

is anyone able to bring this modification?

I'd also love this feature. I'm from Spain, but I like my phone in English (computers, and whatever), because of the poor quality and completeness of the translations. I'd love to be able to get back Spanish XT9

In the German "Telephone Keyboard" Mode, the letters ü/Ü, ä/Ä, ö/Ö doesn't exist...
Could someone help me please?
In the HERO Roms, they work fine...

I have the same issues, I live, in the US, speak english, like my phones, and everything in english, except, most of my texts are in spanish,
I don't want to have my whole phone in spanish, so just that I could write a text message, windows phones have this feature with no problems,
also better keyboard has it, but, I found out I like HTC keyboard better

"teaching" the HTC keyboard extra languages

I am using the HTC keyboad (HTC_IME.apk) on Cyanogen 4.2.12 and am quite pleased with this keyboard.
However, as I daily switch between English, Dutch and German I would love the autocorrect function to support all these languages (at the same time).
I have noticed that the HTC keyboard saves unknown words in its English autocorrect library when they are not in there already. So, by typing in other languages while having english language correction on I slowly "teach" the HTC keyboard my other languages.
Now my question is, can I speed up this process by copying the the dutch and german dictionary of the Android system to the autocorrect library of HTC? If so, I would be very happy to learn how that is done.

[Q] French Canadian keyboard on the Nexus S

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.

[Q] French Canadian keyboard with Android Revolution HD Rom

Hi there!
I just got a HTC Sensation phone and quickly rooted it and installed Android revolution hd rom with gingerbread 2.3.5 and sense 3.5 and everything works perfectly!
I was wondering if it was possible to have a french canadian keyboard. It seems to have international language but if I select french, I only have a azerty keyboard. The options are to have a qwerty keyboard with english prediction or azerty keyboard with french prediction and I would really like to have a qwerty keyboard with french prediction.
I hope my post isn't to hard to understand...Sorry for my not so good english and thanks a lot for your help and answers!

You can try another keyboard from the market, do some research on those and see?

I already had swiftkey x in the past and it works well.
I was just asking 'cause I like htc stock keyboard. It's not really important and if it's impossible or too hard, well, I can live with swiftkey

So no one can answer why french canadian (or english canadian) keyboard are not available in many custom roms ?
There are like 100 type of keyboards and CM7 has it for my phone, same with CM9 for my Touchpad.
