Strange words in German dictionary - P3300, MDA Compact III General

I have a german Artemis and I really wonder about the words that are available in the input dictionary. A lot of very common words are missing but a lot of strange and rarely used words are available. Where did Microsoft take these words from? Did they prefer long words as to maximize the time you save by using the dictionary?
The german dictionary contains "anregung" but not "anruf" or "anrufen", "instanz" but not "installation", "sterblichkeit" but not "sterben". Words like "mögen", "möchte" and "Michael" are missing, instead there is "Hügellandschaft".
I know how to add words but I guess there is no way to put a completely alternative dictionary!?

HTC S620 (Excalibur) and T9...

Does anybody know a way to install T9 or the newer version from the Dash on the S620? I really like the word-completion feature of my other smartphones and PPC's.
Thanks!
we'll probably have to wait until someone extracts the extrom of the dash rom
Careful what you wish for
why did you buy the S620 if it is to put T9 on it?
The only benefit of this smartphone is the full qwerty keyboard, it sounds a bit strange to want to restrict yourself to the numeric pad to type your messages?
It's actually the newer xT9, you're not restriced to the numeric keys -- it predicts as you're typing words with the qwerty keyboard. Future versions might be more useful, but I find it more of a hinderance now. There's no way to configure it or edit the dictionary, it kicks in when you don't necessarily want it to and memorizes passwords, as well as showing them while you're entering them. Where ever the dictionary resides, mine is full of typos and passwords. Would be nice if you could uninstall or just shut it off. You can press ALT then SPACE and switch to just letter entry, but at some point it'll come back...

I understand that T9 is directed more towards standard phone keyboards, but I use it on my Hermes all the time. When typing a long email, the word completion can save time.
T9 dictionary edit
I am super annoyed by wrong words being added to the T9 dictionary!
I tried using the msT9Ed.exe, but it seems to not find the correct file.
I did find a file called "eT9Cdb.cdb" in the Windows folder, but don't know if this is the right thing to edit.
Anyone found something lately to edit the T9 dictionary?
newer xT9

Italian dictionary software

I'm off to Italy bext week and was wondering if anyone knows of a good software package for the HD that includes a dictionary and or phrase book?
(I assume this is the right forum?)
Thanks
http://www.shopwiki.co.uk/detail/d=...cise_(Pocket_PC),_English-Italian_dictionary/
This is the best it-en-it dictionary i've ever found.
(i assume you are english or american, so i have taken the first non-italian url on google)
Thanks
Yeah I am English, I assume this is good for general day to day use?
it is "THE" dictionary. But much depends on your needs: if you're looking for a talking dictionary, or a "the-pen-is-on-the-table / the-cat-is-under-the-table" touristic dictionary, maybe it's not the right one...

Changing language from the keyboard?

Is this possible at all? I've been trying to find out how to do it but I get way too many results about other keyboards or other iterations of HTC's keyboard...
Anyway, I can't seem to figure out how to do it on my EVO, kind of indispensable since I switch a lot from English to Spanish mid-message (and vice versa)... Whenever I type anything in Spanish I end up inadvertently adding words to the dictionary, and the alternative would be to have no auto-correction which would suck.
So can anybody help an Android noobie out? I've been meaning to try Swype (which I'm told has a key for language switching) but I wanted to have the option of using either keyboard anyway.

Bilingual post spelling options

The HTC One X has the option to underline badly spelled words. It seems to be related to the system language, and therefore it does not seem to be possible to make it bilingual. I would like to have the system check for both Dutch and English, but it seems I have to choose based on my system language. On the other hand, text prediction (so not the post-spelling check!) is able to work with two languages at a time.
Therefore my question: is it possible to set the post-spelling options to both Dutch and English, or will I have to live with just one language (as I fear at the moment)?
Bilingual trace
I'm afraid I'm replying not with an answer, but with an additional question.
I have the impression that the bilingual feature is strictly limited to predictions/suggestions while normally using the keyboard. Because I noticed that when I'm using the Trace feature (very handy in my opinion), it reverts to only using the System Language... sad
Did anyone else notice this? Is there any way to make the second language work for Trace as well (and for the post-spelling check)?
Shouldn't be that hard to develop, so it seems like they just forgot to add this. Except if I'm missing something?

[Q] Two Personal Dictionaries

I seem to have acquired two personal dictionaries, with my custom words shared between the two.
If I use the 'touch again to save' method, the word appears in the 'English (United Kingdom)' dictionary, otherwise it appears in the 'English' one.
Anyone else notice this, or have an idea whether it's a feature/bug?
I've got the same problem after installing Google keyboard. I've been using Swype for some time thus I hadn't payed much attention.
No matter what I try now, the system wants to put every new word I add into the "English" dictionary where they used to go into the "English (united states)" dictionary.
