I have a Hero bought in The Netherlands. So far, I think it's a wonderful piece of technology. However, the version I have comes only with English, French, German and Dutch keyboard languages. I'm Spanish and most of the messages I write are in Spanish, I also write some in English. The work that HTC has done on the keyboard is great, but I had to disable the Prediction and the Spell correction every time I want to write in Spanish. So, my question is, is it possible to install other Keyboard languages? I don't mean the language for the UI, just the keyboar language.
I'm a noob to Android and I'm really enjoying the experience but having this will really improve it a lot
Nobody has an answer or am I asking and stupid question?
No idea, but I'd love to get Chinese language input support on my Hero. I had it on my HTC Magic, but my Hero doesn't have it, and I'm somewhat bummed out. If anyone has any pointers to get this without rooting the device, that would be great!
It has to be possible, as my HTC Hero (bought in the UK) comes with the Spanish Language preinstalled and hence, the Spanish spellchecking dictionary:

Almost the same issue here.. I need the Danish dictionary to my Hero bought in England ;-) ...
Hopefully someone will upload a dump of a Scandinavian Hero within a few days/weeks as it becomes available in more and more shops/carriers.
Ok well my story is a weird one... I got my phone from France, unlocked etc... The first day I set it up, it recognized? that I live in greece, and I had as a second language on my keyboard Greek.... I then did a restore just to clear some stuff up, and cant that keyboard back ever since :-( It's in there somewhere, Google just doesnt let us have em!!! Any ideas on getting it back?

Exactly the same thing happened to me. After first start i had Swedish dictionary and after restore it is gone. Talked to HTC Support and they only said that it should be the same. Only suggestion I get was to try a new restore with the SIM card out , Havent tried that though.

There is a thread on one of the other forums that show you how to install a new language. Do a search for "ime" and you should find it.

Install this, it doesn't require rooting your Hero
http://app.sj.91.com/handler/operation.ashx?action=download&platform=Android&f_id=606
This was made by HTC and was extracted by someone using the Chinese version of the Hero. It supports both simplified and traditional Chinese. After installing and enabling it inside setting, you need to end the task TouchInput (the English keyboard, a reboot will also work) to make it work. A new task Touch Input Chinese will then be loaded and you are good to go.

This actually works, albeit I can only be able to use the handwriting method, Cangjie and Stroke won't work for me (doesn't show a keyboard, and return to English keyboard after a while)

If u really need a chinese input method, download the google ime (developed by google china)from android market. Detail information can be browsed here http://www.googlechinablog.com/
To change the local language, plz install customlocale.apk
Update: I just rooted my Hero and installed the CIME from Haykuro's Hero. works like a charm, the only question is whether my Hero will be able to accept and install OTA updates/upgrades henceforth...

But the Google one supports only simplified Chinese and it uses the standard Android keyboard, which has smaller keys and doesn't support multi-touch making it slower to type compared to the HTC one.

You'd better use english ROM and localize only the keyboard with LEng or some other tool.

Seems you are new here , dont know who is Mamaich , better look what his post and how he help people in here , maybe you had no ideal how made AKU3.2 rom ,and why everyone made any rom always said thanks Mamaich,I think you better said sorry to him,they are no any RUS rom for Uni in the world but I knew Mamaich can make it , but why he said sucks ? I tell you why because cant find VGA RUS mui special in some of program , if you can find it than said sucks for him or me otherwide sucks is you AXP understand.
PS.Mamaich lived in RUS
Russian interface sucks for 4 reasons.
1. Awful translation. Sometimes you need to translate a phrase back to English just to understand what it should mean. I call it "русЕфЕкация".
2. Localized interfaces look ugly - lines don't fit dialogs, font problems, etc.
3. Localized ROMs appear later than english, so you have to use obsolete OSes.
4. Localizations are made by Quarta and similar companies who do them via reverse engineering ROMs (extracting & translating resources, patching hardcoded strings, editing registry etc - I know what I'm talking about). In most cases this is done incorrectly, and such ROMs are unstable.
The best thing you can do - is to localize only the on-screen/hardware keyboard and select Russian regional settings. In this case you'll get a stable OS and an ability to use Russian.
Attached one screenshot (this is a russian version of Windows desktop search downloaded from microsoft site).
But there are already many ROMs have Chinese interface.The mui files and some dll files were all translated into Chinese.
However,I still love the English interface.What I did was only to replace wince.nls with a Chinese one, remove all the English inputs and SmartDialer,and replace the ttf file with Chinese file,also edit registry.Without mamaich,we can never do this.

Probably, I should apologize. My English not so is good, and I have understood a phrase literally - that Russia (instead of the Russian interface) - sucks. With your statements I absolutely agree. Itself and I do.

I think everything is OK right now. Russian fonts are already present in every ROM - either Helmi's or Ivan's or Jwrightmcps's. And there are a lot of russian keyboards to choose from. So everyone can use Mobile Word or smth to edit russian docs.
And it's not too difficult to remember some menu items in English even if the user doesn't know English.
And, sure, OS developers can not make english applications to run in russian.
So I don't see a problem.
hello guys,
i come from germany and want to know how i can change the language of a rom from wwe to ger??
have somebody of you hint or an manual for me, when it is possible??
thaanks for answers
Hi,
As far as I know you have to change the ROM
yes i know, but it give the newest rom only in wwe and not in german. have somebody an idea how i can change it at my own with a german language file
Welcome aboard,

Hope it helps,
And don´t forget to vote!
I think you can actually install the font file and German input if there is any.
Myself, for example, is using RRE's 6.5 Rom now, and I installed Chinese font and input. Those stuff works perfect.
sorry but i think you didnt understand me, i have a cooked rom from this page and i want to know as i can switch the language file from these roms (wwe) to a german language file.

I've been trying to install Chinese Fonts and input but ended up hard reset my Tilt2 a few times. Seems all the methods that I've tried messed up the key board. I've tried installing the CE Star and that still messed up the key board.
If your method is stable, would you please point me to the right direction?
do you guys think that changing the language in the "input menu" in advanced config can be successfull in my case --> for example, i've got an AZERTY keyboard (french unbranded rhod100) and i install a wwe rom, so in, english, but i want to be able to write an A by pressing A instead of seeing it put in a Q... dunno if anybody will my idea right, bad english sowwy guys!!?
so the rom stays in english but the input has to correspond to what's printed on my hardware keyboard :S
Dear Everybody,
At last week I made some research for make Central Europen keyboard available for everybody especially that every people who read XDA usually use tha latest UK ROM as the most fresh, always brand new system software. The UK ROM usually contain everything as the Android system in it is multilingual and has all features for almost everybody, but Samsung Keyboard (and sometimes Swype) is different a little bit from this aspect as these 1-2 softwares depend an your CSC settings. If you use UK ROM you will lose real multilingual keyboards, as for UK these are not really needed.
I'm in Hungary so I need real T9 with the latest ROM so... I made them
Based on Sztupy hints on deodexing the keyboards (lot of thanks for it!) and some research between the system files I got some practice so could make my original requests.
The solution:
On 2.1 (example in Galaxy S) the T9 was integrated the keyboard software itself, so when you deodexed the keyboard from one multilingual 2.1, after you deleted your current Sam's keyboard you could drop the deodexed one made a restart and everything was OK.
On 2.2 the T9 database is totally discrete in T9DB folder but need to use the correct deodexed keyboard software of course.
(You not realy need to backup your original or any ROM, etc, because you can rip all needed files in all situations from the corresponding .RFS files (factoryfs.rfs as that base system and cache.rfs as the CSC thingies))
As I have Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab also, after my research I made all available solution for myself and of course for you (on both device), if anybody wouldn't like to make it again.
This/my current keyboard files made from XWJM8 ROM (2.1) and XWJPI ROM (2.2) as the two latest Central European version, and safely usable with any JP* ROM.
Usage:
0, to safe use you need to swith onto any other keyboard and kill the Sam's one or make a restart. (This is not a real needed step, but for smooth switch this will help you to save yourself from some scary FC when you overwrite your system files...)
1, delete all your current keyboard files with adb or root explorer. The files:
/system/app/AxT9IME.apk
/system/app/AxT9IME.odex
/system/lib/libDHWR.so - lower or uppercase!
/system/lib/libXt9core.so
/system/T9DB - if available - just on 2.2 keyboard!
2, copy all my files into the system folders with the same logic.
/system/app/AxT9IME.apk
/system/lib/libDHWR.so
/system/lib/libXt9core.so
/system/T9DB - just on 2.2 keyboard!
3, for smooth and safe method set the permissions to 777 (rwrwrw)
4, restart your device just for safe.
5, try to set up your Sam's keyboard if there is no input language choices then just enable T9 and select UK as input langiugage, and restart again!
Wow, now you have almost all available T9 with latest Sam's keyboard in any ROM what you currently using.
Languages: (in 2.2, sorry but did not remeber about the 2.1 if anybody would like it...)
Bulgarian, Cestina, Dansk, Deutsch, Greek, English (UK), English (US), Espanol, Suomi, Francais, Hrvatski, Hungarian, Italiano, Nederlands, Norks, Polski, Portugues, Romana, Russia, Svenska, Turkice, ***, Slovenscina, Ukrainian, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Serbian
Happy new year!
(See my attachment as the keyboard itself!
XWJM8 - the almost latest 2.1
XWJPI - the latest 2.2)
Same things for Samsung Galaxy Tab also available here:

Good work!
I've really missed proper characters in the ROMs I've tried..
I am also looking for a missing language in Samsung keyboard.
I followed your steps and it looks like all went correctly, but as a result I have the option to change the languages, but my Bulgarian keyboard do not appear.
I am not sure if those files contain all internationalization data, as I installed the Gingerbread keyboard as well and got the same problem with it - there is Bulgarian to select, but does not appear once chosen.
I am recently trying Doc's ROMS with JPY base. Any idea?
Hi boyanovv!
I also tried this simple mod in order to get my native input language on SGS.
Had also the same problem, but after all it worked
Here is how I did (some parts may be useless, but maybe not):
Switched to Swype. Using Root Explorer moved .apk and 2 .so files, didn't had T9DB and .odex file. Uploaded modified files. Rebooted (didn't do 777). Went to settings, set input method to Samsung Keyboard. Disabled XT9, added my language to keyboard, didn't add English. Checked if it works, but didn't. Rebooted. Didn't work. Uploaded T9DB folder to /system/. Rebooted. Enabled XT9, set locale to English UK, removed all input languages. Rebooted. Added my needed languages and changed locale to US, disabled XT9. Rebooted. Worked, even russian
I used 2.2 files and I have DebusROM XXJPY.
regdude - thanx, gonna test your version.. atm I'm using the 2.1 keyboard, only I could get to work, but really preferred the 2.2.
Hi All,
Sorry for delay but I hadn't got free minutes in last days for gadgets, but refreshed the SGT pack with the latest and check this topic also. Without T9DB you will never get predictive dictionary of course but and as I tried to told you don't need .odex file as for usable for everybody I needed to deodex the keyboard software also. You just need that 4 things... The main .apk, the 2 .so and the needed dictionary files in /system/T9DB folder... with selected English and restarted device you need simply get those languages. I tried with not all but lot of them and the keys were correct and got dictionary also. Of course if you don't need you can use just those languages what you need not all but my pack contain lot of...
Hope everybody could use as I tested on 4 devices without problems. ( On Galaxy Tab I got some NEE files what missed from that ROM what I used for the multi pack, but over on it was everything OK. )
Bye...
thank you!

Same problem here.. I can set languages in settings.. but I can't slide the _ to change between the languages.. only a few are there. Another time I got it to work, my SMS got quite strange.. half my msgs got changed to Chinese, after I sent them, they were in Swedish on my phone, my girlfriend sent me some msgs back asking if I was joking with her.. lol
2.1 works, though I preferred the 2.2 T9 Keypad.
cant seem to get the 2.2 to work... or the keyboard works... but not the languages...

Same problem as me then. With the 2.1, I get at least Swedish, English and Croatian. However.. when I send SMS, sometimes half gets changed to Chinese(I don't see it, but my girlfriend was wondering what I was on when sending her texts in Chinese), I got no idea if it's the ROM or the keyboard that does it. Quite odd though.
After that I found the HTC_IME, it works quite well for me(girl don't get messages in Chinese anymore), but I still prefer the Samsung 2.2, if I could get it to work.

Hi! Can you enable all languages for Samsung Keyboard on Gingerbread 2.3.3???
I've installed this. Does T9 work. I enable it all everywhere and then try typing 843 on the t9 keypad and it doesn't change it to "the"
or any other word combo i try. Does it work for others. Maybe i'm missing something
you sure you enabled the correct keyboard?
English definitely should work, some of us that use other languages got problems, but English works for.
Also, another proper working T9 is the HTC_IME, you may wanna test it.
