How to change keyboard language - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

I have flashed my TP2 from the original Orange WWE ROM to the official HTC WM6.1 ITA ROM
Now I have the english keyboard with italian ROM so many keys don't match the symbol to type.
Should I change some key into the registry to let the ROM know I'm using an english keyboard?
Thanks to all in advance

I cannot find how to change the keyboard language

Did you try clicking on "HTC_Rhodium/Changing Keyboard Layout" ?

I had to use "WWE" instead of the country code because on the Windows folder I only had some language map but not the english one.
So if someone else has my problem, this is the registry value to be used : eT9.Rhodium.wwe.kmap.txt
You'r my hero, thanks !

Can you please update the wiki accordingly, in order to help other people?
Thanks!

Edit the registry so you keyboard language will reflect your system language:
Goto the following registry entry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]
There is a key called 'Layout' and it is in Decimal.
The default value of English ROM is 20409, and Chinese ROM is 20404 (both are in hexadecimal).
The suitable value for German Hermes keyboard is 20407 (132103 in decimal).
The suitable value for Spanish Hermes keyboard is 2040a (132106 in decimal).
Probably Hermes use 20+country ID (409=WWE, 407=German, 404=Trad. Chinese, etc...) format for keyboard layout value.
After changing these settings soft reset the device to make it work.
If you are using Cingular device there should be a CAB floating around, use search.
i tried to search...i used the cingular wap settings but didn't find another cingular cab...if you can post it here...it would be greatly appreciated...
i just tried changing the registry...to the english one...it doesn't work?

I am using Google to find what needed on this site. If you use good search query you will get better results than with integrated search (and usually it is faster too ).

A lot of it may be that we have read a lot of posts and happen to remember which thread it was in, however, I just did a search to see if I could find it.
"Cingular keyboard fix cab" is what I used. It was the third post down. When looking for a file, just click the little paperclip and it will show all the available files in that thread.
Much easier than reading 400 posts.
Enjoy the forum

I downloaded this path but i am not sure what to do with them after extracting them. I am new to upgrading my hermes. I am running Schap's 4.31 rom. I am trying to get my keyboard to operate correctly. I tried a few of the ways above and have failed.

You can use
1) advanced config to set the keyboard language
2) DONT extract the cab, just copy it to your phone, then click on it in file explorer, it will install then.

I entered 40409 in "Decimal" and it worked after a soft reset.
Previously I entered 20409 and it did not.
Edit: I have some buttons which still do not work.

Layout Keyboard

Hi Guys, i have a question...
If i flash my WM5 TyTN (Ita) to a WM6 English Version how can i do to have a right KeyBoard layout?
Thx
dont worry about the keyboard layout too much. just READ the forums and you will see that there are keyboard fixes for all of the known layout issues. some like the ROMs from Custel even allow you to change the layout through a built in application in the setting.
well thx for the answer... I search and i found not so much just: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313814&highlight=keyboard+layout+fix
Is it the right way or does exist a .cab file?
Just install Shadowmites HTCustom1.5
It allows you to choose different kb layouts.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1271619
It does sound like you need to do some more reading though.
well there is always something to learn
Thx a Lot
Well on this file you told me to download there are a lot of intrestin language but NO ITALIAN
I'm sorry ops
I 'll see if I can find something.
Will this help:

Under the Heading:
"Restore local language support for sliding keyboard after upgrade to a different language ROM"
a program called "HTCustom" would help

XT9 Dictionaries

I've flashed the Energy Rom "Leo" (WM 6.5.1 Manila 2.5), and therefore loost the standard Portuguese T9 dictionary that was build on my HTC.
Is there any way to fix this ?
Been reading through the forum and found no info that applies to the Energy Rom (don't know if this is a Rom specific issue or a Manila 2.5 issue)
Got the same question... can anybody help?
No one ?
Seams that no one has the same problem, so i guess i will have to live without the PT dictionaries on my phone... that's a crap
Maryone has a ROM in portuguese. And with this ROM there is the XT9 Portuguese input.
Meybe we can exctract this dictionary from thar ROM, but how???
I've found this
I've found this file a while ago.
I don't remeber witch languages there are, but try them. 14 different languages, who might help you.

English
Spanish
Finnish
French

how can i change the default xt9 language on win 6.5 manila 2.5?
thx
Hi,
Install the cab in post 5.
Start a new message, go to keyboard settings, and change language to the one you want.
Set the Text input settings as you like, and then it's working.

but now i've a new problem -.-
if I enable XT9 now the keyboard became useless... none of the letters I press appear on the screen...
After have installed the cab the only thing i've done is to set language to italian in HD Tweak Info --> Language
what could be happened?
I've solved this problem by installing Fingerkeyboard.
Then it works fine.

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
