Language Issues - Defy General

This is the first time I bumped into this issue, and I must admit it sucks
Here's the deal, in every single phone I had I've used the phone (UI) in english, and wrote text in spanish using Itap.
My last phone (nokia 5800) had no problems with that.
With this new one, Moto Defy, I see there's no way to change the UI language, and the auto-prediction separately.
I thought it had to do with the fact that Android by default doesn't have a T9 like keyboard for text input so I downloaded a couple of apps for that but all have the same issue, they work fine, but they keep using the language for auto-prediction set in Settings (which is English, for the UI)
Does anybody know how I could accomplish this?
Hope somebody can help =)
Regards!

I had your same issue and I solved it using "htc ime mod keyboard"; you can find it here on xda forum, not on the market (therefore you have to manually install it).
It's fully customizable, has T9 prediction, supports many languages.
Infact I configured the volume button to quickly switch between 2 languages that I use.

thanks, i've tested it and tried but it feels somewhat slow to me :S
I'm really picky when it comes to typing speed so maybe it's just me. I'll see what I can do but thanks =)

Alright, for WWE rom of X1, download and install Ce-Star 2.8c, brought you by Mobem. While installing, do not tick any SIP comes with the software. After installation, reboot, install either "PlumSIP V6.1" or "sogou Pinyin for mobile". for plumsip supports hard keyboard while sougou pinyin supports vast words of popular. they all comes with PinYin style of inputing. for handwriting style, use which comes with CE-Star as "手写输入".
Thanks guys, the only problem now is how to stop plumsip from changing my font. It changes it to this Times New ROman like font and makes certain things, like smses very small. Tried to change back to tahoma in xperiatweak but it doesnt work

[Q] Thai Font HTC Decsire

Hi guys,
I have recently purchased a HTC Desire. To my surprise it does not support Thai font. I frequently receive SMS messages in Thai, and all I receive using this phone is SMS messages filled with squares. My question is: Is there a thai font/language pack?. I have tried Anysoft keyboard and the thai language pack, however that did not enable my phone to read thai, rather it just installed the ability to type it.
Also I would prefer to have this ability without rooting my phone, as I am inexperienced, and if you will, almost completely technology illiterate.
If rooting is the ONLY way, I need a guide, but I have seen so many guides on how to root, and I still do not understand (think of me as your computer illiterate mother.... I just don't understand no matter how many times you tell me). zif rooting is the only way, can someone explain it in slightly more english.
Please help with this issue,
Cheers
I am also interested in this topic. Anyone knows if there's a way to make Desire support Thai fonts?
I would like to know this to.
You guys are looking for an app in the market place called: star tranlate
It translates sms and all sorts - also Thai language is supported.
Froyo supports Thai fonts. Couldn't be ass to wait for OTA update from Orange so I rooted my Orange branded Desire and installed LeeDroid ROM yesterday.
Only problem is, it doesn't have Thai keyboard (well, it has but it doesn't have Thai characters on it) but you can download C&N Thai keyboard from the market.
I solved this by installing AnySoftKeyboard available at Android Market. After this I installed the AnySoft Thai Language Pack. First I didn't realize that the installation worked, but after figuring out how to configure the input method and switch between English and Thai keyboard (you simply swipe sideways) it works like an absolute charm.
No rooting required, installation done in less than 10mins.
Recommended. Let me know if you need help configuring the input method, krub.
EDIT: I should add that all existing functions in the Phone where Thai fonts are being used are now displaying Thai. For instance, all information in the contacts and old text messages from my previous phone.
gud job keep it up!!!

Haha, I wish I'd known about this 4 months ago when I first got the phone!

Swype 3.25 works

I've been hoping for something like Swype for a while, and now with the 3.25 beta it works on my A43. Now, if only it had a hexagonal ATOMIK layout instead of that silly QWERTY one! (But there are patent issues with the ATOMIK layout.)
Yeah, it also works on the 101 now.
Only problem:
The language settings don't show all languages that are listed as supported in the offical resoulution / language table.
As an example, German is missing. (Don't know about all others)

I have swype on my HTC Legend phone.
I think swype on a A101 is difficult.
I use the multiling-keyboard which has 'big' keys for easy touch.
hmmm
im not really a fan of swype
ive downloaded flex t9 and i use that on all my devices
it does have swype like abilities but i feel its better
just my opinion
I used swipe but found swiftkey better for me. Use on both SGS & 101
Just intalled it on my 101... REALLY liking this new version (wasn't a big fan of the older version).
Is it supposed to be centered like that and not taking up the whole screen, or is that just a problem on our devices?
Either way, seems to be working very welll!
Using thumb keyboard loving it

Yes, German is missing. Strangely some people in German forums got it working anyway. Don't know how they did it.

Keyboard bug

Got my Nexus today (Vodafone Portugal) and there's a bug with the keyboard, i choose Portuguese language and auto correct doesn't work, at all. Completly empty diccionare ... it works fine with english. Any hint on this?
Thks.
Probably a stupid answer but try adding each word into the dictionary lol. Or might be fixed in an update
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Geeeez ... i'm just using swiftkey x. Thks for the answer anyway. Maybe it doesn't include Portuguese corrections, only the keyboard itself?
I've had a problem where some forms on websites (like this one) just inexplicably turn auto correct off. Haven't found any rhyme or reason to this yet.

[Q] Hardware keyboard settings

How do I change this from English? It's the default language and there are no other options to choose. I want to use Simplified Chinese with Pinyin input on the keyboard. The soft keyboard works fine, only the hardware keyboard has this problem.
I'd like to know it too. I'm using a DZ with stock rom and spanish hw keyboard, but I have only bthe english layout...
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Well, this worked fine in my Windows Mobile phone. I could switch back and forth from English to Chinese on both soft or hard keyboards. But from reading around, I seem to find that the keyboard is locked to one language. What a dumb idea. Yet another stupid problem with my phone that shouldn't be a problem.
I'm using GO keyboard from the android market. You're able to download multiple language packs as well and Pinyin is working fine for me even on the physical keyboard.
Thanks for the advice, it works great. A bit of trouble to get Chinese working correctly, but it's fine now.
Glad to help. =D
Other keyboards that support language change via hardware keyboard are Smart Keyboard Pro and AnySoftKeyboard.
