I did a full install today of the official 6.1 rom to my i780, and as u might know u get to chose your language and keyboard setup, Swedish, norweigen, danish english and more.
i guess this has to be an "app" in the updatefiles taking care of this?
when i updatet my PDA to a cooked rom my layout changes on the soft and "hard" keyboard and as i have the Swdish keyboard layout i like åäö to work both soft and hard.
if it is possible to "take out" the app that "sets the langugae" in the original setup.exe should'nt we either be able to use it in cooked rom or get info of wjat changes has to be done to make my hard and soft keyboards work with other layouts than english?
I have searched but not find solution but alot of ppl has the same
I'm interested in this too.
Some one more into to this Rom building/cooking should be able to tell me if there is a chance of making this happen?
When i do a new installation of NORDIG official rom 6.1 i get to choose lagugae/layout for my phone, and a "formating" procedure runs and then resets the phone and my device is "swedish" as i see it this means in the updatefiles there is a app. that has all nordic and english "language packs" inkluded.
the "app" them makes all settings and uses dictonery and keyboard setup to my language, this means to med that it should be posible to add this "app" to a cooked rom? i knew there is alot of people here that wants this done.
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.
is this working on Darkys rom 9.2 ?

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.

yea, I accidentally found it when I was trying to find a T9 keyboard for my HTC Tattoo, since it seems all devs like the gingerbread qwerty keyboard even on the low res 2.8", I tried on the Galaxy S and it worked perfect
Hi
I would like to use the stock keyboard that goes with CM9
The problem is that I need a polish dictionary and I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Does anyone know where can I get it ?
also , tips on how to install it are welcomed.
(I found User Dictionary Manager - but It's no good...)

Bump! Looking for it too...
Just few days ago new JB keyboard popped up on Play Store, there's a downloadable dictionary for polish language and many others too.

Hey there,
Today I went from CM9 to Liquidsmooth v1.5
It's so fast!
But there is a problem, Liquid devs deleted other languages from ROM and I need Arabic/Persian language.
So I got the fonts from CM9 and pushed them to Liquidsmooth ROM and fixed the permissions so now fonts are working in web browsing I can read Persian fonts in webs. (Before it was squares!)
Then I installed Smart Keyboard Pro and downloaded persian language for it from Google Play.
Then I noticed that Persian font doesn't work in the OS itself. I mean, when I switch to persian keyboard, all the letters are "squares" and I can't type.
I just need Persian language for web browsing (that I fixed this part) and typing.
I don't want to translate everything. I want my phone to be in English language only I want to fix typing. and I have a keyboard app that supports Persian language. Just it doesn't show the letters (it shows squares)
So, what should I do? I hope someone help me.
Thanks in advance.
PS: I'm still a newbie in android because I got my phone 2 weeks ago, I didn't have time to learn Android programming and other things but I will do it in near future.
I think I have to edit fallback_fonts.xml and push it to the phone too. Right?
Anyone?
For adding languages you need a Rom with the language you want. In ur case Arabic.
So you download AOSP Rom and then you need to get the "values-ar" and "raw-ar" from every apk you want to translate. Its kinda mayn work. Specially if you never done it before and if you do it just like me ;-)
You need some tools like apktool and zipalign and winrar.
I cant really explain how to do it. Iam not in that.

Thanks for your answer mate. But do I really need to do these? Because I don't want to translate anything. I only want it for typing. Fonts work great in web browsing I got them from CM9 ROM.
Liquidsmooth doesn't show the letters in the keyboard but it works in web browsing.
even the keyboard is not the android keyboard I use another keyboard from Google Play that supports Persian language.
Devs really should not delete languages from roms :crying:
