Hi all,
First off, I want to congratulate everyone for their exellent job here on XDA.
I own a Diamond right now, and I'm looking into buying a TP2. After searching this forum, and having read the Wiki, there's only one question I want to ask.
Regarding the hardware keyboard, is it somehow linked to the soft keyboard? Meaning that, I'm planning on buying a QWERTY keaybord, even though I'm french. So, changing the language on the SIP menu from english to french, would it change the Hardware layout as well?
And, last but not least, can that be done for greek as well? I mean, switching from english to greek and to french easily?
Thank you for your time.
Regards,
NoWorthWhile.
I'm interested in purchasing this phone and would like to know if it is possible to add Hebrew and Russian languages to an English ROM. Is having 3 languages going to be a problem with typing through the qwerty keyboard?
keep in mind that Hebrew is right to left language (if it makes any difference :/ )
I used to own an HTC VOX and remember having a bit trouble with it. but then again, it was older OS.
Thanks in advance
Hi guys
It's been nearly 10 hours since i start searching in this great forum and around the internet for a solution to enable on my HTC desire to read arabic, and i finally came a at this page which will resolve the issue until we have an official full Arabic support from Google or HTC.
What you need is 2 things :
1 - Mirsal
http://android.azizus.info/?page_id=4
Application to let you read SMS in Arabic
2 - Ibrahim Keyboard (same great developer)
http://android.azizus.info/?page_id=20
Once you have both .. you'll be to read/write Arabic on your device.
Hope this can help your problem
Long live XDA-Developers
edit: if moderators can edit the subject into ( solution to read write Arabic in htc desire ) it will be better to help newbies.
Thanks much, greatly appreciated! (I'm still learning the rich language)
EDIT: still only recognizes Arabic input/text in SMS. Anywhere else and the language just shows up as boxes.

Greeting, I am expecting my ACE coming weekend, with full eagerness. Anybody managed to replace font files for this release to support Arabic language.
Hi. Its support Arabic but don't have rtl support yet. We need root for that...

You can use a program called 'Mirsal' in the meantime. It can read and write arabic text messages and it supports RTL. You do not even need root to install it!
For some reason it is no longer on the Android market, so you will have to google it.

I don't know about numbers, but on my friends HTC Wildfire it can read and write arabic from right to left fine.
Appreciate your reply, however, the app [Mirsal] is just a workaround to the issue. We would like to incorporate the Arabic fonts natively on the device, like what was done on the Nexus One scenario. Actually latest news on N1, they added the Arabic support part of Cyanogen ROMs
Even if someone builds CM6 for the DHD, you won't be able to flash it, since we don't have full root

Why don't you wait for it to hit the middle east? HTC said this so that costumers will get Arabic support unlike people who will buy the phone outside which won't be supported.This was a response from HTC MEA to someone who was planning to import the phone from UK

all the issue with the language was misunderstanding.
the froyo and the DHD is sopport hebrew and arabic fonts,
so we can write/read or see websites, sms and users in our language.
i issue is RTL support that missing, for exeple - if we writing numbers
we will see it up side down - 1234 will show as 4321 and so...
mind me for asking, cant we implement RTL VIA RUU like mentioned here?

Would you please verify if there is an Arabic language listed on the languages section?

again and again and again - same answer.
yes it support Arabic front but he don't have LTR.
I'm not sure if this is relevant or not - especially as I'm not using a DHD - but on my Xperia X10 (UK generic 1.6) I use Handcent SMS. My girlfiend is from the UAE and I sometimes send her texts in Arabic and Handcent seems to support both Arabic font and RTL.
So maybe try Handcent SMS (available free on Market).
I appreciate I could be way off the mark here though so apologies if I've caused any confusion.

Froyo supports displaying the Arabic characters but not reshaping them.. so in case you are viewing Arabic text all the letters will be disconnected and not RTL.. hard to read.. in Hebrew as the letters don't need to be reshaped/connected it displays it fine but will get the reversing problem if a number is inserted.....
so the answer for the Arabic is no..
check this thread for a temp solution

Arabic now is supported by @alsanad
My DHD, bought in Canada, reads Arabic RTL the only problem is that the letters are disconnected. Supposedly Gingerbread will sort this out, whenever it hits the DHD that is.
if you have root you can flash CynogenMod 7 gingerbread and it has full arabic support with connected letters
that's the only one i found so far.
Google gray me
Hi All,
I've got a brand new hTC WildFire S, I'm feeling like I moved from a country to a country, I'd a Tytn II first ages ago (WM) then a blackberry and along with now, I'm having this WildFone , the fone is nice, battery is ok, moving apps to sd improves the memory situation...
I just don't want to take risks, does anybody have an idea about how to make the Arabic Keyboard visible like the English one (like the IPad or something, there is a button like "Earth Planet" beside the Space Buttong ?
Especially, I bought it from Egypt and it's Arabic Enabled...
Simply you can long press the text field on phone ans select INPUT METHOD and then selected desired keyboard.
That was very useful...I've been trying for 3 days to work it out
Same issue, didn't work
Hi, I've just got a brand new wildfire S as well, but from the UK. It has 2.3.3 installed. I've searched the settings for international keyboards and arabic is not there, and when I tried the solution above (long press the text field) it didnt work.
Is it because my phone is not arabic enabled? When I receive text from family the arabic is shown as separated letters (arabic letters are supposed to join always). Are Egypt phones different from UK phones? How is your phone "arabic enabled" and is mine arabic enabled too?
Thanks in advance.
actually as your phone is from UK you will not be able to get the Arabic ROM for it which will make the Arabic letters connect any how if you can S-Off it you will be able to put an Arabic ROM on it otherwise no solution for this.
