Hi guys, I have a touch HD in English. However im currently in china and would need to have it read chinese characters.. Does any one know how to make it recognize the chinese characters?
THanks!
A good programme I've used for a long time is CE-Star from Mobem Technologies (http://www.mobem.com/products/CE-Star.php). It will enable the display of Chinese characters on Windows devices and also give you the ability to write in Chinese via pinyin or hand writing recognition.
Not sure of a freeware solution or alternative methods.
One point to note if installing CE-Star is that it may automatically adjust your regional settings to the PRC. This will make some programmes change their menus into Chinese (e.g. Google Maps). If this happens just change the regional setting back to an English based country setting and Google Maps, for example, will change back to English.
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!

Same here with Android 2.1 on HTC Wildfire - no luck, a new keyboard showing all squares
Ok!
I've seriously been looking around and couldn't find the right resolution for this.
Everyone should know by now, the new gingerbread ROM comes with the gingerbread keyboard. And the setting of the keyboard let us choose which languages to use/type. I selected EN and VN and obviously I got the swipe the space bar to change language. But I can only get English (EN) so I went out and google all over the forums but all I get is to install more keyboards, more junks onto my phone. So just a quick answer please, does the default gingerbread support Vietnamese typing or not? If yes then lead me.
Kindly.
Me too.
I'm wondering how to type Vietnamese using GingerBread keyboard.
Waiting for solution.
Same problem.
Hey everyone,
Is there a native Android Chinese input method? I know that iOS allows you to write the characters. Is there something similar that is not third party.
Thanks!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
My dad was wondering the same thing. Unfortunately I don't see it in my friend's Galaxy Nexus, so I would say no, it does not have native Chinese input and you'll need to download a third party one (unless custom ROMs have it, then you can go that route).
There is, however, native Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin) voice typing. So you can select "Chinese, Yue (Hong Kong)" and when you press the voice command (on the keyboard or for Google search) you can search for things by speaking Cantonese which is pretty cool.
HTC does a good job of filling in what Vanilla Android is missing as HTC keyboards (probably only in Asian versions of HTC phones) have pinyin and hand writing options on their custom keyboards. Pretty accurate recognition too (I have it on my HTC Panache).

Google's Pinyin IME. Hope this helps.
I recently bought a GT3 for my sister, but she can't use it very well because it's in English.
Is there any custom ROM which has fully functional Hebrew menus and proper right-to-left encoding? I don't like installing the "Google Play solution pack" (anysoft keyboard, Hebrew language pack and so on..) and I wish for it to be as native as possible to the tablet and OS.
Thanks a bunch in advance
