[Q] How do you add languages? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I can't seem to find an answer to this through searching. I see videos where people show they have all language packs, but explain how they got it.
Does anyone know where to get them and how to install them?
PS - I'm not referring to Keyboards. Talking about entire system Language and Input.

I'm not certain if this will work, but if you have Root access, you can try this free app: MoreLocale2. It has some good reviews, but I have never used it.

Easy

Swype

How Do I download the full version of swype?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
The website...
Unless they've changed anything recently.
Have you checked the themes and apps forum (of xda)?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
you can register to take part in the beta testing, that is the only legitimate way (and when the beta expires, you simply pick up a new one)
Paul is correct just signup for the beta
Anyway I suggest you to try the nuance flext9 . I've always used swype but then I tried the flex, cause I was tired of the many bugs of swype... now I'm totally satisfied! I'll never go back to swype xD
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Oh ok. Where can you download that for free?

Sorry we don't support stealing apps around these parts, I'm assuming your asking about Flext9 not swype, directions for which andy has supplied below
Get the beta for free and legal here --> http://beta.swype.com
Just sign up and they will send you the download link.
Does swype not work for anyone else? When I downloaded the beta, it said it was designed for another device. It's just a regular keyboard, I can't drag/swype to type. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Help with Chinese input

Hey everyone. So I just noticed my phone has the option to switch to Chinese under the language settings. I've been flashing rooms and kernals for awhile on this phone. Currently I am on tdjs dark side beta 3.
So some of my relatives recently took advantage of the free gs2 offer from T-Mobile and got their phones. They've come to me to see if I can change their phone to Chinese. The weird thing is, that I can't even see that option on their phones.
Is this because I'm rooted with a different rom? Or is it because I'm on ICS that has the ability to have the option or Chinese?
What's the quickest and easiest way for me to add Chinese to their phones. I'm not talking about the Google Pinyin app, I'm looking to change the language of the entire phone to Chinese.
Any help or tips will be greatly appreciated.

Bump. Need help please

Even though the phone supports many languages only a few of them will show in the menu. Using this app will allow you to access the hidden languages and set it as the system language. Be advised the languages are in pseudo alphabetical order so you will have to scroll the whole list to find the language you're looking for.

Am gonna look for it now to see what it is...never heard of it...let me look into this
Caan you post a link to this? I tried searching and market and cannot find it ?
It's not in the market. I found an apk here on xda by searching on Google for it. I forget which thread, but I didn't like it. It's still in beta though

I got this link signed_Flexo.apk - 29.90 MB[/URL. From somewhere here on xda. Sorry but I can't find the right post I found it in I have looked in so many lol. So far its not bad but its got a ways to go. No auto punctuation no auto capitalization after a period and if it chooses a word for you then that's the word you get, no correction bar choose yourself. Big one for me is no period in main keyboard, but it is a beta afterall.

How did you get it to work on the note 2 please explain Mister? Lol thanks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
I just downloaded that .apk and installed and went into language and input in settings and choose it. There are a few .apks that wont work, I think I tried 4 or 5 before I found the one linked to that worked.
I spent most of the afternoon yesterday getting it working & testing it out on my note & it's pretty cool, but far from ready. It does have correction, by sliding up or down after you type the word. You can cycle through all the possible suggestions by sliding down for next, or up for previous.
Punctuation is done with two swipes to the right, and the symbol keyboard comes up with a swipe up from the bottom right. It's very simplistic, even to the point that you can hide the spacebar & just slide for spaces or punctuation.
I had to use a modded version because the original beta authenticates via device & email address. I'll put the version i found up if anyone wants to try.

Handwriting on Note 2

Please forgive me if this has been asked before. I'm wanting to learn to use the handwriting on my Note 2. I loved this feature back in the day when I was using Palm and could use the handwriting faster than typing. I can't find a guide to learn the strokes for the characters to use this feature on the Note 2. Can someone point me to a link that I could learn to use the handwriting on the Note 2?
Enable samsung keyboard and in keyboard settings enable pen detection. Change handwriting settings the way you like . There is tutorial too.

It actually learns your writing, and is better at it than any other phone I've had before.
I hated the palm short strokes shortcuts, but I remember a few people who could fly writing that way.
I can't find a tutorial at all.
I find the handwriting recognition to be very, err, uneven. As if it didn't use the dictionary enough, sometimes suggesting things that really aren't words.

Unlike the Palm where you're writing in a special handwriting gestures, with the Note 2, you just write how you usually write - that's the cool magic part of it. No need to learn how to write.

darekz, any idea why I don't have input languages in handwriting settings
been looking all over the web for a way to add another handwriting language
Hmmm...
I installed additional language (polish PL) from play store. Maybe that is reason why I have a choice?

Were the Handwriting Settings deprecated in 4.3? For the life of me I can't find these settings. They are no longer under the Samsung keyboard settings.

Sorry I should have been more specific. I'm not looking for the Tutorial but the Handwriting Settings (the dialog in the picture). In the Handwriting Settings you can change the Recognition Type, Recognition Time, etc.

S3 Keyboard w/number row

Hi guys, I just wanna start off by saying I'm not sure if this is the right section, so correct me if I'm wrong. I want a keyboard similar to Google's for nexus devices, noe on the play store, but 5 row. Yes, I mean a number row on the top. Is there an app like this or an apk? If there is, can someone share it? Thanks.

I know there are keyboards in the store that have this. I know PerfectKeyboard does. With it I'm pretty sure you can display it all the time.

The only keyboard that I know of with the number row on top is the note2 keyboard. You can download it (or try nearly every other one) from the ported apps link in my sig. I dont even know of any like that in the play store either.
Ok, sorry, PK doesn't have it as a default option. I was thinking of the arrow keys. However, you can edit the punctuation in the suggestion bar to be numbers instead of punctuation. Only drawback is when you are typing a word it shows suggestions instead. Or you could turn that feature off.
