HELP!!! - VIRTUAL KEYBOARD LAYOUT CHANGED to "AZERTY"(French) from "QWERTY"
CAN ANYONE HELP ME CHANGE MY VIRTUAL KEYBOARD BACK TO THE ENGLISH (QWERTY) RATHER THAN THE FRENCH (AZERTY) LAYOUT? Thank you in advance for your help and Merry Christmas!
Hi I have an ATT Tilt 2 and have recently encountered an issue with my virtual (onscreen) keyboard. I am not sure how nor exactly when the issue occurred but my virtual keyboard now has the FRENCH AZERTY keyboard layout rather than the normal QWERTY layout. The layout is now AZERTY :
# A and Q are swapped,
# Z and W are swapped,
# M is moved to the right of L (where colon/semicolon is on a US keyboard), etc.
Most of the characters are in the same place as the ENGLISH keyboard with virtually just the above exceptions.
WHAT I HAVE TRIED:
I have gone to SETTINGS > PERSONAL > INPUT > Input Method (Touch Input) > OPTIONS... button and I see there that the Language is FRENCH!
I have searched and have found no available method to change the LANGUAGE within the SETTINGS.
I have also used ADVANCED CONG. Utilizing the INPUT Selection. However ENGLISH was already the chosen option though the FRENCH LAYOUT is what is portrayed. I have tried changing the language to FRENCH then rebooting - then changing it back to ENGLISH then rebooting again. Nothing has worked.
Again I don't know what changed the layout or exactly when it changed. I believe the last few Software items I downloaded and installed prior to the change are:
DivX Player - SpooNotes -Diamond Tweak - Airscanner Antivirus -Airscanner Scheduler -Wolf's Translator - Irecway RushHour - Photoshop.com Mobile -Writer - and MPlayer .

When keyboard deployed, click the arrow next to the tiny keyboard onscreen. It will show you some options.
From the dropdown menu, select the second from top item (which should be "French" in your case) and choose English instead.
Hi,
How can i change QWERTY hardware keyboard to AZERTY (not layout in rom),k hardware changing ?
is there a way ? i need this to..
Hi,
After installing a dutch ROM, your machine only recognises "QWERTY".
It is easy to switch to "AZERTY" :
Physical keyboard (=hardware keyboard) : you need to install the cab-file.

Virtual Keyboard (= keyboard on touchscreen) :
When keyboard deployed, click the arrow next to the tiny keyboard onscreen. It will show you some options. From the dropdown menu, select the second from top item (which should be "Nederlands" in your case) and choose "Frans" instead. Unfortunately, by doing this, you will loose the auto-correction function for the Dutch language.
If somebody has a BETTER solution, I will be glad to read.
Have you tried the rhodium key controller. It is available here on xda. you can change any key to any function.

How do you install the cab file?
My girlfriend has a galaxy pro with azerty keyboard but after I flashed it the keyboard acts like a qwerty...will this cab file work fir me?
For the software keyboard I have a wide selection of languages and I use Romanian. The layout is the standard QWERTY, but when I long-press some letters, I get access to a few special romanian characters (ă, â, ș, etc.).
The problem I have is with the hardware keyboard. I can only choose English and that's almost fine. I have all the special characters I need when I long-press the letters, but there is only one I miss ("ă" / "Ă"). This one I will get when long-pressing "a" on the software keyboard, but not on the hardware keyboard.
Is there any way to add more hadrware keyboard languages, or somehow edit/add characters to the English configuration? Or should I just send some "hate-mail" to HTC and wait a long time for a fix?
No ideas?
Do any of you have other language options for the hardware keyboard, while the actual keyboard is the standard qwerty?
There must be a way to "Add" more options for the languages of the hardware keyboard..
Anyone?

Please help
Thx
is it possible to remap physical keyboard ?
do anybody knows what keys to press on the physical keyboard to be able to change the input language?
i have Hebrew keyboard as well and i couldn't find any way to change the the language input on physical keyboard.
This is a limitation of the Android OS - you cannot change the language of the physical keyboard that easily - I never found a way to do it, but theoretically it would involve access to the software or a configfile for the text prediction so that it suypplies cues from the physical keyboard to another predictor for another language
Long-press individual keys for alternate letters, and there may be an app for converting the physical keyboard, but it will almost invariably require root. I would also try finding other nationalities who accomplished this and learn from them. -Ara
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
as the mapping using the virtual keyboard of AnySoftKeyboard supports physical keyboard mapping i mange to make it work only when i change the virtual keyboard to Hebrew first and then slide the keyboard out.
this is very inconvenience cos every time i want to change the language i need to close the keyboard and switch to virtual one, change the language and star over.
maybe there is a way to add input option via the power button? like using jkay deluxe or something?
I can tell, how this problem is solved in case of russian layout, but not sure, if it works for hebrew.
Root, then use an app, called Keyboard swither from market.
After that, I installed the special verison of Russian keyboard, that had a layout, compatible with glide.
This version can be downloaded from here
the problem with keyboard switcher is that he just put an icon on desktop.
if i'm using sms app i need to close it to use the switcher, so its not the solution i need.
thanks for the help tough, we need to find a way to make a shortcut via combination of keys
to achieve this, maybe a script for int.d that can apply shortcut function on physical keyboard.

Oops, sorry, i've named the wrong app, its called Keyboard manager (com.ne0fhykLabs.android.utility.kmLauncher).
How it works: it sets 3 types of keyboard for every device status - landscape, portrait, and the slide out one.
So, if you set the apropriate keyboard with a right layout and ability to swith languages via alt+space (like russian keyboard), you can use your HW keyboard with right char set (the software keyboard itself is hidden in this state).

Yep, it does. I use it at ICS rom with no problems.
anysoftkeyboard doesnt work for arabic
Thank you for sharing this, this method is great! it works for me with bulgarian keyboard but it doesn't with arabic.
Is there anyway I can use the physical keyboard to type in arabic?
are you on ICS or JB? cos if you are with stcok GB you wont have the arabic fonts.

I'm on ICS, I tried go keyboard with the same method it worked but its showing lots of non Arabic letters, probably Farsi or Urdu I guess, I'm still looking for another keyboard with physical support, I just looked at the language packs of AnySoftKeyboard, they say that they support physical keyboard mapping for Hebrew and Russian and probably other languages but not Arabic
If you know any other keyboards with multi-language physical support please share.
you should try it with anysoftkeyboard anyhow maybe it will work.
unfourtantly i don't know about other keybaord that support mapping of physical keybaord escpasly our right to left languages.
I have installed CM7 as a ROM atm. It's possible to switch input language for word suggestions etc. The problem is it also switches the keyboard layout to qwerty when I set it to english, but I'm really used to qwertz. So does anyone know if it's possible to have the english dictionary/input language with a keyboard layout of qwertz?
Common ppl someone must know this :S I'd be really grateful :good:
