I find myself not using it much because of my keyboard.
I was having to translate English into Chinese.
Just wondering if there was an easy way to switch keyboards or how you guys deal with it.
SwiftKey has the ability to switch between as many languages as you want.

how to get chinese input in android? I am new to android.
I just downloaded google input IME from market place and installed, it is enabled in settings(languages), but keyboard did not change in messages and browser input. why?
any other apps will work?
The default way to change input method has been changed in ICS. Instead of long pressing at any text entry field, In ICS you will see a small keyboard icon in the left corner from the status bar when the keyboard shows up, then you can pull the status bar down and change the input method from there.
Google Pinyin IME is average. Some better options are sogou input and touchpal input. Sogou does not support ICS at this moment. But touchpal V5 works flawlessly.
I actually set default keybord to google pinyin, but then I cannot enable default english keyboard. what if I want to try other chinese keyboard? is there a way to enable multiple keyboard?
What if I want stock ICS keyboard to have Chinese? Any way I can do that?
I really like the stock keyboard and I don't want to use third party keyboard if at all possible
Also looking for this option....Surely there must be a way to switch to hand written chinese input via the stock ICS keyboard right ??? I realise that 3rd party apps are available but they are all terrible IMHO. Looking for something similar to how iPhone handles Chinese input....any ideas / suggestions ?
i'm using penpower, it not made for ics, as the writing pad does not fit the whole bottom half of the screen, but it works.
updated, just installed the ics version.
google voice input is the best. i use HK traditional.

touchpal is good too. they got chinese pack and handwriting pack.
go to System Setting > Language & keyboard > System Language. Then, scroll down and check PinYin option. You can choose handwriting too.
Later, when you're at a text box you will can toggle between English and Chinese using a "EN" key at left side of your spacebar.

Chinese Input on Kindle Fire
Anybody know which Chinese IME works for Kindle Fire. I root it successfully. Try to install Google PinYin, but it say not compatible with your device. The download button even not available.
Thanks
Hi, I'm looking for an option to install chinese input + handwriting to my Galaxy Nexus, I know I can download third market apps, but if possible I want the stock keyboard, so it won't be a hassle to switch between keyboards
Maybe something like a language pack?
Anyone know how to set Japanese input for the keyboard? I want to be able to write Japanese. I've searched around the web and I heard that only Japanese version of the Note 2 has this option. Is this true?
The additional keyboard language packs don't have Japanese as a language option for some reason.
Swype has a Japanese language pack.
I just use the google japanese (google japanese input beta) keyboard for japanese.
Thanks for the tips. I'm actually looking for something where I can write Japanese Kanji and having the keyboard recognize the words. This is mainly for Japanese-English dictionaries with handwriting recognition. I can use the Chinese input pack, but there are still some differences between the Chinese characters and the Japanese Kanji.
If you just need to look up specific characters you could use either kanji recognizer or wwwjdic, both have handwriting input.

Ah excellent! This sounds exactly like what I am looking for. I'm gonna go try it out. Thanks!
I see Japanese as an option in the handwriting language list, but not in the keyboard list. If it's not listed in the keyboard list I can't actually select it while using the handwriting keyboard (which seems rather broken to me). Anyone know how to get this going?

I'm not sure if this is what you want - try Google Japanese Input.
After install, you can enable them in your Settings > Language and input.
Google Translate does japanese handwriting rocognition too.
you need the keyboard and libs from a Japanese ROM. Japanese isn't intergrated into the Samsung keyboard. It has its own Samsung Japanese keyboard. There is another thread around that lists the stuff you need to extract from a Japanese ROM.
Else try third party like others suggested, Swype supports handwriting doesn't it as well?
does the amazon keyboard allows it?
i could not find it anywhere. and i am really liking the keyboard, if it wasn't for that flaw. I usually desperately need 2 different languages for any text entry to be useful. ideally 4.

Hi,
I've got the Fire Phone and I use 2 languages, Dutch and English.
Go to Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard language and download the language you want to use, you don't have to select it if it's not the default you want.
Then when using the keyboard, long-press the space bar to change the language
