there is some guide or tips, links or somethings else for do that ?
i've seen that there is much languages, dutch also but not italian...why ?

i don't want annoing anymore, but please, i need some help, i want to do it myself without thief time to us..
thanks to all.
Hello bisat, whole italian users have this same problem.
There isn't any italian rom with wm6 working......it is so frustrating
I associate to his question.....how can we perform a new rom including italian language in the menu and also for inputs (like T9 )......which tools we have to work with? Please someone helps us because Htc doesn't...
only vodafone made a new updating rom, but it's only with wm5 edition
Before the "new" Vodafone rom (TEST ROM) you couldn't even find any Italian wm5 rom, right? And wm5 has been out for quite some time
So how can you expect NOW a pre-made wm6 rom in Italian language?
Until someone or we all contribute in translating (like germans are doing...see the relative thread) then you can only dream about it
But anyway... I don't know if its worth it anyway... I mean, it will take a lot of time and work and when we finish maybe wm6 will be released officially... in Italian.
So I suggest you to be happy of what you can test now about wm6 (which is a lot anyway)
If there's any possibility, the best is to create an Italian group for the translation to Italian language, just the same that the Deutch group is doing.
In every case, I give my complete disposition in this "hard" work.
Rgs.

You have only 3 post here and you are asking us to build something for you? And this will cost US OURS of coding? (or worst, days to explain to a noob how to code a rom )
We are thousands here and do you think nobody here has better things to do instead of explaining to a noob how to code a full language?
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=noob
Believe me, is faster and easier to learn how to use a TyTN in english than to learn how to code a national language!
You should be very young, is the only excuse!
Please insert the brain before starting writing! (and read at least for one month before startin asking again all over the xda-developers!) AMEN

Sergio caro, almeno avessi avuto l'accortezza di dire che e' troppo complicato da fare, sarebbe tutto chiuso qua, ok?
Vedo che l'arroganza abbonda in noi italiani, io per primo.
E soprattutto, vista la tua maleducazione, inseriscilo tu il cervello prima di parlare.
Sorry to tue others members, only a little mistake with sergiopi.
I notice that arrogance and diseducation in italian people, first of all me, are so excessive that i'm embaressed.
I asked an explanation...if someone told me that translete the WM6 rom in italy is too difficoult by a n00b, not would have been any problem!
So, sergiopi has insulted me, with his arrogance.
I have read all Hermes 6 threads in the past 2 weeks, so sergiopi, please insert YOU the brain before starting writing!
And since this is a public forum, i may ask or write all the times i want.
If i write or ask noob questions, moderators may ban me.
Stop, that's all folks.
Edited:
I DON'T ASK YOU TO WRITE SOMETHING FOR ME.
I simply ask if someone may explain me how i ONLY translate the rom.
It's too complicated? I will use my hermes with english OS.
Form you words, i notice that You are to young to write here.
This will be slightly OT but anyway...
I prefer to use English version of whatever software I am using. Personally I can not imagine working with phone in my language (never had any localized phone OS). Using an english version of WM6 will help you improve your english. If you are looking for input in your language - your hermes comes with great hardware keyboard - with little reg hack and edited sym.txt you will be able to input just about any symbol you might need. There may be a paid localization software in your language, try to find out. Good luck

Oh sure...you're right! Use it in english is a good try to improve my english!
About the keyboard and sms there's no problem, searched on wiky and solved all the problems..( a minor problem obviously, a visual problem! )
I use at work so much english that i'm bored of it! eheheh
I'd like to use my "games"..phone, ipod, car radio in my language, 'cause i love it so much!
No problem, i use it in english...i understand that it is a hard try for me, i'm only a n00b...but if someone told me directly, all this thread would be unnecessary..!
Perhaps,in this forum our poor n00b must be lucky and try to understand what certain senior members say.
No problem, i'll return to lurk this forum, avoiding to post to not irritate anyone!

I did not mean to discourage you in any way! This forum lives from people like you - those that are willing to actually create something. Do not get intimidated by some senior members.
Concerning English - I only noted my language preferrence for gadgets/computers (you can be sure I love my language too ). If you are still willing to start the project ask German gyus for tools/info. There has also been a Chinese version of WM6 floating around, try to ask that guy as well. Hopefully though there will be a localization included in a final version of WM6 or provided by a local operator.

Thank's, great, your job points out what I am trying to explain: always, before doing things like writing in a WM6 technical discussion "please explain to me how to write an Italian ROM...." , as he proudly said here, (and we have seen the results of this kind of messages in technical areas on jasjammin support to his Black 2.0 ROM) use search button! May be I was too "direct" but when is needed IS needed (quando ce vo' ce vo' )
The 3D on WM6 italian ROM otherwise is an important 3D were to collect all Italian Hermes developers. I am testing your tool on LVSW and on Black 2.0 (no keyboard version) and I believe it is an important tool for Italian customizzation of WM5-6 ROMs
i haven't got word !
i wanted to put in a team for make an italian crew, because 100 brains its better than one, but it is possible that the only things that we are good to make is a big flame ?
this is the reason for which we haven't got an italian rom...
we ever wait for the other works...
so, if somebody want to make something, like skyzzo...please contact me, maybe toghether me can make something goods.
p.s. somebody have got the InTheHand professional package ?
Hi,
I raised this question in another thread in this forum, but I think this deserves it's own thread, particularly for new users seeking a SIP for the Touch HD.
Could you please list other Keyboard / SIP's you are using with are WVGA compatible and support a DPAD ?
It's something I'm really struggling to find and I'm surprised there aren't any threads on it in this forum. I assume most of you are using the HTC standard one, but it would be good to hear recommendations (and perhaps your personalised skins) of other SIPs out there.
Thanks
Dark Knight
The fundamental problem here with SIP based DPads is that the phone isnt multi-touch so you cant do Up & Left at the same time for example. I am working on a G-Sensor based solution (see Virtual DPad thread) which works for some apps/games.
I can appreciate there may be a few applications that function better with multitouch with a DPAD. And it's probbably a standard need on games.
But how about just plain ole' Up/Down/Left/Right in an App.
Are there no other alternative SIP's out there ?
Touchpal have a virtual dpad and for my taste the best sip for Touch HD.

Hi DK, the app I use most frequently is Excel, so I wanted the same as you: a simple SIP with 4-way direction keys to navigate between cells. I tried all the keyboards out there and settled on Resco Keyboard Pro because it's skinnable. Link below has dozens of skins but I made my own in a couple of hours (based on ZoomBoard which is also pretty good) adding the arrow keys for Excel and my most frequently used punctuation for sms:

looks really great. can you post a link? because i can't find it on the resco-site.
Any chance you could place a cab of your skin? That's the best skin I've seen so far for the resco keyboard pro! I would love to have it!
Gotta say, since the recommendation in this thread, I've been loving TouchPal. It's very slick, looks very Manilla and supports additional functions with gestures (e.g. Press and Hold vs. Press and Drag Left / Right/ Up / Down).
However, my wifey was used to my old PocketCM keyboard, so I still want to use this SIP.
I've found that the standard PCM Keyboard in v0.21 scales well for WVGA. I'm seeking better skins for it though..

i too would be grateful if you could share your skin. i like resco, but need the virtual dpad.
I agree
no one wants to comment on the hd keyboard. I posted two replies on dutty's ROM series and one on Laurentius's thread. I just wanted to get a screen shot or some information on the keyboard. You know, one thing I saw is that Laurentius had a guy custom make EZinput in WVGA specifically for his ROM and they are not releasing to anyone I don't guess. But, I installed his ROM and didn't see any kind of good keyboard on it. I did see a blue "keyboard" but it sure wasn't wvga. Has anyone else installed either of these ROMs and experience something else? I really don't like the placement of the space bar in the landscape keyboard, otherwise i like the stock keyboard, i feel like the landscape keyboard could use the space a little better by placing the directional buttons on the bottom 4th row along with a newly placed space bar. I have tried PocketCM .14 with this skin I found. I think its for vga because it doesn't look too good and doesn't fill up the whole screen, its also grainy and doesn't have a dot on the keyboard, that is a very highly used button when you are using opera or txt, email or anything really. Ill post a screen shot of the landscape.
Guys,
I've been in conversation (over PM) with HTC Toucher. Hopefully, you'll be familiar with his many excellent Keyboard Designs.
I'm hoping he'll be able to develop something for PCM Keyboard v0.21+ in for the Touch HD (this version seems to have better support for WVGA).
I've pointed him to this thread and just hope he'll be able to develop something for us.
If a skin is released that skin is released that supports the Touch HD come out, please think about his efforts to do this just for us (he doesn't have a WVGA device) and consider donating to him.
Finger crossed!
Cheers,
Dark Knight
Thanks for this one! just downloaded and will test it hard core
updated
I found out that this pocketcm keybord and skin i found actually does have a way to use commas and periods from the main screen u just tap and hold the symbol buttons for a few of the most used symbols. although it doesnt have d pads, the ezinput does, I found out that the ezinput keyboard was the stock keyboard that I spoke of before. It does have dpads on both portrait and landscape. and its availble with most roms dutty and laurentius.
@blacksage - Could you post your skin here ?
I've messed around with the layout with 0.14 from yesteryear and I'm sure it would be possible to add DPAD to unused keys.
ive got a few things here
Ive attached the keyboard cab that I am using which is version .14, Ive tried the newer ones and I didn't get them to work nearly as well. I also attached a zip file containing three files. Two of them are .skin files to be placed in the program files/pcmkeyboard folder and the other one is a layout file that you should also put into the same folder program files/pcmkeyboard. You can try both skins with the standard default layout or change the layout from english to "eng most used" or something like that in pcm keyboard settings. I think I like them but, like you said you might be able to use that side space that is the difference between vga and wvga I believe. The main thing I like about it, is that the space bar is in the proper location. I think it could also use a little less vertical spacing to free up screen space in landscape. The alternate layout gives a period and comma on the main screen, I like that configuration better, but don't like the way that one sort of changes the layout of the keyboard in steps. Also I posted a screen shot of the landscape keyboard I had with Ezinput, just to make sure you have seen it. It has dpads in both portrait and landscape, kind of sounds like what everybody is after, just not me. I think it came stock with mine and also available with at least laurentius's ROM and maybe dutty's. Its nice for some, just not good for speed typists like me, lol. Also, I was thinking, you know the space that the pcm keyboard leaves out on the sides?, I'm not so sure that it would make a good place for standard typing keys, because of the weird stretch that you have to sort of do to get the the very edge of the touch screen while holding the device in landscape; sort of look at it and tell me what you guys think. I'm sure it would make a great place for dpads and other cool buttons! Let me know what you like and dislike and what you plan to do about it!

Sorry, but the link does not work...
Could you re-post please ?
Hello guys, I´m from Brazil and I´m experiencing some trouble using BA´s keyboard after upgrade to wm6.1.
Keyboard´s layout here is different, we use a lot of accents, like ãéúç and all of them just disapear after the upgrade, as well commas, points and other signals just changed places.
Sorry for the bad english... hope you can help me.
i am not an expert on this, since i am neither brazilian, nor have wm6.1 or use the hardware keyboard, so this is only a suggestion:
take a registry editor and go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale
that is probably set to 0409, try and set it to 0416, which is what i found to be the portuguese layout for brazil. you can also look up other layouts over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317240
where an argentinian person had a similar problem. it is a different device though, but i doubt that that would make a difference in the same os.
have fun

Hello Chef-Tony.
Thanks for the help but it´s not the same sollution for Wizard and BA.
I tried every other post's suggestions but they just doesn't work.
Let´s keep searching. If someone got something, please share...
I don't have the Touch Pro 2 yet but I am trying to help someone out to fix his issue.
Basically his problem is the suggested word feature doesn't work as well as the Original Touch Pro.
Here is his issue. If anybody could help I would greatly appreciate it.
The correct word "também" is correctly suggested if I type "tamb". So far, so good (although on Touch Pro I could type "tambem" and he would suggest "também" also). The problem is with small words like "olá", "não", "é", "há", "ás", etc...
The T9 only starts suggesting words after the third letter.
Does anyone know how to make the T9 start suggesting after the first typed letter? It would make things better, but it would not solve the problem. There are many words that are single lettered: "é", "à", "á", etc..

Maybe a registry setting? I don't have the TP2 so I am not able to browse the registry and find it but I figured you guys would be the best help for this issue. Thanks in advance.
Try this...
Dont know if its what you are after, but might be
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534126
hope this helps
I think most t9 starts after the third word because just by typing one letter, there are thousands of words that it can be. So when more letters are typed, it narrows down the selection in the dictionary. The only words that might show up quicker is if the TP2 actually stores newly added words into the dictionary.

Hi. I'm the one who wrote the quoted message
Thanks dfootball56!
Let me just add some more info: what madjsp wrote is indeed true. However, on Touch Pro, this never happened... If I typed "esta", the XT9 on Touch Pro would suggest "está", "esta", "estámos", etc... On TP2, "está" only is suggested if I type "est".
This is, if I type the full accented word (without the accent) it does not suggests the correctly accented word...
Hope I'm not being too much confusing...
Thanks for any help!
you've been clear enough! same problem here, very very annoying since in italian accented letters are very common too.. no solutions / hacks / tricks??
that would be great! thaks a lot!

Hey man. Figured these guys on here were the best resource of new hacks and tweaks. I'm sure someone will get bored and try to figure something out...haha If I had one now I would search the registry for you but it hasn't came out in the U.S yet
Update: I mailed HTC and they understood and acknowledged my problem. Just hope it was worth the "effort"...
I'm quoting all the mails:
Me: (...) already described the problem
HTC:"Hi Nuno,
The T9 dictionary does not include words with special characters. You can add these words manually, and they will be remembered next time you need them. On the onscreen keyboards, tapping and holding on the letter assosciated with the special character will display all the extra characters for that letter, and you can drag and select them.
Best REgads"
Me: "Hi. Thanks for the fast reply. I'm afraid I disagree with you: the T9 does include words with special characters. I've never added words like "está", "também", "já", and they are there. The problem is that even if I add the word "olá" to the diccionary (not needed because it is already there), the T9 will not suggest it because the suggestions only start after the third letter. I type "ola" and it does not suggests me "olá". However, the T9 of the 'old' Touch Pro that I've got does this correctly: I type "estariamos" -the full word - and it suggests me "estaríamos". On the Touch Pro 2, I would have to type "estar" so it could suggest me "estaríamos". Are understanding what the problem is? I hope I'm not being too confuse. Thanks."
HTC:"Hi Nuno,
I understand the issue now, I do not think I can resolve this for you now, I have forwarded details to our developers for investigation and possible resolution. Please monitor our support pages for fixes and updates in teh future, and I will be back in contact once I have further news for you.
Best Regards"
I then closed the "support case". I think there's nothing much I can do...
Nuno, did you recieve any reply from their side?
great job nuno, so basically we have to wait and pray for them to fix it in a rom update or hotfix... wtf

Yes, I did... you can see what they told me on my previous post.
Unfortunately we just have to wait for a hotfix...
at least they said they will do this hotfix.. it's a good start, now let's hope it doesn'take ages!
Today I found that the T9 word suggestion work's perfectly if I write the messages in portrait mode (without hard keyboard out) and with the "telephone numeric keys" selected...
This is indeed a bug somewhere on the T9 definitions...
Hi.
I worked out a solution!! ;D ;D ;D
I borrowed a Portuguese Touch Pro, copied the following files from \windows
eT9.HQD.kdb
eT9.SQR.Accented.kdb
et9.sqr.portuguese.kdb
eT9ime.dll
KbdNopAll.dll
and then placed them on the \windows folder of the Touch Pro 2
Reboot and DONE!
Good "old" XT9 with the correctly suggested words!!
I've placed the files here, in case someone needs it:
http://www.nunosilva.com.pt/nuno/outras/T9TouchPro.rar
Mind that this is for the Portuguese TP2; I don't know if there are differences from TP2 from other countries.
Thank you all for your help
Well... not that solved after all...
I found out that the Touch Pro has specific keys for these marks:
/ ? + = - _
Meaning: on the Touch Pro 2, I can't write them with the hard keyboard
I also found out that it is only necessary to replace the eT9ime.dll file; all the other are pointless as far as I figured out.
So, to put it back in it's original form, just re-replace the eT9ime.dll file.
Here is the link, in case someone forgot to backup the files before replace them with the files from the Touch Pro:
http://www.nunosilva.com.pt/nuno/outras/T9TouchPro2.rar
Because it is an .dll file I don't really know if it is editable in any way... is someone knows how to do it, please do tell me..
Thanks.
Hello,
as my old Xperia Pro gets slower and slower, I imported a LG Optimus F3Q from the US, as this phone isn't available in europe yet.
Now I came across an issues, which I cannot solve by myself. Maybe someone here has a good idea.
The physical keyboard is QWERTY. When I hold some keys longer, a window will pop up to give me the choice of additional characters (like long on u will give me an ü). That's fine, that way was it on the Xperia Pro as well.
Now, I am used to QWERTZ, which is common in Germany. When typing quickly, I will mess up with z and y a thousand times.
I can change the keyboard style to German/QWERTZ in the phone's settings. Z and Y will be at the place, where I am used to. Fine so far! But.... (there's always a but): No window will pop up, when pressing the keys a long time. Instead of a popup to select Ü, U will be written as long as I press the key (like this: uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu). That's quite anoying! I tried all the other keyboard layouts, none but the English/QWERTY keyboard will show the popup.
Is there any chance to get äöüßéè ect. with the QWERTZ layout? Do I have to press some special key same time as "U" for example? Or is some specific app available for this issue?
Any help is appreciated!
Cheers,

P.S.: I don't think, it's a specific F3Q issue, but for all phones with a physical keyboard. If someone found a solution for some othe phone, I will try it out!
Hello,
I haven't found a Qwertz-Keyboard-App that runs on my F3Q, but finally I got a solution: I found an App tp rearrange the keymap and simply switched Z und Y keys.
Still there is this popup-issue. When I hold a key longer, a popup will appear to give me the choice of accent letters (äöüßéè etc.). Still, the line of accent letters is not in the order I want them to.
So, is anybody out there, who can give me a hint, how to change the sequence of accent letters in the popup???
Cheers,

Hallo
As I'm a german guy too this is interesting for me as well.
Unfortunately my F3Q hasn't arrived yet but I would start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2804980
It is for the Samsung Captivate Glide device so it may or may not work for the LG F3Q but it is a startin point so I would give it a try.
Let me know if you had any success (or not)..
Greetings

Guten Abend xdajog,
well you can give starting aid for publishing it in Europe by using the US of a certain online aution site. That's what I did to get it to Nothern Germany. There are Canadian online sellers as well who will sell and ship to europe an unlocked F3Q.
Tanks for your hint, I will give it a try.

I've already bought it - no worry.
Its on the way over the ocean
To be honest it is the second one I bought. The first one is in use by my wife and the new one will be a development device only. I will try to port AOSP/CM to this device. Check out my signature for all the details

Still important
Hello fellow physical keyboard lovers,
I just received a nearly new (well, refurbished, but looks like new) LG Optimus F3Q. And, evidently, I too am interested in having a working QWERTZ keyboard and would welcome german localization.
Did you - over the time that has passed since - solve those questions or just change the mobile phone?
Youtube shows several videos of people allegedly running Nougat or Oreo on this mobile, but the links are either not working or have been removed due to (I assume) malware-spreading. Am I right in not believing this to be real?
F3Q is rooted, but nothing else has been altered so far.
I am currently using a Vernee Mars pro as "main" device, and was using an Elephone P8000 until recently.
