Dear Everybody,
At last week I made some research for make Central Europen keyboard available for everybody especially that every people who read XDA usually use tha latest UK ROM as the most fresh, always brand new system software. The UK ROM usually contain everything as the Android system in it is multilingual and has all features for almost everybody, but Samsung Keyboard (and sometimes Swype) is different a little bit from this aspect as these 1-2 softwares depend an your CSC settings. If you use UK ROM you will lose real multilingual keyboards, as for UK these are not really needed.
I'm in Hungary so I need real T9 with the latest ROM so... I made them
Based on Sztupy hints on deodexing the keyboards (lot of thanks for it!) and some research between the system files I got some practice so could make my original requests.
The solution:
On 2.1 (example in Galaxy S) the T9 was integrated the keyboard software itself, so when you deodexed the keyboard from one multilingual 2.1, after you deleted your current Sam's keyboard you could drop the deodexed one made a restart and everything was OK.
On 2.2 the T9 database is totally discrete in T9DB folder but need to use the correct deodexed keyboard software of course.
(You not realy need to backup your original or any ROM, etc, because you can rip all needed files in all situations from the corresponding .RFS files (factoryfs.rfs as that base system and cache.rfs as the CSC thingies))
As I have Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab also, after my research I made all available solution for myself and of course for you (on both device), if anybody wouldn't like to make it again.
This/my current keyboard files made from XWJM8 ROM (2.1) and XWJPI ROM (2.2) as the two latest Central European version, and safely usable with any JP* ROM.
Usage:
0, to safe use you need to swith onto any other keyboard and kill the Sam's one or make a restart. (This is not a real needed step, but for smooth switch this will help you to save yourself from some scary FC when you overwrite your system files...)
1, delete all your current keyboard files with adb or root explorer. The files:
/system/app/AxT9IME.apk
/system/app/AxT9IME.odex
/system/lib/libDHWR.so - lower or uppercase!
/system/lib/libXt9core.so
/system/T9DB - if available - just on 2.2 keyboard!
2, copy all my files into the system folders with the same logic.
/system/app/AxT9IME.apk
/system/lib/libDHWR.so
/system/lib/libXt9core.so
/system/T9DB - just on 2.2 keyboard!
3, for smooth and safe method set the permissions to 777 (rwrwrw)
4, restart your device just for safe.
5, try to set up your Sam's keyboard if there is no input language choices then just enable T9 and select UK as input langiugage, and restart again!
Wow, now you have almost all available T9 with latest Sam's keyboard in any ROM what you currently using.
Languages: (in 2.2, sorry but did not remeber about the 2.1 if anybody would like it...)
Bulgarian, Cestina, Dansk, Deutsch, Greek, English (UK), English (US), Espanol, Suomi, Francais, Hrvatski, Hungarian, Italiano, Nederlands, Norks, Polski, Portugues, Romana, Russia, Svenska, Turkice, ***, Slovenscina, Ukrainian, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Serbian
Happy new year!
(See my attachment as the keyboard itself!
XWJM8 - the almost latest 2.1
XWJPI - the latest 2.2)
Same things for Samsung Galaxy Tab also available here:

Good work!
I've really missed proper characters in the ROMs I've tried..
I am also looking for a missing language in Samsung keyboard.
I followed your steps and it looks like all went correctly, but as a result I have the option to change the languages, but my Bulgarian keyboard do not appear.
I am not sure if those files contain all internationalization data, as I installed the Gingerbread keyboard as well and got the same problem with it - there is Bulgarian to select, but does not appear once chosen.
I am recently trying Doc's ROMS with JPY base. Any idea?
Hi boyanovv!
I also tried this simple mod in order to get my native input language on SGS.
Had also the same problem, but after all it worked
Here is how I did (some parts may be useless, but maybe not):
Switched to Swype. Using Root Explorer moved .apk and 2 .so files, didn't had T9DB and .odex file. Uploaded modified files. Rebooted (didn't do 777). Went to settings, set input method to Samsung Keyboard. Disabled XT9, added my language to keyboard, didn't add English. Checked if it works, but didn't. Rebooted. Didn't work. Uploaded T9DB folder to /system/. Rebooted. Enabled XT9, set locale to English UK, removed all input languages. Rebooted. Added my needed languages and changed locale to US, disabled XT9. Rebooted. Worked, even russian
I used 2.2 files and I have DebusROM XXJPY.
regdude - thanx, gonna test your version.. atm I'm using the 2.1 keyboard, only I could get to work, but really preferred the 2.2.
Hi All,
Sorry for delay but I hadn't got free minutes in last days for gadgets, but refreshed the SGT pack with the latest and check this topic also. Without T9DB you will never get predictive dictionary of course but and as I tried to told you don't need .odex file as for usable for everybody I needed to deodex the keyboard software also. You just need that 4 things... The main .apk, the 2 .so and the needed dictionary files in /system/T9DB folder... with selected English and restarted device you need simply get those languages. I tried with not all but lot of them and the keys were correct and got dictionary also. Of course if you don't need you can use just those languages what you need not all but my pack contain lot of...
Hope everybody could use as I tested on 4 devices without problems. ( On Galaxy Tab I got some NEE files what missed from that ROM what I used for the multi pack, but over on it was everything OK. )
Bye...
thank you!

Same problem here.. I can set languages in settings.. but I can't slide the _ to change between the languages.. only a few are there. Another time I got it to work, my SMS got quite strange.. half my msgs got changed to Chinese, after I sent them, they were in Swedish on my phone, my girlfriend sent me some msgs back asking if I was joking with her.. lol
2.1 works, though I preferred the 2.2 T9 Keypad.
cant seem to get the 2.2 to work... or the keyboard works... but not the languages...

Same problem as me then. With the 2.1, I get at least Swedish, English and Croatian. However.. when I send SMS, sometimes half gets changed to Chinese(I don't see it, but my girlfriend was wondering what I was on when sending her texts in Chinese), I got no idea if it's the ROM or the keyboard that does it. Quite odd though.
After that I found the HTC_IME, it works quite well for me(girl don't get messages in Chinese anymore), but I still prefer the Samsung 2.2, if I could get it to work.

This did not work om my sgs i9000 with darkys 9.2. i did get to sealect the norwegian langue, but it did not work in 3x4 mode.
Thanks for this hint.

Tryed some other like greek or russian they are OK.

Hi! Can you enable all languages for Samsung Keyboard on Gingerbread 2.3.3???
I've installed this. Does T9 work. I enable it all everywhere and then try typing 843 on the t9 keypad and it doesn't change it to "the"
or any other word combo i try. Does it work for others. Maybe i'm missing something
you sure you enabled the correct keyboard?
English definitely should work, some of us that use other languages got problems, but English works for.
Also, another proper working T9 is the HTC_IME, you may wanna test it.

yea, I accidentally found it when I was trying to find a T9 keyboard for my HTC Tattoo, since it seems all devs like the gingerbread qwerty keyboard even on the low res 2.8", I tried on the Galaxy S and it worked perfect
Hey guys, my dad bought the t700 few days ago, and its impossible to change the language to russian. He doesnt understands english, and the only available languages are english and different asian languages...
I have the lollipop Saudi ROM (only cause it has latest changelist) and it seems to have Russian. I would suspect all XXU ROM to have Russian. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the list though. Because it's not written in ascii, it is sorted below all other languages

Is flashing a different region the only way to get access to other languages? Would I be able to get Norwegian on US tablet using the Cellular South rom?
You could add the desired language to the language.xml under system/csc/ but you need to have root access for that. Display and input languages can be added/enabled. For Russian you would have to add ru_RU for example.
I'm using Locale Pro app. You'll need to follow the instruction they have when u try to change language. Worked for me. At some point u will need to put yr tablet into the development mode by tapping on the Build number seven times.
