Android :: Quick Change Input Language
Jun 29, 2009
I always configure the UI of my mobile phones with english. But I write sms in French, German, English & Spanish. Android does not seem to offer the possibility to quickly change the input language of the keyboard. It looks like UI language both determines keyboard layout and input language, which is EXTREMELY inconvenient for someone using several languages on a daily basis. Does it exist a workaround, an external app or a feature I oversaw to solve this MAJOR drawback?

I have got an app that i want input to only be allowed with english characters. I am using a EditText widget in a dialog box, but the user can freely change between english and chinese input. Just wondering if the virtual keyboard can be locked to english input only?

I was wondering if there was a way to add Japanese as an language input for the Android keyboard? By default, there is no option to add Japanese as a llanguage input, and all other keyboards that have it are either ugly, don't have ICS as an optional theme or just too much, I prefer the stock Android keyboard on ICS over anything else and I'm sure there are some of you that agree. It would be nice to have this and other possible languages as optional languages on this keyboard.

I live in Belgium, the Dutch part, and we use AZERTY keyboards here. My phone is in Dutch, but I could only choose "Dutch (The Netherlands)". In the Netherlands they speak dutch but use QUERTY. So, what I did was leave my phone in "Dutch (The Netherlands)", but I am using the French AZERTY keyboard.
The problem is, that the autocorrect now is also in French. When i typ a word the autocorrect shows a dutch suggestion, a french sugestion and an english suggestion. By default (pressing the spacebar) the phone chooses the French suggestion. Is there anyway to have an AZERTY keyboard and have the Dutch suggestion by default?

I find the full size keyboard keys too small so I've reverted to the Phone Keypad setting. The query is how do I select a letter when the next letter I want is on the same key (Eg. Letter m and o in quick succession). Without pausing or selecting it from the menu?

Just updated to 4.3. (Galaxy Note 2) All fine. Only one problem:
Lost Swedish as input language. (But English and Chinese still present.)
I choose add input language. It says tap to download (Swedish). The download progress bar appears but never starts to fill. Wait long. Finally it says "download failed".

i have a problem changing different input language. If i change from default English to Lithuanian, no Lithuanian symbols appear, everything stays as it was still in English. I tried changing to Russian, to see if it is just a bug with Lithuanian input, - Russian works fine. Perhaps there are some shortcuts for typing Lihuanian symbols that i don't know?

I'm using a Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7105
I used to use the Samsung Keyboard with English and the Chinese language input (downloaded in it's language settings).
But after a hard rest (My phone had recently updated itself to 4.3 with no change) I no longer have Chinese as a downloadable language.
WHY is this so annoying... Becuase if I use another keyboard that has chinese I can't swap between it and the Samsung Keyboard in Keyboard. The Samsung has to be selects in the phone setting and can't be selected as one of many keyboards.
The reason why I wish to use the Samsung keyboard is becuase of its great swipe input function. I have not found another keyboard that has swipe in English and Chinese input funtionality.
Which means I can never using any combo of keyboards swap easily from chinese to swipe english keyboard.
I think It has something to do with the locale version of the 4.3 android os. I heard that different locales have different downloadable language options. But why has mine sudenly changed!

I would like to change my region/language setting independently from the general LANGUAGE-SETTING in settings !!!
Ok that means i dont care about the language my apps will be displayed in as long as it is english "which should be in every rom.."
But i do care about the region they are set in... means when i start MIUI News/Weather (geniewidget.apk) I want to see News from Germany and temperature in Celsius..
When I play "who-becomes-rich" I want Euro for currency! and so on ...
Is there any way to set the region like that ? (build.prop or anything else..?)
Im using MIUI v4 with my G-Nex.

I am developing an Android App which communicated with a server. User can select a language of his choice at startup or during the App execution lifetime. After selecting the language, the corresponding XML file is downloaded from server according to language which will map the "Values" of Application strings according to that language. Can I do something like replacing the default Strings.xml which contains English names(Say by default) to the language selected by user. Better will be adding an XML file per language and referring it runtime directly.

Is it possible to change the language of an app programmatically while still using Android resources?
If not, is it possible to request a resource in an specific language?
I would like to let the user change the language of the app from the app.

I have a calculator type app that I've developed and it's on the Android Market. It uses two input-lines (EditText) and has always worked well until I updated my Nexus One to Android 2.2.
When I would touch the input line, the soft keypad would pop-up automatically, lift up the focused input line into view, and then I would type in my numbers...no problems. But when I updated to Android 2.2, the soft keypad doesn't lift the focused input line far enough and it's only half in view. Then when I scroll down to the next input line, it doesn't lift up either and it's only about 1/4 of the way into view. Another problem is that, sometimes, when I go back and forth between the two input lines and then try to enter numbers - the numbers don't appear but they do when I scroll left. Hard to explain exactly what is happening but something strange is going on there that didn't happen under my Android 2.1 and other lower versions.
I even tried to change some input line (EditText) statements in my code and also tried to change the way the soft keypad would 'pad' the view to the top but things still didn't work after I recompiled. (android:windowSoftInputMode and android:inputType)
I also wonder if they made the soft keypad in 2.2 a little bigger in height. Does anybody out there with 2.2 mess with an app that has input lines where their softkeypad has to move the input line up into view - does it work for you?

I am french but I use my phone in Italian because it's my second language and I spend lot's of my time there.
The only problem is that I would like to use Google Now in French because 90% of time I have a translate to Italian notification when I'm in France and when I search something in France through Google search I have a mix of french and Italian results which is a bit irritating because I have to change the "it" in "fr" at every search

I just bought an unlocked HTC Desire from Hong Kong. I haven't put a sim card in it yet as I'm waiting for my old plan to live out its contract, but I couldn't resist having a play with the Desire in the mean time Because I bought it from overseas I can only seem to set my default language as English and then in brackets many Asian country options, eg English (Thailand) and English (Singapore). This would be fine except it is becoming frustrating when typing because all of the predictive text etc has many Asian characters in it and I'm struggling to write accurately.I've tried turning off predictive text and 'check invalid sequence', but it doesnt seem to work? I also tried downloading the application 'more locale 2' which had english (australian) but it doesnt seem to affect the keyboard. Does anyone have any advice regarding how to change the initial language setting? Is there any chance that when I put an Australian sim card into it the language options will change?
