General :: How To Add Another Add-on Dictionary
Nov 27, 2011
From what I understood back before ICS there was no way to add another input language dictionary to an already compiled version of android on a phone. So most keyboards with multilingual support have separate language packs which can be downloaded optionally. However, this means you had to choose to use a keyboard other than the built in Android keyboard.
Now that ICS is out I flashed it on my Nexus S and noticed there are add-on dictionaries in the Language & input setting in Android Keyboard under "Keyboard & Input Methods" (click the 3 sliders to your right) and then towards the bottom under "Text correction" clicking on add-on dictionaries brings up a page with all available. Some are installed and some can be installed. Unfortunately none with the language I want.
how do I add another add-on dictionary and has this issue been fixed in the new Android ICS 4.0?Here is some additional info I found over the months of FroYo and GB input language dictionary issue: URL...

I got the Galaxy s4 yesterday. I'm going crazy just trying to add word to the dictionary. I can't even get it to spell my own name. It does not have the "personal dictionary" option under "language and input" that I am used to. I took it to Best Buy and three separate techs there played with it and they could not figure it out either.
How do I add words?

Is there any way to edit system [not user's] dictionary?? Android keyboard is suggesting me a lot of misspelled words (my lang is pt-br) and those words were never typed by me. An example of this (I don't know why but still I'm giving one) is the word "no" in portuguese: "no". It is giving me "no".

There are some words they I never use that always autocorrect when I'm typing. Like instead of "K.", I usually get "k.d.lang". Sensation.

Any way to delete a word out of your personal dictionary that came with the phone? I want to delete a name, because my wife spells her name differently. So every time I use speech to text, it spells her name incorrectly.

I'm running Ginger Villain 3.3 (16-10) on a HTC desire and I've had some rather odd incidents with the Danish dictionary.
Is it possible to update it to a working version? EG:
I tried to write "spiser" (eat) but it suggested "spiser r" (Sophagus)
When I wrote "klokken" (at) it suggested klokkesl t" (time)
It changes simple every day words into complicated - rarely used words.

I recently rooted my Galaxy Nexus (LTE) and flashed it to 4.0.4 stock. After I did this nearly everything that I typed would be underlined as incorrectly spelled. It seems to me that there is no dictionary for the spell check to use.

Hey guys I was curious if there was a way to delete the custom dictionary from my HTC EVO. I have accidentally added words in there that I misspell all the time and now have to go back and manually fix them.

I am attempting to do an IME and am wondering the best way to use the main dictionary for the suggestions to work? Using the User Dictionary is pretty straight forward, but I am not sure how to use the main dictionary. The System IME appears to use BinaryDictionary and a native method to do this? Can I piggy back on this or must I create my own implementation?

I had a G1 for a while and never had problems adding words to the T9 dictionary. Now i have a HTC Hero and can't find any way of adding words to the phone keypad T9 dictionary. I used to start a word, then click the drop down arrow, then press "add word", but it appears that this option is non-existent on the Hero. Is this because i was using the "Chinese imput" input option or have they just moved this on the Hero.

An ebook reader app that has an integrated (or anyway a very handy) dictionary or translation feature.
I'm tired of switching app and type the word when i should just hold on a word to directly access its meaning.

I have about a million words that need correcting in my Custom Dictionary but editing the damn thing is nearly impossible. Why can't they implement a way for us to make multiple selections instead of scrolling us all the way back to the top of the list upon deleting an entry? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

My mind has just been blown. I consider myself a fairly careful and exploratory user of most things, and Android is no exception - I'd like to think of knowing most its functions, and when people make posts in this forum, I do tend to already know them. But no - my mind was just blown with something so simply that I'm sure i'm behind the curve here. It always annoyed me how difficult it was to add a word to the dictionary for prediciton? Or, not difficult, but time consuming, going into the settings, text and locale, diction, add. The other day I had a moment of brilliance when I realised that long-holding the text box after typing in a word brought up the option (right at the bottom of the list) to add it to the dictionary. This was faster, but still a bit annoying because it took a second to load the dictionary, then you had to click "Add" again. I just realised, however, that if you long-hold a word itself in the text entry box, it just adds it. It comes up saying "saved" and bam, it's done.

I have words in my dictionary that I want to remove, like "git". I checked my user dictionary but its not there. Can anyone else point me to where I can remove this entry? Also, when typing "Yahoo", the suggestions have a bunch of Asian characters next to "Yahoo". Does anyone know how to fix this?

I am currently learning to develop Android applications, and to do this I have decided to develop a dictionary application. The UI, and search facilities are no problem to implement, but my question is, what is the best way to store the entries and definitions for the dictionary? Would XML be the best approach? I would be looking to include 500 - 1000 entries.

I've got a dictionary.com app on my phone, cant remember if I downloaded it or if it came with the phone and as such not sure if everyone has it or not. Basically it gives me a widget which I had on my 7th homescreen that gives me a 'word of the day' each day which I quite liked. Since I upgraded to Froyo, the widget isn't working, it keeps force closing but the main app itself works.

I'm using the regular messaging app and I'm just wondering if there's a way to delete words from the dictionary. I tend to save words that aren't words, and it's gotten to the point where the phone picks the wrong words over the right words.

I'm wondering how to add words to the dictionary (aside from going into menu>settings>language & keyboard) like I used to be able to with my droid. If i was texting along and came to a word that wasn't in the dictionary, I could just long press and then select "add to dictionary". Well this phone doesn't have that option and so I'm wondering if I'm just missing it or what..?
