Hello,
I own the French version of WP7.
Most of the time I'm typing my messages in French. Autocorrection works fine.
But for business purposes I also have to type my messages in English. Then WP7 will try to auto-correct my English words into French words, and messes everything.
That's crazy.
How can I have both French and English dictionaries ?
Select multiple keyboard languages in the settings. When done so, your virtual keyboard will show a regional button right of the spacebar. Changing keyboard layout will change the dictionary.
Thanks Tom for the tip.
That was quite easy. It didn't come to my mind to check in the general settings menu.

i need russian one. i have on-screen russian keyboard using pocketCM. but i need hardware one, cuz on screen is pretty bad, especially when i need to type a big volume of text. it just annoys me to use stylus (
I'm in the reverse of your situation: have russian and english and want pinyin.
You can try AEKMap (http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php), but it has side effect of disabling your OK key altogether.
By the way, can you just tell me in PM how did you get japanese layout and precisely how do you switch english/hiragana/katakana?

they say LetsJapanNo5.zip, but there is already LetsJapanNo6.zip. you can find it somewhere here on the forum, or i can send it to you, if you dont find it.
For those who still want it:
http://hn801.hkes.com/Data/SIP/CHS_IME_Q.zip adds Pinyin to any keyboard layout (which I changed to Russian). After that, you can toggle Russian <-> English by pressing the Tab/RU/whatever-you-have-to-the-left-of-Space and English <-> Chinese by tapping 英 and 拼 on Pinyin SIP.
For the software keyboard I have a wide selection of languages and I use Romanian. The layout is the standard QWERTY, but when I long-press some letters, I get access to a few special romanian characters (ă, â, ș, etc.).
The problem I have is with the hardware keyboard. I can only choose English and that's almost fine. I have all the special characters I need when I long-press the letters, but there is only one I miss ("ă" / "Ă"). This one I will get when long-pressing "a" on the software keyboard, but not on the hardware keyboard.
Is there any way to add more hadrware keyboard languages, or somehow edit/add characters to the English configuration? Or should I just send some "hate-mail" to HTC and wait a long time for a fix?
No ideas?
Do any of you have other language options for the hardware keyboard, while the actual keyboard is the standard qwerty?
There must be a way to "Add" more options for the languages of the hardware keyboard..
Anyone?

is it possible to remap physical keyboard ?
I couldn't find anything on this topic anywhere and I am posting this:
On my HTC One X I am using the original HTC keyboard with 2 languages which I switch between - English and Bulgarian.
The problem is when I want to use the voice typing option and dictate to the phone. It always chooses the English dictation language, no matter if I am pressing the voice typing button from the Bulgarian keyboard.
If I want to dictate in Bulgarian, I have to manually change the language from "select dictation language" dialog from English to Bulgarian every time!
I made different tries in the options:
1. Automatic - the phone chooses English even while using the Bulgarian keyboard
2. Non Automatic mode, but both English and Bulgarian languages checked in the selection list - chooses again only English
I suppose/expect that choosing Automatic mode for dictation language must check which keyboard is used at the moment and use the voice typing language matching the keyboard. At least other software I use do this.
Anybody has the same experience?
If anybody has an idea why it happens and how to fix this I would appreciate an advise and help.
Or may be I am doing something wrong in the settings and I hope to get directions. Thanks in advance!
Anybody?...

Actually it works very well when dictating in Bulgarian. I am using it and it works just as well as in English. I was amazed and pleasantly surprised.
I only need the device to change dictation language automatically according to which keyboard language is currently active. If English layout of the keyboard is active it means I am now typing in English. Therefore if/when I press the microphone (dictate) button it should offer me to dictate in English. If I am typing in Bulgarian it should offer me to dictate in Bulgarian.
same here
I took some time today and figured this out. Here's what I did.
1) Navigate to Seetings > Language & Keyboard > Google Voice Typing
2) Disable automatic and individually select each/all language(s) you want to use during voice typing (i.e. dictation)
3) When you go to dictate a text and after you click on the voice/microphone button, you will see the 'microphone in a circle' icon, right above that there is some text with a half arrow, i.e. "English (US)". Click on the half arrow and the languages you checked on step 2 are listed and available to select. Pick whichever one you want and start talking.
Also, a customer support rep had previously walked me through turning on "Personalized recognition" and installing the "Offline speech recognition" package for Spanish. That actually helped a lot with the accuracy of the voice-to-text typing and commands in English and Spanish.
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 have installed CM7 as a ROM atm. It's possible to switch input language for word suggestions etc. The problem is it also switches the keyboard layout to qwerty when I set it to english, but I'm really used to qwertz. So does anyone know if it's possible to have the english dictionary/input language with a keyboard layout of qwertz?
Common ppl someone must know this :S I'd be really grateful :good:
