Hi guys =)
I recently bought a HTC desire Z (European Version).
Everything is perfect except I have problems with typing Chinese.
Actually, I can , of course, type in Chinese by activating the CHinese keyboard and then type with the touchscreen.
But the problem is that I can't type Chinese with the physical keyboard...It's always stuck in French/English.
Anyone has ideas on how to solve this ?
Thanks =)
But the physical keyboard doesn't have Chinese letters
FN + Space
@omarsalmin: We can use Pinyin as input method to write chinese characters
@n3ph thanks for your reply but I did try that too...
the problem is that I only have English and French available for the physical keyboard...
So it looks like I'm stuck...
Is there a way to add Chinese ?
You could try installing Google Pinyin IME from the market. It adds another keyboard to the phone
I have the same problem
Did you found a way to type chinese with the physical keyboard? I have the same problem.

Hi there,
I'm wondering if there's a way to change the prediction language for the hardware keyboard? I have my phone configured with English and French as the 2nd language, and it works great when using the touch keyboard since I can change language at the touch of a button.
But when I use the hardware keyboard, prediction is always in English. Is there a way to switch dictionary language for the hardware keyboard?
Thanks!
I have the same problem. Wonder if this is a bug...
Check out the fix by REDGLASSES in the DEVELOPMENT forum titled [FIX] STOCK KEYPAD UPDATE FOR CYANOGEN, or something like that. I'm sure French is in there,... give it a try.

Mine it's not a keyboard mapping problem but rather a problem with the prediction language.
I have the same problem :
I wanna have a French prediction, but I have just the English one...Unfortunately, my phone is in English/Italian...
Is there any solution now ?
Hi everyone, I am having a small problem with my HTC Desire Z. Its rooted, with Virtuos V.2.0.0 on it atm. Since I rooted it, I am encountering weird problem with my hardware keyboard. Since mobile was bought in Switzerland it comes with QWERTZ keyboard. My mobiles language settings are English(Switzerland). If I try to type something not only that Y and Z are swapped, most of secondary symbols are too. I tried pressing Fn and Space to change to German but there is only English under default languages and I cant find way to add additional languages in there.
HBoot version is:HBOOT-0.84.2000 (PC10***** )
Any thoughts or ideas?
PS
I found some other post which mentions Y <-> Z problem, but since I have other symbols swapped too, its not that much helpful to me
How do I change this from English? It's the default language and there are no other options to choose. I want to use Simplified Chinese with Pinyin input on the keyboard. The soft keyboard works fine, only the hardware keyboard has this problem.
I'd like to know it too. I'm using a DZ with stock rom and spanish hw keyboard, but I have only bthe english layout...

Well, this worked fine in my Windows Mobile phone. I could switch back and forth from English to Chinese on both soft or hard keyboards. But from reading around, I seem to find that the keyboard is locked to one language. What a dumb idea. Yet another stupid problem with my phone that shouldn't be a problem.
I'm using GO keyboard from the android market. You're able to download multiple language packs as well and Pinyin is working fine for me even on the physical keyboard.
Thanks for the advice, it works great. A bit of trouble to get Chinese working correctly, but it's fine now.
Glad to help. =D
Other keyboards that support language change via hardware keyboard are Smart Keyboard Pro and AnySoftKeyboard.
hello ,I have an Andromadus ROM(mimicry 1.3) installed with a french keyboard(AZERTY)
when I want to use my physical keyboard it's on QWERTY instead of AZERTY
can you help?
thanks.
Did you set your language as French (France) in system settings -> language?
And when using the physical keyboard, is the android stock input selected, or is SwiftKeys3 selected?
Reason I ask is because other users with French Desire-Z having shown their keyboard physically has a AZERTY layout, have not had any problems typing as expected on mimicry. Unless it's a weird beast of a english Desire-Z with the keys switched around.

Hello there. I'd like to use physical keyboard and mouse(with OTG) while I chatting or surfing with my phones, however I faced a problem at G3 while doing this. G3 doesn't support to Turkish characters(Ğ,Ü,Ç,Ö,Ş,ı) while using the physical keyboard. It already has Turkish language pack(LG Keyboard) and more keyboards which include our characters. Htc gives an option to physical keyboard like ''Choose input mode'' when it connected but LG Doesn't or I can't find it. Could you please help me how I switch the physical keyboard's language? Thanks..

I know that this an old post, but I got the same problem with my G2, and found the only solution (I guess). I had to download a app to change lay-out. Since I got a Logitech, there was no problems finding one. Might be far more difficult if you are using other manufacturer.
Unfortunately, I've got the same problem.
I can 'switch' languages with Ctrl + Space (or was it Shift + Space?), but the keyboard layout doesn't change (even though the language icon changes (DE -> EN -> FR in my case).
I hope they'll fix that when Android 5.1 comes out for the G3 (if it ever does).
No solutions to this?
