HELP!!! - VIRTUAL KEYBOARD LAYOUT CHANGED to "AZERTY"(French) from "QWERTY"

HELP!!! - VIRTUAL KEYBOARD LAYOUT CHANGED to "AZERTY"(French) from "QWERTY"
CAN ANYONE HELP ME CHANGE MY VIRTUAL KEYBOARD BACK TO THE ENGLISH (QWERTY) RATHER THAN THE FRENCH (AZERTY) LAYOUT? Thank you in advance for your help and Merry Christmas!
Hi I have an ATT Tilt 2 and have recently encountered an issue with my virtual (onscreen) keyboard. I am not sure how nor exactly when the issue occurred but my virtual keyboard now has the FRENCH AZERTY keyboard layout rather than the normal QWERTY layout. The layout is now AZERTY :
# A and Q are swapped,
# Z and W are swapped,
# M is moved to the right of L (where colon/semicolon is on a US keyboard), etc.
Most of the characters are in the same place as the ENGLISH keyboard with virtually just the above exceptions.
WHAT I HAVE TRIED:
I have gone to SETTINGS > PERSONAL > INPUT > Input Method (Touch Input) > OPTIONS... button and I see there that the Language is FRENCH!
I have searched and have found no available method to change the LANGUAGE within the SETTINGS.
I have also used ADVANCED CONG. Utilizing the INPUT Selection. However ENGLISH was already the chosen option though the FRENCH LAYOUT is what is portrayed. I have tried changing the language to FRENCH then rebooting - then changing it back to ENGLISH then rebooting again. Nothing has worked.
Again I don't know what changed the layout or exactly when it changed. I believe the last few Software items I downloaded and installed prior to the change are:
DivX Player - SpooNotes -Diamond Tweak - Airscanner Antivirus -Airscanner Scheduler -Wolf's Translator - Irecway RushHour - Photoshop.com Mobile -Writer - and MPlayer .
CAN ANYONE HELP ME CHANGE MY VIRTUAL KEYBOARD BACK TO THE ENGLISH (QWERTY) RATHER THAN THE FRENCH (AZERTY) LAYOUT? Thank you in advance for your help and Merry Christmas!

When keyboard deployed, click the arrow next to the tiny keyboard onscreen. It will show you some options.
From the dropdown menu, select the second from top item (which should be "French" in your case) and choose English instead.

How to switch to Chinese handwriting on official Froyo ROM

Hi,
I upgraded to the official Froyo ROM. I see the options for the Chinese handwriting, but I can't find a way to switch to the Chinese handwriting mode.
Please help.

1. Ensure you are using HTC's stock keyboard, then only:
Press Menu, select settings > scroll down > select Language & keyboard > select Touch Input > select International keyboard > scroll all the way down > select 2nd last chinese word.
You're done!
You can configure simple chinese or traditional chinese in the Chinese Text Input option

If think he is talking about actually drawing the characters.

Hi,
The problem is that I can see that there are many different Chinese input options but the handwriting option is actually missing! Is this a know bug? Any workaround?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Any update on this? Really quite odd that the options are there yet one cannot select the handwriting keyboard.

It seems hand-writing only works in Contacts..

I have been looking for the Chinese handwriting option all over too.
In the Settings / Language & keyboard / Touch Input / Chinese Text input, there is a Handwriting options section.
Lets say I go back out and write a SMS, there is no way to select handwriting mode. I have already enabled all the Chinese input methods. However none of them gives access to handwriting.
Am I missing something? Or is the handwriting feature missing from this build?

Here what i have done to make touch input working:
Setting / Language & keyboard / Touch Input / International Keyboard / Tick English and PinYin and HandWriting (tick all the options except this one: stroke input)
and then make sure you have no other input method installed, at least if you have others installed, you can touch the input area on the screen until a window shows up that tells you to choose one of them

I got Chinese handwriting keyboard option now. It works exactly like the HTC Desire HD now. Chinese character recognition is extremely good. It is now available in MCCM's HD v2.0 Desire HD build. It got released when I wrote my previous message.
It can be found at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=856312
The build has some nice new features. It has a few minor issues like the default skins are missing. I always customise so that does not matter too much. It is still a battery hog. It does not seem too stable as it has rebooted back to WinMo twice so far. Overall, the build is still very nice.
Previously, I was using MDJ's v4.0 build of the Desire HD rom.

I have four chinese input options: zhuying, changjie, pinyin and bihua.
but none of them is handwriting... the "bihua" is for you to choose, not write on the screen...
Please help.
p/s: sorry for hijacking the Desire forum as my android is Desire based.

[Q] HTC ONE X voice type (dictation) languages auto change problem

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.

How to add languages to S-pen direct input?

I cannot get my Note to recognize Finnish writing in direct input popup window no matter what. Works fine on my Note 3 though.
There is the language indicator showing that it is set on English but the menu that opens by holding on it has no options for other languages even though I've enabled them from settings.
The real problem is that it simply wont accept characters åäö. On my Note 3 the Menu only has Finnish but even with that selected I can write English without issues (like now).
Where's the problem?

Try swiping left or right on the space bar to change the handwriting language. I have Greek enabled in addition to English so that I can write the necessary Greek characters for my scientific notes.

Is there no way to enable both languages at the same time?
Same for my SwiftKey Keyboard.

Under settings/control/languages&input, click the cog next to samsung keyboard. The next page should give the option to add input languages. Then when using handwriting input window, holding down the second item at the top lets you choose your newly loaded languages.
Max languages is 4 including english so if you're a true polyglot you're in for a lot of extra tapping :/
