[Q] Dictionaries for Auto-Correction with AOSP Keyboard - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
On an AOKP rom in Settings > Language & input > Android keyboard settings > Add-on dictionaries.
I can choose to install a Dutch dictionary. It downloads something, and says "installed".
However it doesn't do anything, the keyboard only auto-corrects words found in my contacts, so there is probably no, or an empty dictionary downloaded.
The pre-installed English dictionary works fine.
I really like the way auto-correction works on ICS, with the red underline to correct a word.
I'm using ICS keyboard from the market at the moment.
But I would really like to use the stock/built-in keyboard in my own language, because of the correction method.
Does anybody know a fix?
Does it work for Galaxy Nexus in dutch? Maybe we could port something.
Does anyone know where the dictionaries are downloaded from?
Where are they installed and what kind of file is it?
I really hope someone could give me some insight. I've Googled a bit and couldn't find anything.
Cheers,
Daan
edit:
Okay, I installed a stock Galaxy Nexus LatinIME.apk, works fine for now.
I should notice though that the spelling-checker does not work in dutch.
Auto-correct and spelling-check are two different things.
The first corrects mistakes while typing, the second underlines a mistyped word in red. So you can choose to correct it by clicking on it.
Spell-checker supports English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Greek.
Auto-correct supports a lot of languages.

Guide to change OS language in 1-2-3

Guys, girls
Don't know if anyone have posted this yet, but here it goes.
It seems that there are many languages preinstalled in the OS, just not activated. In a simple procedure, i changed my OS language and got the dictionary of my native language (
T9 norwegian if anyone wonders), and it works with everything from widgets, settings blablabla..
I found this trick at
http://www.swedroid.se/forum/showpost.php?p=18162&postcount=32
For those of you that don't understand swedish, it goes as follows:
Download CustomLocale.apk from here: http://yochai.dyndns.org:8888/android/apps/CustomLocale.apk
*Edit, uploaded to another mirror: HERE
Then copy it to your sdcard. Use a apk installer to install the program. Then launch the app, choose your language, and quit.
Voila
No rooting etc.
Some have responded that some of the languages dont work. This swedish guy didnt manage to get his sv_SE language to work. He then just manually entered a new locale "sv", and then it worked. Might happen for ur country aswell (?).
Edit: Languages that reportedly works _with_ keyboard layout:
Norwegian Bokmål: nb
Swedish: sv
Spanish: ES
cheers
Wow, I'm superinterested in this. I have a Dutch Hero and I wanted the Spanish Keyboard. Tiddylicious, can you confirm that this provides the HTC autocorrection dictionaries and not only the keyboard layout?
By the way, the link to the download seems to be down...
Norwegian autocorrection works. Don't know how it is for other languages sry, so i guess u just have to test.
Let me know
I've tried and it hasn't worked for me :-(
The phone OS indeed changed to Spanish. Every menu and option are now in Spanish, except what I wanted the keyboard language. This still lets me only chose among the default installed ones. Any help?
EDIT:
It worked!!! Thanks man! You don't imagine how grateful I'm for this. I've been using the keyboard until now without the prediction and correction features, such an improvement now.
There were two options for Spanish es_ES and ES only. The second one did the trick.
Does it work on Magic?
No idea, sorry. It worked for me on the Hero, don't know if it will on the Magic.
It does.
The application was created in July.
I`ve bought my english version Hero in Norway about 1 week ago. , My OS is in english, but my T9 is in norwegian . , Changed from the keyboard settings.
Will this change anything else? .
Biggest problem is that prediction with words containing æøå by only tapping "a" and" o" where it should be ( not holding them to slide to the correct letter) are only done in landscape . In portrait these word options dont come . Will this change?
Thanx.
Rui-Cruz:
The landscape problem with a o -> å æ is not solved by this. As I been told, this is reported to htc. Lets hope the major update will solve this. Quite annoying...
Stilghar: Good to hear! As the swedish guy reported, sometimes there are different options for same country region.
If people from other areas get the keyboard and the os to work, let me know, ill update the first post
Does anyone know who has developed Custom Locale.apk??
I want to ask that person whether it is possible to edit the language text, as it - at least in Danish - contains A LOT of mistranslations.
Thank you.

The CustomLocale changes only the locale. The individual applications come with support for other languages (or not), and they decide which language to display based on the locale setting. The CustomLocale.apk does not contain any translations by itself.
I'm still looking for German text input support. My english Hero only supports English, French, Italian, and Spanish keyboard languages. Changing the locale changes the names of the languages to the German equivalent (as expected), but does not add any languages to choose from.... Presumably the Hero sold in Germany supports German text input!?!
But there must be some xml files in the core system that specify the actual interface text... or am I wrong??

I tried the Greek language but didn't work...
Nice try though...
get the standard 2.73.405.5 ROM from modaco...that includes greek built in.
Got a HTC hero about 2 weeks ago, english language ofc. However i live in sweden, so im wondering: Will this change my whole phone into swedish? or just my T9 keyboard correction?
Because i rly dont want to have my phone in swedish, I prefer english on my electronics, feels much better IMO
It will change the entire OS, icluded the t9. If I understand u correctly, u want it in english, with swedish T9?

Exactly what i want .
I dont acculy know why I prefer english though.. its probably because I feel like it is more correct and easyer to understand in english, just makes more sence... but i guess, if it is as it says, that the other languages are already in the phone, its translated by HTC, so i should probably have nothing to worryabout anything being wrong...
I have en_GB locale. Tried russian(ru_RU), works! But, I want to have an english locale with english keyboard and also with russian keyboard. Ideas how to do it?

Is yours an official Hero ROM? If so how did you get Russian to work? I am with nofowuw on this, I prefer my electronic in English but English-transliterated Russian looks awful and takes more characters to boot. I checked around, but still can't seem to find any app to allow Cyrillic input (I can live w/o T9, just give me the damn keyboard).

[SOLVED] Language setting on XT860/workaround for Navigon MN 3.6.2

On the XT860 there are only the language options English, French, Spanish and Portugese. (This is system language I am talking about. For messaging other languages fortunately are available.)
That is not a major problem except when apps like MN do not have an own language setting but use the system language instead. I do not mind the program itself being in English, but the English pronounciation of German street names is really irritating.
So, does anyone have an idea if it is somehow possible to change the system language on an XT860 to German?
Alternatively is there a way to make MN use another language than the system one? I know this last one has been asked many times (for different phones) and apparently nobody has found a solution yet. Maybe someone on here has good idea? Fiddling with the names of the sound files (IE renaming them did not yield any results for me.)
use morelocale 2 from the market
Thanks, that was easier than expected.
At first I thought it wasn't working, but after a reboot all is well.
Phone now has a strange mixture of German for some menus and the default English for most other but I guess you can't have it all.

[Q] Additional dictionary on stock CM7 keyboard

Hi guys,
Does anyone know how to add additional dictionaries (I'm interested in the Romanian dictionary but this could apply to others as well) to the standard GB Keyboard in the CM7? I know it has something to do with modifying the LatinIME.apk main.dict file or something similar, though I can't seem to locate a valid file that would contain the romanian words. Can anyone share some thoughts on this? Thanks!
Tri Swype it definately has Romanian. If you dont like the swyping switch of and still have nicer keyboard and languages support.
Just register on theyr site

Swype is nice and does have a Romanian dictionary, but I'm already a fan of the default GB keyboard. Anyone knows how I can get myself a dictionary for the default keyboard?

Dictionaries for AOSP keyboard

Hi there!
Been searching around the web for a few hours now, trying to find a answer to this
The Android AOSP keyboard only contains English, Duch, Spanish, French, Italian and Polish dictionaries. Previously, I've just switched over to Google Keyboard whenever I flashed a new ROM. Now though, I would really like to start using the AOSP keyboard that comes with most roms.
The problem is that I need a Norwegian dictionary. Been through the settings from start to finish, as well as combing the net, looking for a way. I am running Euphoria 1.1, but most of what I find Is JellyBean and some KitKat.
I want to know if it is possible to add additional languages to the dictionary in the AOSP keyboard? I do not want to switch over to 3rd party keyboards or the Google keyboard.
Thanks!

Settings, Language and Input, Android Keyboard (AOSP), Languages, Norwegian Bokmal?
I don't know if that's the exact Norwegian dictionary you need?

Nah, I can choose the Norwegian layout, no problem. It is the dictionary for autocorrect and spell checking that's not downloading.

Note 9 Exynos problem with smart select and convert to text

Hi to everyone... Im having a problem when I'm trying to convert to text from smart select.... It working great if the text is in English language but it messing up everything when it in Greek language... The real problem is that it working great with every other user here in Greece with Greek language except of me...
I don't know what it causing it... Anyone has any idea yo solve this problem?

I tried to extract the text and it came far worse than yours, which was expected. Other Greek users are they also using Note?
I also tried translate feature but have all languages except Greek as a source lang.

Yes they all using Note 9....
The translate in s pen shortcuts it only gives you the ability to translate any language to Greek but not Greek language to anything else
So after several tests i found out that the extract text from Greek language working great with Samsung internet browser and only from text selection and not text from a photo....Its not working from any other app, social media or any other browser like opera browser that im using
English language working great everywhere, even from photographs...
Another problem i found is the translate option from s pen shortcuts...
It can translate every language to Greek but can't translate Greek to any other language... That's annoying....
Bummer. Need Greek as source to
Any solution???
