Tried to make an Arabic layout but I keep getting empty spaces on the keyboard eventhough I saved the file as a unicode... I am not even sure if it will write form right to left

Did anyone try to create a Hebrew layout and get it to write form right to left ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] its right:
gr8 keyboard and very useful, if you can add the arabic language it will be more better for us.

Hebrew localization

i've made a small hebrew localization file for the keyboard and the contact manager. works fine on keyboard 0.4 and pocketcm 0.9.

just put the lang.ini file in the program files program files\pocketcm directory and the hebrew.layout in the program files/pcmkeyboard directory. for the keyboard, go to settings/input and change to hebrew.

I have been struggeling to make a decent swedish layout, but when I try to add åäö to the layout, the spacebar is getting very small and the letters is getting outside the screen area. Any help with this is appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
imho, that's not the good approach. 0.4 added the letter_associations, basically you can inform the keyboard that we you type a he should also look in the dictionary for word containing å or ä, this way, typing "gra" will be auto-corrected to "grå".

That doesn't mean you don't those key, but they can easily be added on another layout. And of course you'll need a proper dictionary, a google search for "word list [language name] frequency" often give good wordlist that you can reduce easily.

for more information about those settings, I invite you to read: http://pocketcm.com/phorum/read.php?14,1191

If you still have issue, please post layout, a description of what you want to achieve, etc...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JueLue:
Hello and thank you very much for your program.

I am from Germany and i have the following problems:

First: In German words are often connectet to one word.

Holz (=wood) + Verwertung (=usage) is written "Holzverwertung"

So of course not all combinations can be in the dictionary. The solution is:

First type "Holz" which is a known word, type SPACE to let the autocorrection do its work if nessesary, type BACKSPACE and then type "verwertung" which also is a known word.

But the result is not "Holzverwertung" but "HolzVerwertung" as the word Verwertung is written with a Capital "V" in the dictionary.

So my request would be:

Allways use small letters when there is no space between words, independent of what the writing is like in the dictionary

.

My second wish has something to do with the first one.

I'd like it very much to have a button to change the first letter of the last word from capital to small and versversa

. In German it the same word ist writen with a capital letter the one time and with a small one the other time, depending of the usage. The autocorrection of course uses the writing that is in the dictionary. So if you write the word completely correct, everything is ok, but when the autocorrection works, it will change the first letter in the way it is found in the dictionary (what can be wrong or right). Another solution (perhaps easyer to progarm) would be to have an option to "forbid" autocorrection to change to first letter of a word from small to capital or versversa.

My third wish would be to

make the "Arrows" available

. (At least <- and ->), to make corrections more easy.

The fourth thing is:

When I write a word that is not in the dictionary, and the autocorrection finds a word that is near to it, there is no way to add the word to the dictionary or even enter it. The autocorrection will allways change it.

For example: I write the (correct) word "Bescherung" which is not in the dictionary. When you type the last key, the red "+Bescherun" changes to green "beschreibt" which autocorrection finds in the dictionary and there is no chance to add "Bescherung" to the dictionary or even keep the "Bescherung" in the text. I think there should be a second line in the box, with "+Bescherung", so the word could be addes to the dictionary left in the text, as long as the user hasn't pressed SPACE.

I hope my english was good enough to make you understand my Problem. I know, this ist a specific german problem:( , but I think, its not so difficult to program:) .

Thanks again for your work

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Is there any rule about word combination?

Well, if I understand your concern correctly, you should make all the word lowercase in your dictionary. The way it's working (well should work ;)) is that it takes the casing of the dictionary, except if you type the first letter as capital. This way, if you type for instance "Flowrr", it will be replaced by "Flower" and not "flower". It doesn't work the other way of course, because if you type "quentin", the dictionary contains "Quentin" and the keyboard replace it with the capital letter (that make sense). So with all word lowercase, you'll have to put the right case of course (because the keyboard can't guess for you) but it shouldn't change it for you.

I'll think about it, however it will interract with WM suggestion and control behavior, it's hard to do without side effect.

Press your finger on the suggestion, and slide it down, find the right word, or the "+" word, and release. It will either replace with another or add your word to the dictionary.

Well not difficult, taking it this way, nothing is difficult, maintaining, debugging and supporting is quite hard, and also starting implementing culture specific stuff means supporting lot of different variation. However, based on my answer, I hope the current situation will be more usable for you. If not, it would help me if you could provide some sample of what's working and what's not, with which dictionary, because I don't know this language at all.

Ok. Here is a swedish layout. Not perfect but works. I also have a swedish dictionary if someone is interested.

Everytime that i set PocketCM as my default keyboard and softreset after this i canot use PocketCM anymore. need to remove and install again.

How fix this??

I have a sugestion,

When you type a word (in my case in Portuguese) like "Voce" the correct word is "Você" but the auto sugestion only show "Vice" because it dont understand the simbols like "é" "ê" as "e"

you understand?

But now the last row (with space and enter) doesn't show when i bring the keyboard up.

I did something wrong?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
edit: sorry my bad i understand wrong...

maybe you put more rows than the keyboard suport, you cannot forget that we have a limit for rows
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JueLue:
Thanks a lot for your fast answers...

They help me and I can of course live with your suggested solutions.

Just let me give some more comments:

Yes that would be a way. But especially in German its a great help, when the words in the dictionary are not all in lowercase, because many words have to start allways with capitals and its a great help if you don't have to care about it when writing...

So I thougt words like "HolzVerwertung" (Capital in the middle of the word) make no sense in any language and could be filtered out automatic...

The standard WM5-onscreen-Keyboard uses them as well?

OK, that works, thanks for the hint. Its not so easy for my fingers, I'll have to train it;)

Thanks a lot

how do we edit the .skin files? I really want to make some skins.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JueLue:
For the Germans out there...

Thank you Fracoon for the wordlist you fond, I tried the dict.txt and had some problems with it.

Many words are double (one starting with upper-case and the other with lower-case) also they where not in the actuall correct spelling (Things have changed in Germany with the ss and the ß...:rolleyes: ).

I played arround a bit with word and excel and I hope I got most of the bugs out of it. By the way about 700 words are gone, because they where just double or just one letter....

Unzip the file to your PocketCM-Folder.

Another hint:

Just add this line to your german.layout

letter_associations=aä,oö,uü,sß

You will then just have to type "a" instead of "ä" and the right word will be found in the dict.

Type just "hauser" and "Häuser" will be found...;)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gizhola:
I'm having the exact same issue. 0.3b and all previous versions installed with no issues. With 0.4, I'm getting the "Installation of PCMKeyboardEN-0.4.cab was unsuccessful."

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marisa4755:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] A_C:
Thanks tene. This keyboard looks very promising.

I just found a very minor bug:

When playing around the setting page, after a certain period, this page cannot be dismissed. I'm not sure is it because I'd tried the "pop-up" image quite often as I'm tailoring the skin.

I have a small request not sure is it possible:

For the "hold to display symbols shortcut" function, could the "pop-up" images also be displayed when hovering the symbol keys? The reason to have it because I've made the following skin... called iDream :)

Besides, I've attached the new English layout file for reference. I've tried to sequeeze as much as symbol keys on the third page.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
I'll look at it, however just a tip: replace one of the key with \0 in your letting, that's a key that bring the option dialog, no need to go trough menu.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] raymonds:
great work!

in the case when a green box appears, would it be possible for the word replacement (after tapping on the space bar or the green box) to be made instantaneously, rather than to see a "backspace" action for every letter of the word being removed?

this action takes some time that affects the typing process. one has to wait for the replacement to be done. for those who do not really look into what he is typing, the "lag" makes the ppc not recognize the letters being clicked right after, leading to typo errors.

thanks.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Seed123:
Man you're fast with the updates. Great work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LordDeath:
nice changes. :)

i use the touch skin and the german layout. i replaced the dict.txt with a german one from your forum. this works and while my device is english i can use these german word suggestions.

i deleted the french dictionary, the other layouts and leaved only the default and the touch skin.

installing over 0.4 did not work. (btw: this version indicates itself during the installation as 0.4, too) so i uninstalled it, softreseted, installed and reseted again. now it works.

with the touch skin is seems to have a little delay before the keyboard becomes visible. in the config the default skin is the fastest.

edit: what about a little undo button next to the return button? if i want to use the clipboard, the enter key is a bit difficult: i mark a text, hold enter and if i release it too fast, the selected gets lost. so an undo button would be nice :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_yellow:
Tene,

I like the new additions to the keyboard. but please work slower! I just installed 0.4 yesterday! ;)

Some comments about the new features..

1) the shiftlock has a small bug where to go back to lowercase characters, you have to "double tap" the shift key again. Makes more sense that only 1 tap should 'disable' the shiftlock. (sorta like how graffiti used to work, lower case -> One upper case -> caps lock -> back to lowercase)

As a side note, maybe it makes more sense if you enable shiftlock by holding down the shift key.

2) This functionality might work for symbols too, tap symbol to enter in only 1 symbol, double tap/hold to enter all symbols, tap again to get back to alphabet.

I guess this means keyboard_layout_1 is the "primary" keyboard and all other keyboards are secondary keyboards that have to be enabled via double tap/hold.

Anyways, I hope I made sense. thanks again for your hardwork and an awesome app

Good Keyboard app.

I'm so used to letter recognizer and found out that your app also faster when used with stylus.

BTW, can you put the "."(period) button in front as the letters instead of pressing the "123@?" button to get it.

I write a lot using my pda, so the have the "." in front would be better (IMHO).

All in all, really good app and keep up the good & wonderful job.
