It's already implemented and working :) But I have to get a permission from the developer to use his libraries.

Use "extends English keyboard" layout. It will work just like you want :). But this layout is not available on Samsung devices for the moment.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] denominator77:
Changes in v2.13.0:

All keyboard layouts are available for Samsung devices now! (thanks to Heathcliff74 for WP7 Root Tools!)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Koki.v3:
Awesome, I only noticed one tiny "bug", well... it's not really a bug. In the czech layout when I tap&hold "o", it should only expand to "o" and "ó", like all the other letters, but it shows a lot more characters. No big deal though as "ó" is in that list as well, just an inconsistency :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] KingpinEX:
what other layouts are there?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] GeoJan:
Installed version 2.13.0 and tried Norwegian instead of German on my LG phone, the phone is running os version 7390 (latest update).

Patching registry… ok

Checking the current state… failed

I tried the Override button, but it gave me the same result. The send report opens Gmail but nothing seems to happen.

Any advice?

Thanks

Changes in v3.0:

The application now registers the keyboards in the system. So they are available under their own language switch.

It is possible to install several keyboards.

Version 3.x works on Samsung smartphones only. Other devices will be supported as soon as technically possible.

Persian(Farsi) keyboard i not found in v3.0??? where???
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] varavut:
Thank you. It very Awesome. please explain me Why some language not register in the system?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] denominator77:
Farsi is not recognized by Windows Phone 7. You will find it in "other keyboards - will be installed as Spanish (Honduras)" section.

Please be more specific.

I have HD2 WP7

I tried v3: doesn't even have arabic on the list of KB's

V1.2 can't install (registry keys doesn't correspond)

V1.3 can't install (registry keys doesn't correspond)

I tried in V1.2/1.3 to replace any other type but it doesn't work, also tried combined with EN.

Any help ?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] denominator77:
"other keyboards" section contains all languages that can't be installed into the system. WP7 just doesn't know these Locale IDs. So the only way is to install these languages with a known Locale ID.

v3: Arabic is in "other keyboards" section. But this version doesn't work on HTC yet.

v1.2 & v1.3: I don't know these versions :). Did you mean v2.12 and v2.13? Try to tap Override & Apply buttons. It should force the keyboard installation.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ananzeh:
first of all thank you so mmuch for your hard work

i just installed v3 on my samsung omnia7 the layout o the arabic keyboard installed ok but it should be from right to left and it type the latters separated where they should be connected to each other if i didnt press the space key
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] varavut:
Thank you very much.:) Can you give me the Method for check that WP7 know the Locale IDs or not?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] denominator77:
That is how WP7 supports Arabic language at the moment. I cannot fix it.

Try this in Visual Studio under debugging (it will not compile, so use Watch or QuickWatch):

new System.Globalization.CultureInfo(0x480A) - Spanish - Honduras

result: {es-HN}

new System.Globalization.CultureInfo(0x0401) - Arabic - Saudi Arabia

result: {System.PlatformNotSupportedException}

Issues with Samsung Omnia

Hi,

I tried the Hebrew keyboard with Samsung Omnia. After installing, I saw a Hebrew keyboard but glyphs were wrong (empty squares instead of characters). After a reboot, every time I tried to click something my phone rebooted. After disabling the spanish keyboard and rebooting phone went back to normal (more or less)...

Do you have any idea what could have caused this phenomenon?

I should not that my phone was "dev unlocked" in the official way... (e.g. I didn't jail-break it).

Thanks,

Zvi.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] sensboston:
Just in case: could you please try my implementation of Hebrew keyboard in UltiTran app? (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=927885 topic).

I forgot to unpatch before updating to the Samsung Update for WP. Now whenever I access the keyboard my phone freezes. If I go into the Native Keyboard app it tells me that the registry values doesn't match up with neither original or patched ones. Should I send the report to you? or can I just override it?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] denominator77:
Try to do the following steps:

Uncheck your keybord in the phone's settings.

Run my app and revert your keyboard. Override if needed.

Reboot the phone.

Run my app and apply your keyboard.

Reboot the phone.

It should fix the problem.

It's a known problem. You need to remove and then reapply the keyboard after upgrading to NoDo. Try the above steps.

No problem :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Calene:
Reverted back to stock keyboard just fine. I do however think that the values were changed in the Samsung Update. It's still telling me that the values don't match up. It was working fine in just Nodo.

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] kingjovius:
Hey denominator! I love what you're doing and hope I'm not pushing anything but you mentioned that a chinese keyboard wouldnt work because microsoft doesnt support IME.

Now i don't really understand what you mean by this and was hoping you might be able to explain but i was actually looking for maybe a korean keyboard and thought that maybe the situation with the chinese keyboard may be the same as the korean one.

Now, one thing i found was that one my phone, i found some korean text on a web page and easily copied and pasted it so i was wondering. Does that possibly lead to a solution?

Slovak keyboard

Hi!

Thank you for such a great keyboard app and it's version 3. Today I updated to version 3 and recreated Slovak keyboard from scratch. I based it on native EN-US layout and used only AlternateMappings functionality. This way I preserved auto capitalize functional and removed need of keyboard layout switching from left and right. The result is perfect Slovak keyboard for WP7. I have tested it on my Samsung Omnia 7 and will be glad to see it in your future versions included. As a bonus, this keyboard has included some foreign characters (like ě, ö, ř, ů, ü) which are common even in Slovak language. :)

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] light-blue:
it's great, but it shows RTL language vice versa,

if this problem solves too, it's the best app in its category, ;)

thanks man

:)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] denominator77:
Windows Phone 7 does support IME. But the current version does not include IME for east asian languages (or at least we don't know how to enable and configure it). The only IME available for the moment is a simple text typing: any key may produce a single character (or one of the alternative characters). The keyboard cannot convert a sequence of keys to a single character. So it isn't suitable for languages that have a huge number of characters.

The ability to display text in a particular language doesn't mean that there is ability to input text in that language.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] denominator77:
Did that happen after the NoDo update? In that case you need to revert the patch, restart the phone, and then reapply the keyboard. You should not experience crashes anymore.

Well, it's possible... if you figure out the structure of the dictionary files and spend time to produce the russian one :)

As a workaround you may add every new word into user's dictionary by tapping words in the input field.

I haven't seen a way to write into the registry with elevated priveleges on Dell phones. But I don't look through every Dell topic on this forum, so I might miss this information. Let me know if you have seen any usefull information.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] denominator77:
Version 3.0 doesn't support LG at the moment. You may use 2.x for now.

It depends on the layout you have installed. "Instead of Spanish" (or "Instead of German") layout can be activated by enabling Spanish (German) keyboard in the phone's settings and tapping the language switch key.

It's a problem of displaying the text, not the keyboard. Windows Phone 7 has partial support of RTL languages at the moment. For instance Internet Explorer is able to display RTL text properly (even in text input fields!).
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] denominator77:
I was just going to release a new version with functional autocapitalization for all latin-based languages :) I will include those foreign characters into the Slovak keyboard. Thanks for the suggestion!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] denominator77:
Changes in v3.1

All latin-based languages now have two layouts: QWERTY/QWERTZ - a standard layout, where all extra characters are available trough the long press; Extended QWERTY/QWERTZ - the old layout, where extra characters are available through the arrow keys.

QWERTY/QWERTZ layouts support all the features that did not work with the old layouts: automatic capitalization of the characters in the begining of a sentence; Caps Lock (double tap on the Shift key).

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] denominator77:
I believe Microsoft will implement it soon.

I don't think it's possible. Some WP7 UI elements support RTL properly, some do not. It's up to Microsoft to implement RTL for all UI elements.

Ok m8 ...thanks ..

2 more questions ..

I use you nice app for greek language ...its working great exept those 2 problems.

1. Caps letters are activated with single press on the arrow (not double press just one press) and stays on (capital letters until you press it again or press space.)

2. When i send sms with greek characters the sms is limited to 70 characters????

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] sensboston:
:D You people are nuts! Do you really think denominator77 is related somehow to SMS length limitation????? The total length of SMS is up to 160 characters (read - bytes), so Unicode message should be limited to 80 Unicode chars (encoded by 2 bytes for most European languages).
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ViEL:
Man in Greek when you type with capital letters you can type up to 160 characters... if you type non capital you can type up to 80 cgaracters... in this keyboard the caps lock in Greek language doesn't work... tha was the question ...

Is this some kind of joke ???

If you dont have a clue about it why you have once again jump in, like an ... (no i want write it)

You still dont have a clue for this ?? ...you just saw it somewhere and you repeting this here.

From the begining of smartphones all the Eastern Eur Lang (and others) in order to send 160 char sms (in caps letters ONLY)

must have some special tweeking in the keyboard driver..

But no you know better and ....we people are nuts???

Come'n man , dont comment in something you dont know.

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] sensboston:
First link in google: http://www.smsmac.com/help/discover/about-sms/unicode/

RTFM first before you blame someone... 160 national chars in caps - it's (possible) a provider tweak, but defenatelly not a keyboard driver and of course not a denominator77's freeware.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] denominator77:
It's a known limitation. You may use "Extends English keyboard" layouts to avoid this problem.

Update: "Extends English keyboard" layouts support proper Shift and Caps Lock functionality for latin-based languages only.

It seems Windows Phone 7 does not use GSM 7-bit alphabet for capital Greek characters and sends them in Unicode. So SMS is limited to 70 Unicode characters.

It is not related with the keyboard. It's a result how OS handles SMS text with non-latin characters.

One small hint: my application is not a keyboard :) It just provides the layouts for the original FingerKB application.

It means to use greeklish to send the message to avoid the 70 characters limitation per message.

The version 3.1 only works for Omnia? Or i can install it to my LG Optimus 7?

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] denominator77:
It doesn't make sense using this layout for languages with non-latin alphabet. This layout is a workaround for WP7 smartphones that don't have Spanish and German keyboards.

Native Keyboard v3 works on Samsung (Omnia and Focus) phones only. I cannot gain a required access to the registry on HTC and LG for the moment :(
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] jessenic:
I tried this, it worked like a charm on my pre-nodo Omnia7 until I restarted the phone. After restart when I tried to use the keyboard it just hung and the phone restarted.

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] x.iso:

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] denominator77:
Did you install any updates (NoDo, etc.) then?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] denominator77:
Just tried to restart my phone. I got the same problem with the keyboard. It seems that the problem was not related to the NoDo (or any other update), and it was triggered by the restarting after the update was applied.

I'll investigate the issue.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] x.iso:
I have initial 7004 OS witout updates, so yes it's not related to any update. Also after applying the keyboard I can reboot the phone and then use keyboard, so maybe the bug starts after first use of the keyboard (either English or installed one).

hebrew keyboard hangs the phone

Hi,

I have samsung focus and I'm trying to install the hebrew keyboard.

The installation fails (but if I override it installes).

When I'm using the keyboard it works great. But, after few days the keyboard hangs and the phone restarts. then everytime I'm using the keyboard the phone hangs and restarts. after I uninstall the spanish keyboard and install it again everything working again for a few days, until it hangs again...

A temporary workaround for v3.x

I'm still trying to find why this happens.

A temporary workaround: switch keyboard language to English before restarting your phone.

If you already got this problem, then do the following steps to fix the keyboard:

1. Disable (uncheck in the phone's settings) the keyboards that you have added with this application. That will switch the current keyboard language to English.

2. Reenable your keyboards.

3. Restart the phone.
