Note: I originally posted this in the developers forum but now I think this is probably a more appropriate place for this topic.
My question basically is why are there no native international input soft keyboards in Android 1.5r2? I tested this in the emulator by changing my Locale to Chinese. I got all the text in Chinese just as expected. Then I clicked on the google search box expecting a Chinese keyboard to appear but only the English keyboard appeared. I tried changing my locale to different languages like korean and Japanese and still the English keyboard keeps showing up. Am I doing something wrong or am I just plain stupid? Please somebody tell me (only if I'm doing something wrong). Has anybody been able to get keyboards in other languages to work? They are selling this phones in other countries right? How are they supporting input in other languages like Chinese, Japanese, German, Spanish, Portuguese, etc. etc.? This is bad, really bad. I need to write an app that allows a user to enter text in multiple languages. And please don't tell me that I can implement my own keyboard. There is no freaking way I'm implementing 50 different keyboards. It would just be plain stupid. This is something that has to be supported natively. I know, there are some third party keyboards out there but I think it is a really bad idea to ask the user to go searching the web out there for some 50 keyboards. And having a dependency on another developer is just a bad idea. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
