Languages and predictive texting

My n95 comes with a few languages (English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese...) pre-installed.
I'm living in the UK but I'm Belgian, speak fluent Dutch, French, English and some Portuguese. Obviously, Dutch is missing in the language list of my phone.
1.Is there a way to install the Dutch dictionary as well?
2.(probably I'm hoping too much now but hint hint for all you software writers)
Is there a way to have my phone predicting which language I'm using? It's a complete pain having to switch between languages manually.
Thanks

  • N82 Animated SMS and Predictive Text Problems

    I've just got a new N82 and think it's a great phone. I downloaded and installed the Animated SMS program from Nokia's software site and have a couple of problems! The first is that I've set my left direction shortcut to come up with a New Message, now it lists SMS, Email and MMS but no A-SMS, I have to go through the message icon in the main menu. The second problem is that when I open the A-SMS application up and I do use and like Predictive Texting, it doesn't work! Everytime I push a button to start texting nothing displays on the screen and SPELL comes up over the left softkey. Turn off Predictive Texting and it works, very annoying. Anyone else had any problems and anyone know a solution? Have contacted Nokia who haven't got back to me yet.

    you might want to try FA136050 here
    /t5/Software-Updates/Symbian-Anna-Troubleshooting/​td-p/1127953
    but i've always used the * button to scroll through options. once you move off the word it stops being a sequence of key presses and just becomes the letters as is.
    There's no dignity in begging for kudos. Do it for the karma.

  • Detect device language and change text field accordingly

    Im working in Flash Pro with AIR for Android.
    I have a single text field and would like to change the language in that text field to match the mobile devices language.
    How Can I detect the devices language and then change the textfield to match the language?

    import flash.system.Capabilities;
    switch (Capabilities.language)
        case "en" :
            TxtField.text = "LANGUAGE English"
            break;
        case "fr" :
            TxtField.text = "LANGUAGEFrench";
            break;
        case "es" :
            TxtField.text = "LANGUAGESpanish";
            break;
        default :
            TxtField.text = "Whatever.";
    //Use Capabilities.languages[0] for the country code. eg. en-US
    //switch (Capabilities.languages[0])
    //case "en-US" :
    //TxtField.text = "LANGUAGE English. American"
    //break;
    //case "en-GB" :
    //TxtField.text = "LANGUAGE English. Great Britain";
    //break;
    //default :
    //TxtField.text = "Whatever.";

  • Predictive texting ends mysteriously

    Predictive texting capability has ended 2x mysteriously.  The setting for predictive texting is ON, however the predictive texting capability disappears and texting behaves the old way without predictive texting enabled.  When I go to settings==>general==>keyboards, the 'predictive' IS enabled, however the predictive functionality mysteriously becomes disabled.  I had to slide the predictive setting to off and then on again to re-enable this.  Has anyone else experienced this problem similarly? It's happened 2x without any explanation.

    boyetik,
    You can't turn it off, but if you tap the (x) next to the suggestions, after 3 or so times, it will no longer make that suggestion.
    I live in a town that has a name derived from a spanish word, and predictive text suggested an instrument name to replace it. After a few times of tapping the (x) next to the suggestion, it no longer offers that suggestion.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • Predictive texting

    Although texting got a little better with iOS 8 it has
    relapsed with iOS 8.1.3. Why is texting so poor on an iPhone? It is so much better on a Droid. Who created the dictionary and predictive texting?  Some of the replacements it makes are absolutely crazy. And some words are corrected several words back so I have to back it all up and rewrite it. Isn't anyone else complaining?  Is everyone just complacent? Do iPhone users not know how truly bad texting is on an iphone compared to other operating systems?  I almost moved to Droid again before getting the iPhone 6 Plus but was told the texting was much better with the 6. So frustrating. Apple, please have someone else's brain redo predictive texting!  Whoever created it doesn't think like an other human.

  • How can i set predictive text to a foreign language

    I'm new to apple and iPhones. I've got everything setup in English but I frequently want to send text and/or email messages in French. When I do this predictive text jumps in and changes things to what it thinks I want in English. e.g. if I type tous it predicts I want toys and inserts it accordingly. How can I set predictive text to a foreign language.
    (p.s. my wife's iPad works fine as it has a button to press for alternative language but I don't see anything similar for iPhone)

    Add the French keyboard.
    Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards > Add > French

  • Suggestions - predictive text and text entry

    I don't know if this forum is intended for suggestions but here are a couple anyway.
    1. Because email and sms text do not operate in landscape mode the keyboard is very small. This leads to a large number of text entry errors compared to ther devices I have used. The screen sensitivity is excellent so this is ont a problem with using a touch device. Allowing landscape data entry would go a long wawy to solving this problem - the keyboard when used with safari in landscape mode is a lot better (perhaps 10% of the missed keys). An alternative which would be better for single handed use would be to ditch the qwerty layout and have a key pad that runs to 4 or 5 rows of keys instead of 3. In most cases it is only neccesary to see a single line of text entry so there is plenty of screen re-estate to do this.
    2. The predictive text feature on the iPhone is very poor. This is due to a fundamental error in its design. The current implementation assumes that the current word typed is complete but may be misspelled. To be more useful the feature needs to assume that the characters typed are correct and suggest complete words that start with the fragment available. The predictive text in Windows mobile is infinately better that that of the iPhone (and one of the few features I miss from my old phone!).
    If this is the wrong place for posting these suggestion - sorry

  • How to restore the languages in the input sources under 'Language and Text'

    Dear all,
    Recently, I am trying to free up my disk space on my macbook and I downloaded this software call Monolingual. Basically, it removes languages that you do not use to free up the disk space.
    However, I accidentally remove the language that I use which is Japanese and now it seems like I cannot find it anywhere under the input sources of language and text.
    Does anybody know how I can restore everything back to normal?
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers,
    Alfred

    I think you will have to reinstall your OS.    If you are running Yosemite, see
    OS X Yosemite: Reinstall OS X
    Best to avoid Monolingual and simlar "cleaning" utilties if possible, it is too easy to make mistakes that destroy parts of you system.
    Your problem has nothing to do with your hardware, so in the futue it would be best to use the software forums for similar questions:

  • My system preferences have suddenly disappeared! I have the language and text icon but that is the only icon that is displayed! where have my system preferences gone and how do i get them back??

    I went to my system preferences today and they are all gone except for my language and text icon! I have the language and text icon but that is the only icon that is displayed! where have my system preferences gone and how do i get them back??

    Double click on the picture of the HD on your desktop, then look at the bottom of the window that opens.
    First check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > in the panel at left, select the first item in the list/your HD mechanism > look atthe bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” or something more ominous like “Failing.”
    If S.M.A.R.T.status is "Verified," run Repair Disk: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar > open Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

  • My young kids have ipads and since I updated the software, but they have their own icloud account, predictive text within their messages shows all my contacts from my iphone but the contacts are not listed as their contacts, how do I stop this?

    My young kids have ipads and since I updated the software, but they have their own icloud account, predictive text within their messages shows all my contacts from my iphone but the contacts are not listed as their contacts, how do I stop this?

    I have deleted the iCloud account under my name on their iPads and replaced with their ones. Apple support said yesterday I needed to click the small 'I' by each name as it came up in the TO box and remove it. After doing rid for each contact under each letter of the alphabet it should remove them from latest contacts. Having done this, although I could not remove groups I had sent, I am not convinced they will not return once I have written a few texts, any ideas?

  • In system preferences - languages and text - the formatting of numbers does not respond, In system preferences - languages and text - the formatting of numbers does not respond

    When in system preferences, under languages and text, and within it in regions, there is a place where you can format numbers - or currencies by indicating that you want a dot in decimals and comma in thousands, for instance.  This is in order to format numbers in calculating sheets, either in numbers of excell.
    Since I have moved to Mountain Lion, this does not work.  However, with an apple advisor, we were able to determine that it is not a global problem, it seems to be a problem in my computer.  We found this out when we created a new administrator user as a test, and the formatting mentioned above works like a charm.
    Then we tried separating all my preferencies into a untitled folder restarted and got a set of new prefernces for my own user, and the formatting required did not work.
    Now I am - as you can see - quite stumped, the advisor told me it might be in the home folder, but I lost touch with him, and I am hoping that I can find SOMEONE that can help me with this issue.
    Thank you

    Hi there!  Just reading that paragraph I hurt all over
    But I got it solved and I would like to share it with you.  I actually called Apple and they created a user roots, and from the library in the HD replaced the preferences.  After that it worked like a charm.... But that is not all, then excel did not work, even if preferences did, so I went and uninstalled microsoft office, and reinstalled so that was that...
    I use safari... I love it, but thanks for all your offers.  If I even do need something, I will let you know. and PLEASE let me know if what I wrote above makes sense.... but it works
    Take care

  • Losing predictive text and error correction on keyboard

    A strange thing  happened to me and I am wondering if others have experienced this. 
    I was in the middle.of typing a message and the predictive text/spelling check, suddenly, went away. The keyboard was still there but without these options. Tried restarting the app but no joy.  Tried other apps and found the same thing . Finally, rebooted and it came back. 
    Any thoughts?

  • Can't open "Formats" in "Language and Text"

    In System Preferences > Language and Text, if I click the Formats tab, nothing happens. The other tabs work.
    This is a problem as I messed up my date format the last time I was in there.
    I tried safe booting, but it made no difference.
    Any suggestions?

    Quit System Preferences.
    Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library"
    and delete these files/folders:
    /Preferences/com.apple.system preferences .plist
    /Preferences/By Host/com.apple.systempreferences.xxx.plist of them)
    and com.apple.PrefPane.Network.xxx.plist (the X's will be numbers)
