Yes, I'm already using it... :-)

Re: Is it possible to change language in the Slider Keyboard?
 

On the N810 (OS .43-7) :
In the bottom left corner of the stylus keybord,
click the icon, >tools >settings.

Here you change the layout of the sliding keyboard (to e.g. Russian).
The file defining the layouts is
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-44 .

I'm afraid Hebrew is not supported, but in principle you could add a Hebrew layout in the rx-44 file.
It is beyond my knowledge if the settings menu above would automatically include such additions.
Maybe this what ukeyboard does ?

Re: Is it possible to change language in the Slider Keyboard?
 

Well, I already have a rx-44-he file in the /nokia_vndr folder in addition to the first file "rx-44". I got it from the "Hebrew Language Pack" installation.

But it does nothing... In my device anyway.

Re: Is it possible to change language in the Slider Keyboard?
 

Now I am guessing . .
Can it be that renaming the files helps ?
( The original rx-44 file has sections for different languages plus at the end a "base" section common to all.)

Re: Is it possible to change language in the Slider Keyboard?
 

The language set up (for Asian languages) uses so much memory space, that I eventually uninstall everything. I now use virtual input method found on some Web sites.

Re: Is it possible to change language in the Slider Keyboard?
 

I installed the Hewbrew package from maemo, is it the same ?
If so :

It seems to me that the problem is, that the menu to choose language gets an addition,
but not the menu to choose hardware keyboard layout.

I do not know how to achieve that, but in the meantime I suggest the following hack,
it worked for me.

First, to check for possible other problems :
Do you have Russian as an alternative ?
If so, change your hardware keyboard layout to Russian.
( You need not change the language setting.)
Type with the sliding keyboard.
Ctrl-Chr should change between latin and cyrillic characters.
If this works, and you do not need Russian, my hack should work.

Run emelfm2 as root.
Look at the the russian section in the rx-44 file and compare it with the rx-44-he file.
They have the same EIGHT_LEVEL structure.

( Of course, backup first . .)
Replace (copy, paste) the Russian chr. definitions inside the russian block
with the Hebrew definitions from inside the Hebrew block.
( Keep the "include---" sentence, and you need not replace all definitions.)
Reboot.

Now set hardware keyboard layout to Russian.

( I suppose you could replace any unneeded language instead of Russian.)


Let's hope the Hebrew package gets extended /(debugged) to include the hardware keyboard.

Re: Is it possible to change language in the Slider Keyboard?
 

I suppose that is why Nokia's manual says nothing . .

But Ctrl-Chr does switch keyboard layout on my N810.
That is in those layouts that are defined as EIGHT_LEVEL in the rx-44 file.
There Ctrl-Chr switches between the first 4 and the last 4 characters.

On my swedish N810 that applies to two scandinavian umlauts (äö <> æø) and to the russian keyboard (latin <> cyrillic chrs).

Re: Is it possible to change language in the Slider Keyboard?
 

Thanks KristianW for all the help but i found a way to write in hebrew thanks to Matan in the forum. But right now I just need to find a way to add a command to the startup.

Re: Is it possible to change language in the Slider Keyboard?
 

Can you share how you got it done?

Re: Is it possible to change language in the Slider Keyboard?
 

Good for you !!

I searched for Matan's instructions . .

Please tell where you found them !
I am experimenting and want to learn about this system.
