Sorry to post again :
There's still the bug that if you write いぼ ibo then the ん it will only want to write n in latin
bon kanji = 凡 is missing.

It also happens if you want to write n alone. it doesn't work, it will write only latin 'n'.

EDIT:

It's the same bug as before, you have to type "twice" if you want to see the ん or  ン

it's okay, not very intuitive but that's ok :) If you have more important bugs to work on.
Sorry for all the questions and asks.
Thanks again for this good keyboard.

yvan.

And about the "n", I changed the behavior on purpose, see this topic
And imagine you want to type "hi n o", it was impossible with the previous behavior (it would always convert to "hi no"). This is not a real example but you see the idea. And anyway all the japanese IMEs work like this so I have to do the same

Chinese (simplified) is now also ready for testing!

You need the beta version, and the Chinese dictionary.

Hi !
Thank you, yes it's pretty good. it works like an old Japanese phone ^^ahah.
If you can make sliding available it will be awesome. (Since it's a smartphone) it's easier and natural.
Otherwise t9 also have a finding words stuff I forgot to mention, when you hit a ka sa for example
it will look for all words in dictionnary with a ka sa and will purpose the user the possibility to choose other words too.
the ones that can be written with " a,i,u,e,o" then " ka,ki,ku,ke,ko" "sa,shi,su,se,so" but it seems kinda difficult to realize, so it's more an information than a request lol.

A small thing that I can notice is that on the ?123 you will only switch to a "latin" special character, maybe since there's no space to put the others on these keys
you should add a page with these chars, but it's not "urgent".

Thank you for your work :)

EDIT :
maybe I don't explain myself very well so :

under Japanese tab.

And an old news I didn't know about.

They integrate the keys to switch between writing styles like real Japanese keyboards that's really cool.

Hi cyril, any word on the Katakana issue?

I still can't type katakana unless it's already in the dictionary.

I have enabled "always suggest" and "smart dictionary" as mentioned in previous posts but I still can't type individual katakana characters on their own.

Usually with other Japanese IME, you type a character in hiragana first and pressing space will prompt suggested words AND the katakana equivalent of that single character.



Still love your keyboard, it's the only one I use that has both Chinese and Japanese support.
