Hi,
I'm using version 3.13.0 and I can not change the HW keyboard's language with shift+space method in my phone (Samsung Galaxy 551).
Is there any other way I can try?
Another question; Is there any way to change the keyboard layout on some languages? I have some problems in Persian layout.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Galaxy 551 (i5510) HW Keyboard
Shift+space should work on every phone, but I suspect you want is key translation for your language, which is something different (it's implemented only for Hebrew, Russian, Korean and Greek).
What is your problem with Persian? I created this layout with the help of only one person, so it may not be perfect.

Shift+Space works on virtual (both landscape & portrait). But when using the physical keyboard, the combination (Pressing Shift+Space on the physical keyboard) doesn't change the language of the physical keyboard. It is always English.
The main mistake in Persian keyboard is the letter ی that should not have dots at the bottom like this ي . (Correct: ی )
This ی is not the one that appears with long press, it can be changed when connected to an other letter. Then it'll have two dots (یا). But in single form it doesn't (ی).

No, no, I can guarantee that shift+space on the soft keyboard does nothingpulad wrote:Shift+Space works on virtual (both landscape & portrait). But when using the physical keyboard, the combination (Pressing Shift+Space on the physical keyboard) doesn't change the language. It is always English.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in Unicode there is no single code corresponding to this letter (I mean, with two dots for initial form and without dots for final form), so you need both letters (with and without dots) on the keyboard, and you have to choose yourself the one you want to use. So the only question would be: is it more convenient to have the letter without dots accessible with a long press, or the letter with dots?The main mistake in Persian keyboard is the letter ی that should not have dots at the bottom like this ي .

I have a similar problem. My phone is set to type with Greek characters and I want to change it to English. I was able to change the language to English for the virtual keyboard, but not for the hard keyboard. I tried the shift + space method mentioned on the hard keyboard but it didn't work. How can I change the language on the hard keyboard?
