Asian Languages

Not sure if anyone put it on here, but could you put in Japanese?
It would make it the keyboard more loved by us Asian's if we could txt in our language too^^

Hello,

SmartKeyboard is really good.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8csKTV1rc_0
That's nice to see that you are working hard on your application !

I found really nice to be able to already write Hiragana's (Japanese), but I do really need a dictionary with all the kana's and Kanji's.

Good luck with everything, thanks for your work.

small edit :
By the way here is what a japanese phone keyboard layout look like :

and about how does that would fit in a smartphone, Iphone and Xperia 10 videos available on youtube.

xPeria10: both available on the market Simeji and OpenWnn

IMHO simeji works much better.

I hope this will help in any way :)
And I hope Japanese will also be part of the plan :)

So finally the full implementation of Japanese (including kanji and katakana) is finished!
You can try this beta version, and you also need to install the japanese dictionary to have it working

Waiting for your feedbacks!
