#How to get greek letters on galaxy s5 download#
It seems that the Galaxy devices, unless you buy them straight from the manufacturer, are regionalized, meaning that, for instance, a European version may include many European languages, but lack say, Chinese and Japanese, and an Indian version would have Hindi and Urdu, but not necessarily German or French, since there are few native German or French speakers.Īs for input, I use a program called Swype (available of you search the app store), for which you can download Traditional Chinese as well as Japanese. It seems to have a great many languages:Ĭhinese (HK Traditional, TW Traditional, Simplified), Korean, Arabic, Armenian, Azeri, Catalan, Check, Danish, German, English, Estonian, French, Finnish, Irish Gaelic, Icelandic, Latvian, Dutch, Norwegian (Bokmal), Ozbek, Polish, Slovenian, Serbian, Turkish, Greek, Kazakh, Bulgarian, Ukranian are just the ones I can identify with a quick glance. Glenn, I have the International version of the Galaxy S5, which I bought stock in Taiwan. and it never disappeared after i changed back to the Samsung keypad!įor s5, i can start off with google pinyin and hold onto the globe button to switch it back to Samsung keyboard but after getting to the Samsung keyboard, there is no more globe button! from there i could choose between Google Pinyin Input and Samsung keypad. When i toggled among them in s2, i just needed to hold onto the input text box and there would be this 'Edit text' menu with an option that says 'Input method'.

I was using an s2 before this and my most frequently used keyboards would be English & Korean from the Samsung keyboard and Traditional Chinese (sometimes SImplified) from the Google Pinyin. I just got an s5 and i was cracking my brains (or should i say my hands) trying to figure out how i could toggle between the samsung keyboard and google pinyin input.

(couldn't control my emotions because i was struggling on my s5 by myself for about 30mins before i decided to try my luck googling and easily came to this topic! ) Okay so i just created an account to thank skylee. Why they aren't uniform on the same device is another question, but that's not the one I'm really interested in right now.

The crazy thing about this is that there's a video on YouTube of a guy talking about how to change the language, and his phone has scores of available OS languages. On the keyboard/input side, I'm just missing Traditional Chinese, although the handwriting input option does allow me to at least be able to input it. The only solution I've found involved a lot of stuff I feel should be unnecessary. I'd like to also have Japanese and Traditional Chinese as options (and if I get really crazy, Greek). Google hasn't been much help either, and considering the specialized nature of this forum's members' knowledge, this seemed like as good a place to ask as any.ĭoes anyone have the new Galaxy S5, and if so, what languages are available on it? I only have 5 options for the OS - English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese. I looked around a little, but didn't see anything related to this on the forums already, and since this is such a new device, I figured that meant it hadn't been brought up yet.
