Has anybody any ideas about how to add a new input language on a symbian s60v5 nokia phone. E.g.: I have nokia 5230. I'm thinking about the following options but I'm not sure they'll work:

  • Adding specific files to the phone's file system
  • Writing a virtual keyboard in java/c++
  • Manual installation of device's software with the needed language, but then you loose all the other languages installed on your phone

These are my suggestions, not more. I don't exactly know how I should realize them. In every case, thanks a lot! Have a good time.

It's solved very easily. Just install SlideIT and the needed language pack from OVI Store. Even SlideIT Demo is enough but I have bought the full version for 3 euro. Enjoy. There is also another solution if your phone supports python (maybe it even works). http://www.symbian-freak.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=47102

You can't mess around with device software - it resides in read only part of the phone and for most part is unaccessible to you. Better find a phone that contains the language you need.
