How to override default keyboard layout?

Question

My Android app has several EditText widgets in various input languages- i.e. field "1" is strictly English and field "2" is strictly German

As far as I know, it is impossible to directly change the keyboard language. However, is it possible to override certain keys to both look and write different characters (i.e. 1->ą and etc) depending on the EditText field id / settings / type or other?

As all the words are names / company names the autocorrect feature is not necessary.

what platform/operating system? – Daniel A. White Oct 22 '11 at 17:49 — Daniel A. White, Oct 22 '11 at 17:49

It is possible to set the keyboard language programmatically, but discouraged. I imagine the discussion in this question will be helpful.

Thanks:) Is it possible to simply replace both the label and the associated action for each key individually, rather than system on the whole? – user1008771 Oct 22 '11 at 18:49
