any support for Hindi Language Dictionary ?

we've been waiting and patiently waiting for so long

@amit_anju and others:

I can clear up any questions about future language support.

We are absolutely thrilled that Swype for Symbian supports 37 languages right now. Symbian is also the only Swype platform that supports downloadable language packs! If we had it our way we would continue to bring additional languages to the Ovi store.

Unfortunately there are significant technical and business challenges that makes continued language development difficult and prohibitive. There are still many languages--such as Hindi--that are not yet supported by Swype both on Symbian and Android. There are also some languages that only work with the latest versions of Symbian Belle. There are definitely many roadblocks.

We're sorry to say there are no plans to expand our language support for Symbian besides what's going to be offered in this next update. If at any time we start working on additional languages, our Beta users will be the first ones to know and the first ones to try it out!

Best,

Peter

Always loved Swype. Only grouse was missing split screen support, now addressed by Swype 2. Dint fiddle wid d settings yet.
One query. Why does ovi store show update for Swype? As I understand, ovi has version 1 and this is version 2. Is it because this is beta version, and not released in ovi?

Thanks, very interested about testing (using) Thai and giving no value comment just to get notification about updates to this thread. :)

Please make cut copy paste shortcuts available. Swype button + c, v, x

The new version of Swype 2.0 is much faster and reliable than its previous version 1.0, but Nokia guys should provide Split Screen features to S60v5 smartphones, because most of he Nokia users are still using S60v5 devices so the Split Screen features should given to them :) Thanks

Thanks for d reply. I guess it'll show d update till Swype 2 is officially released on OVI.

@ananda.bibek

yes add the missing words you are using, and the popup won't appear anymore

The original post says

"With that said, an update to the Swype Beta will be available sometime in the next two weeks! Here's what you can expect:
.
.
- Thai and Vietnamese language packs
"

And that was almost a week ago, so within the next week or so it could be expected. :)

Great News. Good to hear, and I cant wait for the Update:)
You Guys do a great job, I will never buy a Phone without Swype-Support in the future, ist just amazing. Thanks

Hey Swypers!

Working out the final details now. We're only a few days so hold on there!

Cheers!

Peter

Glad to hear there'll be an update regarding the install process because I coundn't get it working on N8 (italian)

@k.rayker
Sorry, they cant do that. Please see this thread
http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/swype-for-symbian-2-0/bugreport/39726/in-...

great stuff, but i'm polish and i have a suggestion of minor improvement. In Polish language, there should be something easy to access, for example second press of button "=#@"; which would show letters such as ż,ź,ą,ę,ć,ś; cause pressing for example "a" for a while is annoying.

Dear Developers,
We were expecting Hindi/Devanagari language support in this version.
If it's too difficult for you guys to code the swyping process for Hindi words, I suggest you to atleast make a non-swypable keyboard for Hindi/Devanagari characters.
Because curretly Symbian ^3/Anna/Belle lacks any kind of keyboard for Devanagari, it's impossible to type in our mother tongues on our beloved smartphones.
Please consider about Hindi.

@Abz_dogg
It ought to work. Try this:
http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/swype-for-symbian-2-0/discussion/39904/tr...

Can not get Danish language installed, settings will not open, tried the q button but it crashes when I select Danish

Nu har jeg fået det til at virke ;-)

It works fine now, It was the language pack that was the problem, Swype suggests that you should download the language pack from ovistore instead off from betalabs

my fault...........sorry

Wow thanks for the update. I had uninstalled swype after the wifi password issue. Been using the default keyboard made me craved for swype update release. Missing swype so much, love it a lot :-*
Pls do add in tamil language support as well. Thanks@நன்றி.

@tristanpualao
Simply mark the word and press the Swype key to remove from user directory.
A lot of tips can be found here: http://www.swype.com/category/tips/
(A few is valid for Android only though)

But there is (currently?) no way of getting rid of or barring words that comes with Swype.

@tristanpualao
What you describe is the behaviour for words in the dictionary that comes with each Swype-language. As I pointed out you can (unfortunately) only delete words you have added yourself.

But remember that Swype tries to be clever and register what you selected, so if you have several words that matches your Swype pattern (like "PUT" and "PIT", "POT"), selecting the one you really wants multiple times, should bring that one to the top of the list as the word selected automatically. I do not know the number of times needed, and it might depend on the frequency of the word in standard texts ("PUT" of course being by far the most common of the above three in English)

(In Danish we got "PYT", "PUT" and "POT", none of them very common, and here the above described way to promote one works instantly)

Very useful app.. landscape view only supports full screen keyboard in my c6-00, but in the options to select input method, there is an option of mini keyboard too.. i think this is a bug... and a mini split screen keyboard for landscape view too would be much appreciated. all the best!!

OMG !! I've just downloaded it ,, and it's Totally Amazing ,, way beyond what i've Expected..... I mean the ''split screen" itself is a Huge leap ,, not to mention the "Faster performance" , the "improved accuracy" ,, and the Overall much Appreciated "Smoothness" to the whole Swyping experience ... Especially the long awaited support for "Arabic" language.

Great Job Nokia ,, Great job Swype team ,, i'm officially BLOWN away ! ,, so please guys : keep up the Amazing work .
By the way i'm using a C7 ,, and writing this very comment with this new version took me less than "2 minutes" .. So WOW Man , I rest my case !!

I only wish the bottom most 4 keys in portrait mode were a bit more larger. Very difficult to get the green check mark at the bottom in portrait mode.

Does anybody know how to fix Swype within IMO after installing Beta Labs apps ('Store QML Client' and 'Live View') breaks it?

Very useful...but there are other characters missing in Polish keyboard.

@albin166
I downloaded this version from beta labs last night and it's working as well as it did with Anna.

The double tap isn't working for me, either... Official Belle update on N8...

It works... now and then, but not all the time. It's inconsistent in some apps.

This issue was present in Qt 4.7.4 earlier version. In qt apps, the Swype behaved inconsistently. Cursor being stuck etc.
In the latest qt version, this problem has been fixed.
You could just install Nokia pulse, the smart installer will install the fixed qt version automatically

I had this issue. And it got fixed after installing latest qt version with pulse.
The qt version coming with Belle is the old 4.7.4
there's a more recent qt quick version that fixes the problem

When Swpye coming with Belle is activated, it slows down the processing speed of my phone - Nokia N8.

@aqther

A few months ago it could have been me writing that message, now all I see is a buggy app and no updates since the beginning of November.

This isn't a rant, I just wanted to consolidate the problems I've had with Swype recently:

• double-tap word selection not working
• backspace not working (or holding backspace for word delete)
• every word gets capitalised
• split-screen not working consistently
• multi-line input not available in some apps
• input is sometimes right-aligned
• buttons along bottom (tick, left/right, options) are too small
• doesn't have text selection anchors like native Belle input

For such an amazing and useful app it's surprising how many niggly problems aren't picked up in testing.

@aqther

lol! nice suggestion, but I reinstall Belle most days, I'm a coder and tester ;)

@gringorican0

It's a known problem: http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/swype-2-1-for-symbian/bugreport/44997/pop...
