    Default Add keybords for different languages to A1200, how can I ?

    Hi, I have an A1200 Ming and an A780. My A780 (european version) has german, englisch, spanish, french, italian, dutch and portugese keybord layouts to chose from.
    The Ming only has english and two chinese keyboards.
    Even the english keyboard differs from that on my A780: On A780 I have all specific characters from all langueges stated above and even skandinavian letters.

    Is it possible, to transfer at least the english keyboard from A780 to the Ming?
    If yes, how can I manage this?
    If not, maybe it's possible to change some keys on the existing keyboard (some appear twice so nothing would be lost)

    I live in Germany and often have to use german umlaute which are supported by the phone in email, SMS/MMS, calender, phonebook, notes...
    but as said obove, they are not on the keyboard.

    My workaround today is, that I created a note with these letters on the A780, sent that to the Ming and now do copy and paste if i need them. But this is a bit complicated if you write a mail that has much of these characters in it.


    After I flashed the phone with 46P something mysterios occured: sometimes (not always) the phone shows the layout of a "germanboard" but the maping of the keys is the same as in the englishboard and there is no germanboard to choose in the setting for inputmethods.
    I figured out, that the default language setting is automatic and before flashing it was set to english. If I switch to english, the germanboard never appears.

    What I've tried until now:
    copied the inputmethods folder from my A780 with the keybord and handwriting files to TF card.
    tried to copy them to the existing folder ezx-user/download/appwrite/inputmethods with linloader but it was not possible for me. the folder kept empty. I deleted the folder and created a new one with same name. After this I could copy the files into this new one.

    But after restarting the phone I still have no working germanboard or other. And, next mystic thing, my settings in "world time" were gone!

    I think I have to do something that makes the system look for my keybordfiles at startup (edit a registry file or whatever)

    can anybody help me please?
