problem in message typing

[Pavan_Hyuga]

word suggesting of my phone doesn't work right.(only when i use touchscreen keyboard)

my phone: xperia mini pro sk17i

Eg: when i try to type the word "gedara"(it's not a english word. it's a sinhala word written in english letters) phone suggests many words like "Gedara", "Cedars", "Greats"(with "Cedars" hi-lighted and it's the second word on the list of suggested words) and when i press space after typing the word "gedara" it automaticaly selects the word "Cedars".

i can choose my word from the list of words that phone suggests but if i don't select one, phone selects the second word while ignoring the first word in the list (phone shows the word i typed at the top of its word suggetions. but it chooses the second word in that list if i don't choose what i want). so i can't type what i want with touch screen. i have to keep choosing the word i typed before typing another word.

this problem doesn't occur when i use the physical keyboard.

anybody knows a solution??:smileyconfused:

see the "wrench" icon  on screen keyboard? try selecting your language.

[Pavan_Hyuga]

language is selected as english already. my language isn't there

...that's why the keyboard suggested english words, have you tried, adding  the words in user dictionary?

[Pavan_Hyuga]

prob. solved . i changed from settings not to auto correct words.o the dictionary isn't a easy task

and adding my words to dictionary isn't a easy task. just think about it. adding a whole llanguage to the dic.:smileysilly:

lol great!

of course I did not meant to add the whole language, just common ones, I was under the impression your using two languages at sms.

No no. we use Sinhala words in English letters because many phones do not have sinhala font exept for some nokia models.

90% is sinhala and 10% is english words. so adding those 90% to dictonary is a drag:smileylaugh:
