iPhone 2.0 auto correction Enable/Disable

So if you’re like me and write a lot of emails in a non-english language, as Romanian, you are probably pissed of by iPhone’s auto correction.

First of all you need disk access to the iPhone through SSH or ... another method :D

When you have managed to enter disk mode, you go to “/System/Library/TextInput/” and do the following:

  • rename the “TextInput_pt.bundle” to “TextInput_pt_backup.bundle”
  • create a blank directory called “TextInput_pt.bundle” so you have a language, in this case Portuguese with a blank dictionary
  • Go to Settings and from Keyboards enable Portoguese too.

After all this stuff when you type on the iPhone’s keyboard, you have a key with a globe icon next to the spacebar. When you click that key you switch between English and the blank dictionary called Portuguese.

Is pretty simple and effective. Enjoy it !

Not so usefull for me. I’m writing a lot of English and German so I just added them both as an international keyboard and I switch every time I write in a different language. In addition, I have to say the iPhone’s correction is pretty badass, it make me write almost as fast as on PC wink

Aleluia, merci fain ca mai aveam putin si-mi smulgeam parul din cap! Dar mi se pare tare surprinzator ca nu au un dictionar romanesc pe iPhone-urile cumparate in Romania - eu fiind in Australia, nici o sansa, dar in Europa zau asa!

In alta ordine de idei, super cool, your site!

ummmmm..... or you could just say Home Screen>Settings>General>Auto Correct: Off…

@Cooper Shrieve: I don’t have a Auto Correct Off option on my iPhone. Best I could do was to use both the English and French keyboards simultaneously, which seems to confuse the auto correct into silence…

I finally did it on my iPhone. It works, but there are two glitches:

- typing double-space no longer inserts a dot.
- It doesn’t learn the words I type.
