It is possible to change the extended Latin letters to other letters with a custom keyboard patch. There are patches for Cyrillic, Arabic, Hebrew, and Turkish, or you can make up your own keypad just by replacing the letters in one of these patches:
Cyrillic (lower and upper case) and Arabic:

Note that the glyphs for Arabic and Hebrew are not available when the device first boots, so the keyboard will just show blank squares until the first time the Aa menu inside a book is opened.
The screenshots above are from my Glo (fw 3.16.0), the keyboards on other devices are a little different. |
(1st post) finally got my 1st e-reader, a Kobo Libra H2O. Loved the physical aspects of it, and the hackability (yes, you guys are, partly, the reason I picked this device. For me, ownership means being able to tinker). Anyway, I kinda need the Hebrew keyboard patch, hoping to be able to use it to search in books and also for browsing books in my local library in Hebrew. Seems like this patch was removed some time in the past. Is it b/c of some prosaic reason like it was no longer maintained or is it something that made that patch break something or not work entirely?
