Galaxy smartwatch 4 - voice to text not supported in Greek language

[PrG1991]

Hey there.

So I've purchased the new galaxy smartwatch 4. 

Pretty good features etc. But there is one  serious problem considering that's a smartwatch and have a main purpose - to make your life easier - apart from calculating your steps or measuring your body fat.

It is supposed to offer you a fast way to interact with your friends and your phone and right now it does not.

I am Greek and therefore Greek voice to text is not supported. Meaning you can't reply to your messages, can't run a fast route search while driving etc.

So why us Greeks bought a 300£ watch for?

I've seen similar threads since 1 year ago with users having same issue from previous watch such active2, flagged as solved but not being solved at all. How hard is to implement Greek language there?

I have purchased the smartwatch5 and installed the very functional Gboard keyboard, that supports up to 3 languages, with full keyboard layout and voice to text on all 3 languages.

It is really simple:

1. Download the Gboard from the Google Play Store ON YOUR WATCH and press to activate.

2. On your watch go to Settings, General, Input, Keyboard list and default. You will see, in addition to Samsung Keyboard, the Gboard, select the settings as required (languages, etc).

3. Then, go back one step to Default keyboard and select Gboard.

Hope that you will find the above useful.

Hi my friend ,

Thank you very much for the excellent details solution above. I know that solution for sure from early days. Don't take me wrong Samsung should eliminate her UI and keyboard support of thay cannot support their products and not to say with have an awesome Samsung keyboard with emojis but you cannot use it in greek.... That is wrong ! When the phone starts it should have installed gboard and no Samsung keyboard as they are incapable of supporting other countries languages but yet again they ask for your good money from all these countries.... They have excellent product in a way... But luck of support , complete terrible support for the amount of money they are asking, it's better if people choose Xiaomi or Oppo or apple or lg or moto or any other that utilise google platforms at least.
