Hi Everyone, I'm learning vietnamese and I there are some great options for dictionaries but i can't seem to figure out a soft keyboard or some method for entering vietnames text. anyone have any ideas?

The closest language to Vietnamese is French. Hope it helps.

Even though it doesn't specifically state it, after some reading, I'm relatively sure that Resco Keyboard Pro has Vietnamese.

Try the above link and download the trial.

If it does, I wouldn't mind it if you hit my "Thanks" button

thanks guys. I just tried french and it doesn't really work although they do have the extra letters that i needed I couldn't add the diacritics (tone marks indicating the inflection one should use when pronouncing the word) without those you don't know if you are saying "go" or "testicles" (not a joke)

I think pocket cm has a skin for the entry. google pocket cm keyboard and there should be a screen
