I've looked into it and at the moment I'm still in doubt about localizing in cyrillic/arabic/chinese/japanese. If I do it, it will have to be a complete implementation, along with T9 filtering, wich frankly scares me because of the vast amount of information I'll have to digest to make it work properly.

Heh, I see... Well, if you decide to add some support for that, I would love to help (you can find my email in my profile).

I have no idea about arabic and of course chinese/japanese is somewhat strange, but for cyrillic it's the same as for latin, just different symbols and a bit more of them (so like АБВГ on 2, ДЕЖЗ on 3, and so on). I can provide layout and info about additional letters which we don't usually show, but use (like Ë and Ъ from Russian and Ї from Ukrainian).

Anyway, thanks for good work! :)
