Thanks for continued Japanese language support. How difficult would it be to port the maliit jp plugin to Japanese so sailfish can have a flick type keyboard? Ubuntu touch has this feature since the latest update, so might be easier to port this version (not a developer so no idea how difficult this would be).

Thanks for your comment

I would love to look at the maliit JP plugin, however I can't find any repository for it (the google code page returns 404).

EDIT: Ok, have found the malit JP plugin - it seems the page has returned a 404 because one script was not active. Maybe you are also interested in http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1405297 - although it is not from me and I haven't tested it myself.

Thanks! Installed it and it works, finally a flick type keyboard! Should have kept an eye on that thread!
