Build ID: 20120713134347

Steps to reproduce:

We do need a Portuguese Dictionary/WordList including some kind of ranking so we can create an XML file like this:
<wordlist>
  <w f="255">highest ranked word</w>
    ...
  <w f="0">lowest ranked word</w>
</wordlist>

Drivers: need to determine if this is a blocker for v1.

[Philipp von Weitershausen [:philikon]]

If we can we should ship as many l10n assets as possible in Gaia. Isn't the keyboard and predictive text a Gaia feature anyway?

Can we use the AOSP frequency wordlist? Apparently it's under the GDPL.
The compiled file for Portuguese is available at https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cm/blob/ics/overlay/dictionaries/packages/inputmethods/LatinIME/java/res/raw-pt/main.dict and a plain text XML file is available at https://softkeyboard.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/DictionaryTools/xml/pt.xml

Android 4.1 ships with dictionaries, including portuguese:

http://androidxref.com/4.1.1/xref/packages/inputmethods/LatinIME/dictionaries/

currenlty we are using those for testing!

I tested the Portuguese dictionaries for Android and they look reasonable. This is WFM.
