Title:
  No way of selecting layout of bluetooth keyboard

Bug description:
  What happens:
  Having connected a bluetooth keyboard to Ubuntu phone, it is locked to American layout. There is no option of changing the layout.

  What should happen:
  The user should be able to select the layout of her bluetooth keyboard. The layout should default to the option the device reports (e.g. German for a qwertz-keyboard).

  Today I connected a bluetooth keyboard to my Ubuntu phone (Meizu MX4,
  OTA 9). Pairing worked flawlessly, the keyboard was usable right away.
  But there is no way to select the correct layout. Ubuntu phone applies
  American (qwerty) layout, but this is wrong. My bluetooth keyboard has
  German layout (qwertz). While I can easily switch layouts for the
  screen keyboard, I cannot do so for the bluetooth keyboard. It is
  fixed to American. This renders my keyboard next to useless.

  The user should be able to configure keyboard layout for bluetooth
  devices just like for the screen keyboard.
