I don;t think the OSK layout should really be set by the text input
itself. Would you really use different language per each text input in
the same application? I don't think it would make sense. The user won't
necessarily use different OSK layout in the same app, it's rather app
specific than text input component specific.

Title:
  [OSK] Should remember keyboard layout per conversation

Bug description:
  Steps:
  * go to a conversation
  * select a non-default keyboard layout
  * go to a different conversation
  * select a different keyboard layout
  * go back to the first conversation

  Expected:
  * the selected layout should be restored for each conversation

  Current:
  * layout is "global" for the whole session

  Thinking about the solution... it'd probably be best if text fields
  had a "context" property that the input method could read and restore
  layouts per context. If a field had no context, it would fall back to
  the generic behaviour - per-c

  Rationale: you generally change layouts per contact, to write to
  someone in a different language.

  ---------------------------------------------

  This would require deeper functionality between the OSK and SDK /
  messaging app than we currently have - the proposal sounds good but
  not much to add from UX POV at this stage
