Hi Bill,

I am on 14.04 (r10) and yes, I noticed that auto-caps is working in the 
Notes and Messaging apps. However, when I try composing a new message in 
GMail or a new tweet in the Twitter app, the keyboard doesn't even show up.

With reference to the reply from Thomas, I was wondering about the command:
adb shell sudo -iu phablet gsettings set com.canonical.keyboard.maliit 
enabled-languages "['en', 'es', 'fr', 'pt', 'de', 'zh']"
The layout is picked from the LANGUAGE env variable. A recent keyboard 
is needed.

In a previous build r100 I think, I tried changing the keyboard layout 
according to my question here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/362910/swedish-keyboard-on-ubuntu-touch

Does the keyboard depend on the display language from the Ubuntu Touch 
settings? I was thinking I could use a Swedish keyboard together with 
the English UI language, as Swedish is not yet enabled in Ubuntu Touch 
(probably because it isn't ready enough). In that case, how do I enable 
Swedish for the UI?

Thanks,
Tomas
