Hi Tomas,

I wrote the Swedish layout yesterday, it should get merged soon. If LANGUAGE contains the swedish locale sv, it should be shown in the keyboard.

    Correction to the GMail and Twitter comment below. After a reboot
    keyboard works (but without auto-caps) in GMail, but still not
    when composing a tweet. Using the search function in Twitter
    brings up the keyboard.

    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

    Hi Thomas,

    thanks for the input. I will try this for the keyboard layout.
    As I stated below, I have tried the auto-caps command without
    any result. I guess that is what you meant with the
    "predicitive-text true" command...? I will try that again also.

    auto-caps is the default behavior now and is working in the
    latest image. The first letter of the word or after punctiation
    should be automatically capitilized in non special text fields.
    you should not need to turn predictive-text on to get the
    auto-caps functionality as they are properly decoupled. Are you
    using latest trusty image?
    phablet-flash ubuntu-system --channel trusty-proposed

    I assume that these commands could also be issued from the
    terminal app on the device, or?

    Thank you,
    Tomas

    Hi Tomas,

    you need to add the desired language to the list of enabled
    languages:
    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.

    For getting autocaps working also try this:
    adb shell sudo -iu phablet gsettings set
    com.canonical.keyboard.maliit predictive-text true

        Is it possible to change the keyboard layout with the
        gsettings command? I also tried to change
        auto-capitalization with the following command in the
        terminal on my device:

        sudo -iu phablet gsettings set
        com.canonical.keyboard.maliit auto-capitalization true

        but it didn't work.

        Thanks,
