iPhone keyboard is controlled by language settings

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

I usually run OS with English as language for the localized text and Swedish for keyboard input locale.
However, on the iPhone the keyboard layout for swedish differ (!!) if I change international settings on the iPhone.
Look how Å and Ä are in a much more inconvenient place when using enlish locale. I am still using Swedish for the keyboard layout (mellanslag is swedish for space).

How come pop out is not controlled by keyboard locale?
