I am trying to type in Arabic as well as in English. I set up the Arabic keyboard using the following steps:



Settings -> Region & Language -> + -> Arabic



I also added Arabic (QWERTY) just to check.



After doing that I get the little switcher on the top right. The problem is when I switch the language it keeps typing in English. Anyone know what is going on? I am very confused!

  • Restarting magically worked. Still a bug though!
