On-Screen Keyboard & Multiple Languages

Hi,

I have a couple of additional languages added and can switch the on-screen
keyboard to these languages. However, if I click any on-screen keyboard key,
it asks me to move focus to the window I want to type in. As soon as I do
that, then hover the mouse back to the on-screen keyboard to click the key,
the keyboard immediately switches back to English. Clicking keys will
actually type the selected language characters corresponsing to these keys,
but the English display on the keyboard makes difficult to know which keys
I'm about to click/type, which kind of defeats the purpose. Any idea how to
get around that?

Thanks

Hi,

I really need some help on this. I run the latest language pack updates and
now the on-screen keyboard will not switch to any of the other languages even
though, when I change the language in the language bar, clicking keys on the
computer keyboard or on the on-screen keyboard, both, will display the typed
character in the selected language. The issue is the characters/font display
on the on-screen keyboard. How can I get the on-screen keyboard to display
the selected language layout?

Thanks
