Bug Description

Phone: Meizu MX4 (15.04 r4)
OS Language: German

What you expected to happen:
When connecting a Bluetooth keyboard I expect that the keyboard layout is the same as the keyboard hardware key layout (German) or that it is possible to change the keyboard layout in the Bluetooth setting for the connected Bluetooth device.

What happened instead:
The Bluetooth keyboard worked, but wasn't set to German key layout. In the Bluetooth device setting I couldn't find any option to change the Bluetooth keyboard key layout.

From what I hear from the Mir/UI guys this is something which isn't implemented yet on their side. BlueZ itself doesn't have any control over this as its just exposing an input device which is then configured and used by the UI.

I tried this today on my Nexus 4 (rc-proposed-pd r179) and Swedish keyboard layout works with the Ubuntu Touch apps, but not Gedit and LibreOffice. With those apps the English layout remains. I haven't tried Firefox yet.
