Bug Description

When choosing another keyboard layout (in my case Finnish) the on screen keyboard from accessibility settings still uses an English layout with no umlauts.

Upstream says the Gnome on-screen keyboard is very limited right now:

But I think this might be a helpful enhancement to clarify that shortcoming:

summary: - On screen keyboard does not match selected keyboard layout
+ On screen keyboard stays English even after changing language to Finnish
