Text languages support

[Devmapall]

It’d be nice to see options to change the language of text. If I type in cyrillic I get Russian letterforms and I need the localized Bulgarian ones. Also I think I can’t choose from stylistic or contextual alternates.

If you use the Russian keyboard you’ll get Russian letters! For other Cyrillic alphabets you need to install additional keyboards via the Settings app (‘Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards > Add New Keyboard…’). The availability of Stylistic Sets, Contextual Alternates and other OpenType features will depend on your choice of font.

Hi Alfred,

Thanks for taking your time to reply. I am using the "Bulgarian" keyboard, but the only Bulgarian thing about it is the layout. The actual letterforms are still traditional CYR, not localized. Even on the keyboard itself. For instance I will compare what a letter "i" in Russian (traditional) and Bulgarian (rounded) Cyrillic should look like. It's: и (RUS) > u (BGN).

I did wonder about that! Even to my untrained eye the different keyboards just look like different arrangements of the same characters.
