As the input method of CJK languages are significantly different from English (compared to the relatively small difference), every app just allows the locale's input method.
Nobody tries to communicates with only the English keyboard, b.c that is outright impossible (while in Swedish it's possible in worst cases).
- alkonaut 7y agoAs I said I wouldn't use Swedish language without a Swedish keyboard, even though it's quite possible (just 3 missing characters basically). What I'd do is switch to english language instead.

Hmm, I've never encountered situations when only English keyboard is available for communication (except for when someone is setting up a new Linux machine). But even if there is such situation, I don't think that would happen, I'm not sure if Swedish is similar to English but English is cognitive load here. Even with people that are proficient in English, I cannot imagine myself communicating with the English language. I remember myself resorting to online keyboards though(while setting up Linux).
- alkonaut 7y agoIn industry in Sweden, especially in tech, english is the language used. If you have a team of 10 Swedish developers working on an app, they will most certainly write all user stories/bug reports/specs/code comments etc in 100% english. The 11th person to join might be an english speaker so you can't afford to have your backlog or code in Swedish. The step to using english for email/chat then is very small.
