There is an icon to trigger the virtual keyboard. With a physical keyboard shown, it’ll show either in the lower right corner of the display, or will show across the bottom of the display. The larger of the two is shown below. There’ll be a two-character language code in a bubble. Tap that.


If there is a hardware keyboard and it’s somehow not working, try removing it.


I’ve also met a few cases where the virtual keyboard won’t activate and the screen locked/frozen/unresponsive, and one potential fix is to use the buttons to force a restart ➡️ If your iPad won't turn on or is frozen - Apple Support
