iPadOS Swedish keyboard keys are English

ipados 26.3 swedish keyboard stopped working. I have deleted all the keyboards and added English and Swedish keyboards again but the keyboard is still English even after I have chosen the Swedish using the globe key. The Swedish keyboard shows up as an option but the keys are still English. I have also restarted the iPad, but with the same result. Any solutions?

iPad Air (4th generation)

Depends on how you added the keyboard.


If you merged the English and Swedish keyboards the labels on the keys on the onscreen keyboard will remain in English.


If you want a separate Swedish keyboard with the correct key labels then remove Swedish from the unified keyboard in Keyboard settings and add it as a separate keyboard, ("Add New Keyboard" option rather than "Add to Existing Keyboard") this will allow you to select the Swedish / Finnish layout.
