Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I would like to type in Maltese (using Maltese letters) from my iPad and iPhone.
Unfortunately, the Maltese langauge is not listed with the default European languages on iOS devices. What can I do?
Please add the Maltese language with all the other world languages.

I don't know for sure whether the extra characters required for Maltese (ċġħż) might all be available in the layout for another language or not. It would be kind of tedious to check. But there are a couple apps, Unicode Map and UniKey, which let you create a sort of custom keyboard layout using any Unicode characters which can be used for copy/paste, etc.
You should also search the app store on Maltese to see if anyone has created a keyboard for that for copy/paste or email, etc.
I have already written to them but unfortunately no one replied!
Thank you for your kind reply.
I have already searched the app store (iTunes) for Maltese but there are not any apps.
Ideally the Maltese language should be added in the list of default languages of iPad or else the app should be integrated into the main keyboard of iPad (and iPhone) so as to avoid having to write Maltese in an application and then copy it each time to the email/sms you want to send. This can be done by long pressing the keys, for instance.
Is there an online forum or a particular app developers' website dedicated to resources to read and write languages other than English on iOS devices?
Apple reads the feedback requests but does not dialogue with users about them, so you will not see any reply.
I run a blog devoted to resources for languages other than English, but I don't know of any app developer sites.
