If you want to create a new language onscreen keyboard, you should upload all three types of input method files at
a time. For the example above, you should upload “keyboard_lang.xml”, “keyboard_ime_francais.xml” and “key-
board_layout_francais.xml” files at a time.

method file for multiple languages.
