Hi,
I would like to know how to change the default selected language of the keyboard depending of the current language of the site. I.e when a user switch to another language, the keyboard will switch to the current language. Is it possible?

Fixed it by doing:
- inside the .module file

function google_virtual_keyboard_init() {
global $language;
// some code
drupal_add_js(array('google_virtual_keyboard' => array('lang' => $language->language)), 'setting');
// some code

- then use the new setting value inside the .js file to load the keyboard according to the language:

Drupal.behaviors.google_virtual_keyboard = function (context) {
// some code
kblang = Drupal.settings.google_virtual_keyboard.lang;
  //Enable Google Virtual Keyboard
	if (kblang == 'es') {
	  keyboard = new google.elements.keyboard.Keyboard([google.elements.keyboard.LayoutCode.SPANISH],ids);
	} else if (kblang == 'fr') {
	  keyboard = new google.elements.keyboard.Keyboard([google.elements.keyboard.LayoutCode.FRENCH],ids);
	} else {
	  keyboard = new google.elements.keyboard.Keyboard([google.elements.keyboard.LayoutCode.ENGLISH],ids);
	}
});

There's surely a more elegant way to do this but for me it works.

A good job. I am wondering whether it would be possible to show the keys on the keyboard in the language of the keyboard. eg: would like to have french alphabets on the keys when I select French language.

Yes keys will be displayed in the same language as you selected. You can change language from Site Configuration > Google Virtual Keyboard.

Thanks.

Thanks for your fast response. But somehow the keyboard displayed on my screen always comes up with English letters on the keys. It does show a title over the keyboard in the selected language. Further if it is possible to show a separate key guide along with the keyboard, that would be great too.
