 Ive removed the block you entered.  Please do not put blocks on bugs you
 do not understand.  That bug is irrelevant and from a version WEEKS ago.
 The bug as it is entered here is that that 2008.8 does not have a keyboard
 that is usable for anything other than english SMS.  If you wish to raise
 something about a keyboard switcher, please raise a bug to detail THAT
 problem.  In the meantime, I hope you have not confused people so much
 they ignore this bug.
