Unfortunately no proper way at the moment. Should implement support for
that interface at some point, though.


Bad hacky way is checking sailfish/text_input/active_layout dconf value
and inferring locale from qml file name. No guarantees on keeping it
that way and doesn't work with hardware keyboards.
