I want to know the current input method the user is typing in such as En (english), German, Chinese, etc… Maybe keyboard type is what I am after, but documentation seems limited on this subject from Apple doc.
Thank you!

In iOS4.2 there is a new class UITextInputMode that is exactly what you want.
(Oops, this is still under NDA. If you have no iOS dev center account please don’t read this answer 😉 )
You can query current mode (English, French, Japanese, etc) or get notifications when it changes (the keyboard language changes)
