Add French Canadian keyboard. Because: 1. French Canadian 2. Bug 1049514 and bug 1046036 - I use fr-CA layout as a workaround on Android. No need on iOS. Note: this is just a keyboard layout. Autocompletion is French.

Comment on attachment 8474585 [details] Link to Github pull-request: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/pull/22997 This seems to be based on an old version of English layout, please help rebase to see the latest update. Specifically, if you need to define "alternateLayout" section, it has to define a special structure for ',' key, see https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/blob/master/apps/keyboard/js/layouts/en.js#L70 But, maybe for fr-CA, we don't have to define alternateLayout, so that it could reuse the default one. In general, we would need to customize this if you need localized currency symbol.

See bug 1049514 and bug 1046036 that describe what the problem is. > It won't auto-correct the word in French even when you're using English > layout? iOS will. I can switch language WITHOUT switching layout at least using a locale. Language != layout. At least you can dissociate it. The only reason I care about the "fr-CA" layout it is because it is much like the "en" layout - but I can have autocompletion in French. It seems to be, for me an easier fix. I doubt our BD or partners care about the French Canadian market otherwise.

It is based on commit 35a279f09c0a074b30bd5ac398081b5e5691256b Date: Fri Aug 1 08:07:06 2014 +0530 Let's see if I missed anything in a week.

This solve only the case of "I want to type French with the keyboard I type English with".

I forgot the comment: "Added French Canadian to the available keyboard layouts". This is of course conditional to having the layout built in.
