Hello, Just for sharing, I'm currently using the keyboard layout "Canadian French" (txt file from Floris board) to be able to type in multilanguage by setting-up the main language in French with subtype English and others languages I use regularly. For your "English Canada" request, unless you want to wait for specific language input selection in the menu, you could adjust the current configuration to meet your need with a Canadian multi layout and English (GB or other) as main. And switch later your config and personal dictionary to the "Canada" one when it would have been added, as it is currently labelled as bug.

To be honest, I don't even know why en_AU or en_IN is in the app. There are only dictionaries for en_US and en_GB, and all English subtypes use the default QWERTY layout anyway.

Agreed with previous message from @Helium314 about all the different localisation for the same base language, same as for French, like french swiss, or Spanish variant as well. Even if I could understand the will of specific language localisation. However, a Canadian Multilanguage Standard keyboard layout -CMS- could be a nice addition in the default packaged application for bilingual input typing.

Edit: quote reference user fix

With the recent add of en_CA dict, I can have a personal dictionary for English Canada now! Thank you @Helium314 🙏

But there's still the matter of the default language showing as English Australia with no option to select English Canada`. Would be good to have that selection added! Especially if we've added the dictionary to the keyboard (maybe that's a separate thing tho).
