Help Unwanted arabic font with physical keyboard

Hi I hope this message find you all well.

I am new to Android, so please bear with me. It so happens that whenever I open the physical keyboard I can only type arabic characters. I have tried unselecting the arabic language and changing between "motorola keyboard" and "Mobidiv keyboard" to no avail.

It does not happen with the on-screen keyboard, that one is working fine.

Its ridiculous, I am writing just fine on-screen, I open the keyboard and the arabic characters start appearing.

Any help will be appreciated, thank you.

Where are you located? It's hard coded into the firmware. Flash with RSDLite with your local firmware and that should correct the issue!

But it was working just fine until yesterday .... Somehow some setting changed or something and now I can't put it back to normal.

Sorry don't know what to tell ya. I got that right off the Motorola site.

If it was a setting change I can look around for you in a while... Maybe someone will post the answer by then! ;)

Well what do you know? Turned it off, took off the battery for about a minute, popped it back in, powered up and its good now.

I wonder what is was, hope it doesn't make me do that every few days.

Thank you for your prompt answer =)
