Default Change Software Keyboard Layout

Hi!

I've searched through forum and wiki, but it seems that this question always revolves around the Hermes Hardware Keyboard.

I've installed Schaps WWE English 4.30 WM6 ROM, and it works really great, the hardware slide-out keyboard is also in the desired layout (german QWERTZ) for me, and I don't mind the english OS otherwise... except:

The soft keyboard for entering text with the stylus has the english QWERTY layout.

It's not a huge issue, since I prefer typing with the hardware keyboard anyway, but I was just wondering if it was possible to use a german-layout SOFT keyboard on an english ROM, and how that would be done. Is there any way to do it, or is the soft keyboard tied to the OS language version?

(all the references I've found via forum search, wiki and Google seem to all revolve around the hardware, not the software keyboard)

Thanks in advance!
