1.)change language settings to german
2.) check and it shows german keyboard is active in settings
3.) go to an area to type that allows auto correct (messaging is easiest)
4.) proceed to type in german


Actual results:

the phone started auto correcting to English words instead of German words 


Expected results:

auto correct should have started to correct in german instead of english

In 1.3 the auto correct dosent seem to even be working at all, 1.4 isnt working either, 2.0 isnt, 2.1 isnt, and i cant seem to get 2.2 to work either :delphine its not working in the simulator, i need a way to reset the simulators so i can get exact results.

I was able to check against 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 branches on Flame device and I cannot reproduce this. 
Which is why this leads me to think that this is a simulator specific bug.
Adding :ochameau as I think he was leading the simulator effort, to see if he can give any input about this.

Keyboard developers, any idea why the right dictionaries wouldn't be used on b2g desktop??
I verified, we do ship the dicts in keyboard's application.zip:
js/imes/latin/dictionaries/fr.dict
js/imes/latin/dictionaries/es.dict
js/imes/latin/dictionaries/pt_br.dict
js/imes/latin/dictionaries/de.dict
js/imes/latin/dictionaries/pl.dict
js/imes/latin/dictionaries/en_us.dict

I looked at keyboard codebase but wasn't able to see on which setting/navigator api keyboard is using to check which language to use.

okay I figure out what the problem was, the keyboard for English was on still... even know it was not the one in use, I fixed it just by disabling the English keyboard and it started to correct to German instead of English.
