@praveens96 What do you mean with

the original project

?

[praveens96]

what i see from demo.html is that, use-keyboard is being used for changing the keyboard. when i pass a language name or code as in the original project's file its not reflecting.
for ex: for getting the telugu keyboard, if i give use-keyboard="Telugu" or use-keyboard="Tl" is not showing keyboard in telugu.

where as in original project there is if you pass this way, telugu keyboard will be shown. i want to achieve that. can you help me with that? and i am trying to use it in an ionic 3 application i.e. angular 4 app.

[praveens96]

partially got it.
now need to see how to use it inmy angular 4 app.
this is what i have done:

  <md-input-container flex>
               <label>Use default keyboard</label>
               <input type="text" class="md-input" ng-model="text" use-keyboard="Telugu">
           </md-input-container>

in js:
added keyboard layout telugu.

$mdKeyboardProvider.addLayout('Telugu', {
                    'name': "Telugu",
                    'keys': [
                        [

You really should have a look at the new project: ngx-material-keyboard.
