I did a bit of research on this but found only one possible way to do this:
Create a list of either all the latin-based or all the non-latin-based layouts and check if the selected layout is on the list.
This is not ideal, because we would have to keep the list up to date if new layouts are added. And maybe it would be better to solve this somewhere else than in Tails. But it wouldn’t be too much maintenance work because I don’t think there will be too many new layouts. What do you think?
Meta: I noticed I kind of hijacked this issue, which is actually a subtask of a bug already solved. Should I create a new issue for this?

Indeed, it feels wrong to have this open as a subtaks of Bug #7912. If it’s still useful in itself, unparent/reparent it? (Or ask me to if Redmine doesn’t want you to do it.)

Removing parent task as this seems unrelated.
What is this ticket about exactly? Why do we need to detect the keyboard layout? Can somebody please clarify this? I see https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/11048#note-4 as a reason.
Anyhow, the remaining question is: is this still relevant?

Not exactly, see See Bug #7912#note-6. But at this point the parent/subtask relationship was wrong, indeed.

That reason still seems valid to me.
