As I commented in the task, I would like to request a reversal of the "Non-
Latin languages" renaming. On Android, we use exactly the same infrastructure 
for input of Latin-based languages. (Also, there are several non-Latin scripts 
that can use simple keyboard input on a desktop computer.) If we have to 
rename, I support Thiago's suggestion of "Complex input methods", possibly 
with a "text" or "language" thrown in.

[Apology in advance for small rant.]

In the future, could we please not rename components silently without warning?
This renaming effectively edited several of my tasks, making them misleading. 
As a bonus it also messed up my filters.
