Not displaying the arabic keyboard

I am implementing a multilinqual application, there i have search funtionlity. In that i have placed uitextfiled.

When i change the language to arabic , and was testing the app. i found that particular uitextfield is always showing the english keyboard and not the arabic one.

The Phone language is set to arabic , but in the uitextfield it always shows the english keyboard. how is this happening?

below is my code

NSString *strPoemName = NSLocalizedString(@"Poem Name", @"Poem Name TextField");
           self.txtFieldPoemName = [[[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 0, 270, 40)]autorelease];
            [self.txtFieldPoemName setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:14.0]];
            self.txtFieldPoemName.autocapitalizationType = UITextAutocapitalizationTypeNone;
            self.txtFieldPoemName.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
            self.txtFieldPoemName.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentCenter;
            self.txtFieldPoemName.placeholder = strPoemName;
            self.txtFieldPoemName.delegate = self;
            self.txtFieldPoemName.clearButtonMode = UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing;
            self.txtFieldPoemName.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeySearch;
            [cell.contentView addSubview:self.txtFieldPoemName];

Just in case someone stumbles upon this problem again:

This is caused by setting the UITextField keyboardType property to UIKeyboardTypeASCIICapable instead of UIKeyboardTypeDefault.

Just make sure you do have set the value for "Poem Name" in Arabic localized Strings. May be because of that it would be showing only english keyboard.
