UIWebview Localization

On a localized Iphone (Language set to Hebrew) when we view a webpage using safari and tap on an input field we get the keyboard up with the "Next/Previous/Done" buttons in Hebrew.

When we view the same webpage using a UIWebview embedded inside our application the "Next/Previous/Done" buttons are always in English.

We were thinking that we might need to add a translation file for those fields but we do not know the keys to use.

Any pointers on this?

Edit: Started a bounty to hopefully get some pointers.

In your info.plist you can set a value called CFBundleAllowMixedLocalizations, if you check that everything should be translated to the right localized language.

You seem to be knowledgable, but have you tried creating the UIWebView in Interface Builder, then create a localization on the .xib file?

It seems the right way to go, since the keyboard pops up without app intervention; Cocoa Touch is the one to handle that. I think those extra buttons are not part of the keyboard per se, but added by the WebView.
