I installed and have been using a custom HU layout as default since I got the phone. The only two I have enabled are HU and EN. The keyboard stopped displaying altogether after the update in all apps, had to set default back to EN to make it display again.

The HU layout is not offered anymore as a quick switch option, but the keyboard language itself is listed in System > Text Input > Keyboards.

I tried setting the default back to HU again, but it's ineffective, but at least the EN is displayed nevertheless.

I assume the primary root cause is the incompatibility of the HU layout but I found it a bit frustrating that I had no keyboard at all and that the keyboard being defunct is not flagged in the System app.

Try restarting the keyboard service, either by typing this into Terminal; systemctl --user restart maliit-server.service or download Sailfish Utilities from Jolla Store, which contains an option restart the keyboard service. If that makes no difference, report back. Perhaps removal of the HU keyboard (which I assume you installed via the Warehouse app) and reinstalling might also help, if you do this, restart the keyboard service as described above.

It's probably broken because of the keyboard format change (it happened to Czech custom keyboards too). Try to contact the author of the translated keyboard or if you are brave and skilled enough, diy. Community could probably help if you provide source of the custom keyb.

Thank you both, I think I added it manually fgoing by maemo.org, I'll look into the layouts and the qmls. Is it possible to have multiple alternative layouts for a certain language? The other feature I've been badly missing are arrows. Found a HU one but it's 2 years old, might not work, but I'll give it a go.
