When will Apple Pencil be able to transfer handwritten Swedish into text on iPad in Notes?

I have used Notes for several years now and I love it. I take notes on my computer during business meetings and they are searchable. Sometimes the computer "disturbs" the quality of the conversations in the meeting. I would be more comfortable using something more like a notebook like an iPad.


So I want to buy an iPad, an Apple Pencil to take manual notes and transfer them into searchable text. The problem is that it doesn´t support Swedish. Big disappointment.


Do you know if there are any plans for Swedish?
