UIWebView's keyboard is pretty cool with its next/previous and done buttons. However, I was not able to find and change the button titles. The titles are always in english no matter in which language the system is running.

Unless you have your own keyboard designed by you which overrides stock one, your unable to change stock keyboard language (it's taken from iOS language set via Preferences > General > International). – matm Jul 06 '11 at 14:11

I have been looking for the answer to this for a while for my PhoneGap based application, and at last I found the answer here: UIWebview Localization.
The clue is to set 'CFBundleAllowMixedLocalizations' to 'Yes' in your info.plist. That really made my day :)

You can set your own view on top of the keyboard. It is really easy after 3.2 and I have some sample code in this answer. That means you can use your own buttons and even set localized text there.
EDIT: That was a bad answer :) Sorry, I didn't see the 'mobile-safari' tag. But in my case, I also get localized versions of the keyboard previous/next buttons.

Stock keyboard's language is taken from iOS language setting (via Preferences > General > International).

I don't think this is true. The first thing I did was change the device language, but regardless of the region/language settings, the buttons always come up in English. I've been fighting with this on iOS 5.1, 6, and 7. Still don't have the solution... – Ampers4nd Nov 12 '13 at 00:30

Havard's answer and link are correct.l Changing the device language only works if you have set the correct flag in the Info.plist. – Ampers4nd Nov 12 '13 at 00:35
