Support for language hints in TextFields #163698

@Pomis

Description

@Pomis

Use case

In native Android development, it is possible to hint at what language to use in the onscreen keyboard. Seems like Flutter does not support this feature, however, this is a very convenient feature, especially for language-learning apps

Proposal

Add a localeHint property to TextField:

TextField(
  hintLocales: ["et_EE"],
)
