Same issue with my sony telly. My language is already set to english. On screen keyboard doesnt appear when you hit the middle button on the remote. Thought it might be to do with keyboard so changed that from gboard to multi language keyboard in settings. Also turned on a virtual remote keyboard but still same issue. Cant believe this is even an issue! Surely everyone who connects on wifi has to get round this by downloading a phone app or plugging in a keyboard.
