In the language and input settings there should be a way to correct that..

My question would be do you really need the bluetooth mouse on the tablet? Most likely the software is not designed to work with 2 input devices and as such is reading the bluetooth mouse AS the input device when it's connected so just the vkp is not available. IF you really feel you need the control of a mouse (or trackpad) there ARE bluetooth combo models out there that should work. Here's a popular one.....
