A keyboard layout determines which character or action is associated with each key. The physical keyboard may look similar across devices, but regional layouts can assign different characters to the same position.
How it works
QWERTY is common in many English-language environments. AZERTY is used in French-speaking regions, while QWERTZ is common in German-speaking regions. Korean Hangul layouts map consonants and vowels to keys. Japanese and Chinese commonly use input method editors that convert phonetic sequences into written characters.
Practical tips
Before practising a non-English layout, check the active input language on your device. A website can display a visual guide and respond to key events, but it cannot silently change your operating-system keyboard settings.
