If you currently don't have the keyboard language you desire at the Full Disk Encryption Pre-Boot screen, you can use our 'BootloaderKeyboardManager' to add it.

To find what keyboard map you're curently using, check the bottom left corner of the Pre-Boot screen. In our example, the keyboard map is currently set to US.

Please see our article below for a full list of supported keyboard maps and languages:
