Text Editing Hates You Too

It happens to my wife's German USB keyboard in Windows 10. One day it's working fine, the next day pressing Z outputs a Y and Ä outputs a semicolon. I've had tons of problems with Japanese input in Linux and Mac (but not in Windows).

Multilanguage support is a function of how many customers demand it, and aside from English and Japanese, there hasn't been enough economic incentive to take it seriously.

the windows issue might also be caused by accidentally pressing the hotkey (alt+shift i believe) to switch layouts. it's super easy to mis-trigger

This is the correct answer, if you have two keyboards configured it's not uncommon to switch between them accidentally.

It's win+space, and I regularly end up switched without pressing it. It triggers in error quite frequently.

"win key + space" lets you change the input method on windows

I have done that hundreds of times. I have not done it deliberately even once. It's like playing that U2 album on my phone.
