Factorio Forums

It is a simple problem for a long time until the Steam-launching when it becomes an awful player experience.
For those players from non-English speaking regions, if their default input method is not English, like Simplified Chinese, any keys input by keyboard in Factorio will be invalid.
Experienced players usually toggle their input method to English manually, but new players usually consider this a terrible bug and therefore give some negative comments in Steam.
I believe that toggling to English input method forcely after game initializing can be a good choice

I'm not sure how feasible it is, as the game runs on three different operating systems. Having a system that can change keyboard layout on all three sounds like too much work... But I don't know - maybe it's much more simple than I imagine

Maybe making it so that with localization comes a standard keyboard layout would be a good idea : If I pick Simplified chineese, hop ! logical keybind on a chineese keyboard. Same thing with german, French, and many others.
