I tried but the issue is a certain key press always return the same keyCode regardless of it’s language, so let’s say if I press ‘a’ then it returns keycode 65, if I switch the language to Russian and now pressing ‘a’ key suppose to generate other than 65 keyCode which translates to symbol ‘ф’ using String.fromCharCode to get actual typed letter.
