Found it!

Check your language setting:

`localectl status`

Then edit the Weston configuration file — for `sd`, follow [this link](https://discourse.ubuntubudgie.org/t/26-04-tip-2-how-to-launch-graphical-applications-in-sudo-mode/8556) :

`sd gedit /etc/weston.ini`

… and add these two lines, adjusting the language setting as needed:

```auto
[keyboard]
keymap_layout=fr

```

Reboot.
