    And I'm going to choose an alphabet that is very different to that of the Latin alphabet
    .
    And here we have Georgian, which is a very beautiful and cryptic alphabet. So we click the cross next to Georgian to open up the subsection which is Keyboard.

    And we're going to click on Georgian QWERTY
    .
    QWERTY means this type of keyboard because as you see it starts with Q, W, E, R, T, Y. These letters are represented here in QWERTY. So that is the correct language for this type of keyboard.
