I have the same issue when trying to use Ukrainian keyboard layout in WSLg apps. Could you please add it?

@ParSal123, Persian keyboard layout is supported by https://github.com/microsoft/weston-mirror/pull/32, and it looks you are on very older version of WSL/WSLg, please update it from aka.ms/wslstorepage, thanks!

@RiccardoManzan, you need to one time manual update from aka.ms/wslstorepage, then newer version of wsl.exe will check update from Store. There is a plan to update Windows’s version of wsl.exe with Store version of wsl.exe, but it hasn’t been released to public yet. If you are on Windows’s insider program, then your wsl.exe should check update from Store, thanks!
