Help Assistant spot/resolve possible reason for problems: keyboard language layout mismatch

(Note: currently travelling w/o PC, so unable to take screenshot or test)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When Assistant receives a call from Assisted, the hello message contains which OS Assisted is running on. This enables Assistant to display the relevant [boss] key after the user of Assistant has accepted to connect.

A known limitation is using different keyboard language layouts. Therefore keyboard language layout is shown in bottom info row of both apps.

However, it could be helpful to tell Assisted to further help reduce problems due to this issue.

Describe the solution you'd like

1. Hello message to also contain the keyboard language of Assisted
2. If the keyboard language is different from Assistant, then Assistant adds an extra sentence in the pop up window that is displayed for the Assistant user to accept the connection: "Note! Assisted is currently using a different keyboard language layout. If you experience problems, please ensure you are using the same on both computers."

Describe alternatives you've considered

• I have not been able to test if this function is already implemented
• I am unsure if the hello message is received before the pop up window is shown to Assistant user.

Additional context Anything helping the Assistant not to spend time on error-finding in the Dayon! Setup should be useful.

Yes, as I already altered the hello message for the next release to be able to toggle Win-/Cmd-key on the assistant side, it would probably be good moment to add the input locale as well. (as it has to distinguish how the hello message is read anyway) Currently it only shows a dialog if the assisted encounters a keyboard error:

Warning
The program has encountered a keyboard error. Details : %s
You should use the same input language on both computers.
