Description

German Keyboard on iOS devices and the keyboard mapping as such is working - it realizes a German Keyboard, but the letters Y and Z are inverted (like on English). 

Resolution

1. On the VDA, apply the following registry change
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Citrix\PortICA\Keyboard]
"InputLangChangeRequestEnable"=dword:00000001

2. Log off and Log on for it to take effect.

Note:- This may result in a login delay of 60 seconds.

Problem Cause

The input language is set on a per-application basis hence we are required to use the above registry key as a workaround.
