    I changed keyboard to english US but WSA failed again. So it doesn't matter what keyboard language is set WSA always fails with the keylogger test file.

    Having said above and read what szaki2 says, we can conclude that Identity shield doesn't work properly on non english OS !!!

    @ PrevxHelp:
    In this relation I ask again ... if Identity shield wouldn't be working correctly are there other modules in WSA which should substitute the shield to secure you properly?

    I hope that's true !!! Otherwise WSA pretends you are safe what in fact wouldn't be true and our PCs would be vulnerable !!!

    Yes, the rest of WSA will still be protecting you. Keystrokes are a difficult scenario when dealing with non-latin-based OSs as many other languages require control characters and other modifiers which cause problems when filtering. Keyloggers are virtually never used by malware these days anyway and we already block keyloggers (even commercial keyloggers) from ever entering the system so you're largely just left with leaktests possibly being able to see keystrokes where we've intentionally whitelisted them.
