different language external keyboard

Hey guys,


I'm trying to add an external keyboard in Turkish, but when I try adding/connecting it, it doesn't give me the option to add a Turkish keyboard. Instead, I get the options of English, Europe, and Japanese layouts.


Any idea how I can manually choose or get it to read as the correct language?

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14

Those options refer to the number of keys on the hardware. Turkish and other European keyboards use the "Europe" (ISO) option.


To have what is printed on the keys match what appears on the screen, you need to go elsewhere and add a Turkish input source as kaz-k mentioned.
