Transliteration Keyboards for Hindi with Azerty keyboard

I would need some help with the following issue concerning switching

between Azerty and Hindi keyboards.

I use an Azerty keyboard on my MacBook.

Since the most recent update (Ventura), I can no longer use Hindi

transliteration. Before the update, my source keyboard for Hindi

transliteration was based on azerty. But after the update, the Hindi

transliteration has been permanently set to qwerty.

While I can touch type relatively well in azerty, this is not at all the

case for me in qwerty which is the basis now for Hindi transliteration.

Using Devanagari - Qwerty is also not an option because the keyboard

layout is still azerty.

Are there any ways to revert back to Hindi with azerty transliteration?

Or this there another way to work around this?

Thank you for reaching out to me. Up until now, I've only had this one Azerty keyboard installed (for normal use), and Hindi Devanagari and Hindi transliteration for my Hindi classes.

I've also tried using an external Qwerty keyboard, but I had the same problem (the external qwerty keyboard mirrored what is installed by default = azerty).

Are you aware of other users with similar issues? What was their solution?


I was also wondering if removing the keycaps and switching them around (while then setting my default keyboard to qwerty) would be a solution. But I'm afraid of damaging the key caps and mechanisms in the process.

It is definitely a bad idea to try to switch key caps.


It's still not clear to me what you have on your list of Input Sources in system settings > keyboard > text input > edit > input sources. Make sure you have the French input source on the list in addition to the transliteration and devanagari input sources. Switch to French and then switch to transliteration. Does it do azerty then?
