# Tests are failing during keyboard operations because the cloud device's keyboard language keeps switching between English and other languages, such as

Keyboard language settings cannot be fixed or changed manually, and they may [vary depending on the specific device](https://help.autify.com/mobile/docs/en/overview-of-cloud-based-real-device-support#device-setting) assigned at runtime.

Because of this, steps that involve tapping specific keys (such as "Return," "Delete," or "Done") may fail if the keyboard's input mode changes. For example, in the case shown below, the test was recorded assuming an English keyboard with a "Return" key. However, if the test runs on a device set to a Japanese keyboard, the "Return" key may not be found or recognized, leading to a failure.

In this case, you can try specifying the [XPath](https://help.autify.com/mobile/docs/tips-to-stabilize-element-selection-xpath-and-accessibility-id#xpath) for the specific key via the Scenario Editor or the [Page Source in Quick Element Update](https://help.autify.com/mobile/docs/quick-element-update#2-xpath%E3%82%92%E6%8C%87%E5%AE%9A-%E6%9B%B4%E6%96%B0-%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B). This often helps stabilize the test execution.
