Build Identifier: 

I switched my language/keyboard layout to German during the installation. When
partitioning the hard disk, I choose guided setup and choose 'use LVM' and
'encrypt'. I type my passphrase to encrypt the hard disk.
When I reboot and try to decrypt the hard disk, I have to enter my passphrase
with an English keyboard layout instead of the German one.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. During installation choose German as language and keyboard layout
2. Enable full disk encryption via guided setup for the hard disk and enable
LVM/full disk encryption
3.Use a passphrase with characters which have different positions in the
English and German keyboard layout
4. After installation finished reboot and try to enter the password as if the
German keyboard layout was used
Actual Results:  
Disk decryption fails if using the German keyboard layout. Disk decryption
works if typing the password as if the English keyboard layout was used.

Expected Results:  
My choice of keyboard layout from the installation should be honored when I
type my password to decrypt the hard disk after boot
