Physical layout is mostly irrelevant, different keycap label arrangements use the same keycodes - the input system in your OS or application uses a keyboard layout to translate those into what you want to type.

Windows, macOS and the various input libraries on Linux provide ways to query the key map - and a number of games do use this to provide localized bindings (Ubisoft and Blizzard are notorious for doing this right, something I appreciate as a dvorak user who hates dealing with rebinding or constantly having to toggle layouts). As far as the browser there is coming support for reading the keyboard layout as well: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Keyboard/ge...
