Hi @Nikolai_Lebid,

Someone else had this issue, and there might be a possible solution here:

> [@Input error of Cyrillic letters - Android](http://forum.katalon.com/t/input-error-of-cyrillic-letters-android/20136/4):

> Hi @remix4you, You might be able to switch to a unicode keyboard like this: Add this import to the top of your test: import com.kms.katalon.core.configuration.RunConfiguration Before the startApplication line of your test, add these lines: RunConfiguration.setMobileDriverPreferencesProperty("unicodeKeyboard", true) RunConfiguration.setMobileDriverPreferencesProperty("resetKeyboard", true) Hope this helps, Chris

You can then use the `Mobile.sendKeys()` function to sent Cyrillic input into a text field.

Hope this helps,

Chris
