Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, method, and program product for dynamically updating an input language of a smart physical keyboard. A local computer receives an indication that a remote session has been started, where starting the remote session includes the local computer accessing a remote computer. The local computer determines a keyboard input language for the remote session. The local computer then updates one or more keys of a smart physical keyboard to display the keyboard input language for the remote session.
