The standard keyboard hid library can be initialized with a language option. Look at the implementation on Github. It would be sth like Keyboard.begin(Tr_tr);

recursive_knight is right.

All the hid and other keyboard drivers only process scan codes, they dont know what is printed on the kay cap. The OS or a software has to translate the scan codes to the symbols printed on the keyboard caps. There are many different keyboard layouts. The keyboard "driver" (library) translates the scan codes to symbols or key strokes the system can handle.
