We can configure keyboard layout language in firmware settings. See the screenshot below

How can I get string name of this configured firmware keyboard layout in UEFI in form like "en_US" or "de_DE"?

I can use efilib or EDK-2

I doubt you can get a name like that (e.g. how would you tell the difference between "US Dvorak" and "US Qwerty" when they're both "`en_US`"?). There is a `EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL.GetKeyboardLayout()` function, but it's a little messy (it gives you the address of a structure and the offset of a description string in that structure) and I have no idea what the description strings look like. – Brendan May 12 '22 at 15:43
