You've never heard of remote logins?  (Altho I don't know at which end of 
the protocol the translation is done.)

I'm more familiar with chinese input mechanisms than french keyboards. You 
can imagine how it would be difficult to log in with a password in chinese 
if you didn't have the appropriate input drivers available from the login 
screen.
