Comment 2 Matija Šuklje 2024-08-14 07:32:12 UTC 
I can confirm this on EndeavourOS (Arch) for 24.05.1 and the German Neo2 layout on Wayland.

Please see attached a screenshot that shows that the layout selected is indeed Neo, and still KTouch falsely claims that the correct layout is English (USA).
Comment 3 Wismill 2025-05-28 19:12:34 UTC 
I suspect that this is due to using the X11 API: https://invent.kde.org/education/ktouch/-/blob/35065a0b85b15c15fc42f205c1cbf265a30a3ee0/src/x11_helper.cpp#L227.

On Wayland, the layout *components* (layout, variant) are not set by KWin (nor any other compositor it seems).

The solution would be to use setxkbmap with the exact same config than set in Plasma config.
