Antoine I had this problem with Manjaro. My keyboard was always in us layout when I typed the passphrase. I didn't find how to change the layout at that moment. So my small advice for all Western people (latin language) on Linux is:

Buy a US keyboard
Use this keyboard layout -> English (US, intl., with dead keys)

You can type in French, Spanish, Italian, German, etc... The shortcuts on this picture are wrong (I often have to replace CTRL by Alt Gr).

Did you try changing it in Keyboard Preferences? Either open it from menus, or by typing mate-keyboard-properties in a terminal window. This worked for me with a Norwegian keyboard in MATE.
