I don't think the wireless keyboard feature really supports languages other than English yet.

Apple TV is different, language capabilities are very inferior to iphone/ipad.

I think language not to be a problem, I try to connect iPhone using app remote to type on youtube search in Apple TV it's work, the problem will be apple tv box firmware not fully support wireless keyboard. Will need update.

I think it does fully support wireless keyboard, but only for English. As Apple tells you in the link I gave you earlier: "Apple TV uses the U.S. English keyboard layout regardless of the keyboard's hardware layout"

Hopefully they will fix it in the future.
