when I want to write my password to decrypt my system, this one is in qwerty, can you tell me what would be the procedure to have my keyboard in azerty if possible.

As this is a “full disk encryption”-scheme which includes /boot, I’m sorry to say, there’s no easy way to change the default keyboard layout from US-qwerty at this early stage in the boot process. At this stage solely grub and not our initramfs/kernel is in charge.

You have two viable options:

1. You’ll just have to memorize and input the appropriate qwerty keys for your password, -or-
2. change the pw, or add another password to something that works in both layouts.

Sorry,
