Mostly, I see no point in offering a keyboard layout for languages that do not have translations available for the installer at present. There have only been 5 translations provided for the installer. So, for example, I don’t think it is very likely that many people will choose English, German, Spanish, French, Dutch or Esperanto and be trying to use a Norske keyboard. Also, limiting the number of available choices will make it easier to select the correct layout from the menu. Instead having multiple pages of keyboard layout choices. Each of these screens will require translation into the appropriate languages. Finally, I will be using mkeyb to set the keyboard layouts. It only has roughly 30 or so languages. XKEYB is also installed and the user may change over to that for more choices.
