Then, all of this must be explained to the user, plus the current keyboard layout must be explicit and the user should easily be able to switch from a layout to another (for example, when I read english, I prefer having an english keyboard, even if physically it's an azerty -french- one...) > 2010/10/25 Thorsten van Lil <[email protected]>: >> -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- >> Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im >> Auftrag von atilla ontas >> >>> I propose to implement an Ubuntu like, install time or in live >>> enviroment language packs installing.
