Keyboard configuration is software based. Markings on the keys just make
it easier to find the acute accent, accent grave, cedilla, circumflex,
caron, ¿ ¡ , etc. What do you do with the French keyboard if you decide

Also, They will need a converter for the power. U.S. voltage is 120V.
In Europe it is 240V.
