The Oneiric Control Center allows the language to be set for a user when they are created. There is not a setting for keyboard, however as a computer has a single physical keyboard and the system layout will match it this doesn't seem to be a big issue (i.e. if a user wants to use a keyboard layout that does not match the keyboard they are probably advanced, and can select it from the control center with the mouse only). > > This is a _legal_ issue in certain multilingual countries where it's > unacceptable for a user to login to the wrong language and keyboard and > try and find a control panel setting to change the default. Could you elaborate on what this legal issue is? Note as above if the system administrator has correctly setup a user their language will be correct on login.
