THAT's a really good question ! Not sure my answer is the best one:
if you
put URL "file:/library/preferences/com.apple.HIToolbox.plist" into tKeyboard
the variable tKeyboard will contain something like:
bplist00fl
"#$%&+-./_AppleNumberResID_AppleItlbNumber_ApplePreviousInputSource]AppleItlbKeys]Keyboard
Menu_AppleSelectedInputSources^AppleDateResID_ AppleCurrentAsciiInputSource_'AppleCurrentKeyboardLayoutInputSourceID]AppleItlbDate_AppleEnabledInputSources_AppleInputSourceHistory_AppleKeyboardScript_AppleCurrentInputSource_ AppleDefaultAsciiInputSource^AppleTimeResID—WsmRoman—?ˇ”_InputSourceKind_KeyboardLayout
Name_KeyboardLayout ID_Keyboard Layout\Swiss French—— Vkcfg
0Ot W fl W ‡ G P
I \ ?¨ ?≠ ?Ø ?Æ °!”—”_ com.apple.keylayout.SwissFrench—¢'*”()VFrench”°,”””— + > P k y á £ ≤ — ˚
$>Tnçúüß©¨Ø∂»fiÚ ïóû°®
Õ–◊fi‡ÁȘ˛ 0
you can drop the unnnecessary things by
delete char 1 to (offset("apple.keyLayout.",tKeyboard) of tKeyboard
delete char (offset("—",-1)) of tKeyboard
... and tKeyboard should contain "SwissFrench" (on my Mac, at least)
I'm to lazy to check what mean the remaining stuff; perhaps something useful...

traduttore tradittore... in the context of your post, I would translate
1. Pox a right pox: une vraie saloperie
2. Willies it gives me the willies: ça me fiche les jetons
3. Silly Buggers bougres de cinglés (bougre - and bugger) originally
means bulgarian, eh, eh...
4. Snuggle down camouflé sous
and may you all curse me for the hoofdpijn . . . :) ???? I'm giving up !
