Use a keymap (one of those distributed with Vim, or an own-coded one
using |mbyte-keymap|), and set 'keymap', if your keyboard normally sends
Latin text (e.g. at the shell prompt, which also expects ASCII), and you
want to change the interpretation for Insert mode (and the operands of r
t f etc.). Use 'langmap' if your keyboard normally sends non-Latin text
(Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, whatever) and you want to change the
interpretation in Normal and Command-line modes. For RTL languages
additional steps are required to make Vim ready, see |hebrew.txt|,
|farsi.txt| and |arabic.txt|.
For CJK, of course, you would use a full-fledged Input Method.
Best regards,
Tony.

This is the story of the bee
Whose sex is very hard to see
You cannot tell the he from the she
But she can tell, and so can he
The little bee is never still
She has no time to take the pill
And that is why, in times like these
There are so many sons of bees.
