HOWTO setup different system language and keyboard layout?


Hi all,

Trying to setup my keyboard for spanish layout (spanish computer) in Ubuntu 11.10, I have turned on translation to spanish too (when available) So I have a mix now when i open certain menus.

It's not catastrophic but a bit bothering it is.

Could someone guide me, please?

like all things linux there a bunch of ways to (try) to do this

i think in xorg config under Section "InputDevice" you can put
Option "XkbLayout" "es"
or "la" for latinoamericano
and then if you want dvorak
Option "XkbVariant" "dvorak-intl"


or for dvorak you can do it like this
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "dvorak"
EndSection

you can also try under Section "InputDevice"
Option "Xkbmodel" "pc105"
Option "Xkblayout" "es"
Option "Xkbvariant" ""
Option "Xkboptions" ""

so many setups so little time
i know nothing about spanish keyboard so i post a few more for you to try
Option "Xkbmodel" "pc105"
Option "Xkblayout" "es"
Option "Xkbvariant" "cat"
Option "Xkboptions" "lv3:ralt_switch,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"

there is also
Option "Xkbvariant" "altgr-intl"

some combination of the above might be what you are looking for
