[CS-FSLUG] Internationalization Question - USA/South America

[Don Parris]

Hi all,

My wife bought her son a laptop here, and I set it up with Kubuntu 11.10,
before shipping it down to him in Peru.  It just occurred to me that I set
it up more for using in the US than in Peru.   I setup the standard US
English setup - and setup an alternate keyboard layout to use (US Intl
w/dead keys).  He can switch between US English and Spanish as necessary.
That part is great.

My question, though, is this: if he uses the KDE Locale utility in System
Settings to change his country to Peru, will this override the default
keyboard layout?  After all, he will be using a US keyboard, but needs all
the locale settings for Peru, such as numbers and money.  The laptop only
has US English installed as a language.  I did not install
Spanish/Castilian as a language - not sure exactly what effect that will
have.

Does anyone install two or more languages on their computer?

Thanks,
Don
