Changing keyboard language permanently

When I bought my used Mac Pro, I unfortunately set it up in USA Extended English, but I live and work in Italy, so every day, every time I restart the computer, I have to change the keyboard language, otherwise it doesn't recognize all the accents etc. etc. Every day, many times a day, change the language, throw out the original setting IUSA Extended and every time I restart... bam, there it is again and it hasn't remembered my Italian keyboard. I'm pretty tired of changing the keyboard settings every day, every time I restart. Is there a way of resetting the language of the computer without reinstalling EVERYTHING?
Thanks a million!

Have you gone to system preferences/keyboard/input sources and removed the US Extended keyboard?

OSX Mountain Lion change keyboard language after reboot

My native language is Portuguese, and since the 10.8.1 update, every time I reboot my computer, the keyboard language goes from Portuguese to English.
I set it again to Portuguese and after a reboot or if I shutdown the computer and start again, its english again.
This bug is very annoying, because all the layout changes. Does anyone have this problem or know how to fix it?

I'm also have the same issue. I use the Spanish ISO keyboard settings. Every time I reboot or logout the USA keyboard appears again.
As rmz83 I only have check the Spanish ISO in system preferences/language & text/input sources on OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
Anyone knows how to solve this problem??

Change keyboard language without the globe key

If it's at all possible, how can I change the language of my keyboard on my iPhone from English to Korean (I have the two keyboards installed and ready to use) without using the globe key to switch between the two? I find it very tedious to have to switch from English to Korean by tapping the globe key then tapping it again to switch back. Is there a way to change the setting or can I download an app to help with this? Sorry if my question doesn't make sense but that's the best way I can explain.

I think the answer is "no".
What exactly do you envision that would somehow be easier than tapping the globe key?

HT4509 Keyboard language - permanent indication on space bar

On my iPhone, the chosen language is indicated all the time on the space bar. Not so on the space bar of my iPad, only when languages are changes. I would like it to be indicated permanently, too. How do I do that? Thanks!

Where (what app) do you see it "permanantly" indicated on the iPhone? It doesn't in Safari, Mail, Pages or Messages
My iPod with iOS 6 shows the word "space" permanently on the space bar in the language of the keyboard for Mail, Pages, Safari, Notes, etc. I think that is what he is referring to. Your iphone doesn't do that?

Change Keyboard Language in Windows Login page

Is there someone WHO can help with a solution to a multilanguage Windows 8.1 image i'm testing at the moment.
My problem is in the login window, where i can't find a solution to set the keyboard languge trough GPO or Registry.
I have tried to set the language in the registry:
HKEY_Users\.default\Keyboard LAyout\Preload: 1 = reg_sz to 00000406 (Danish language code), but this does not Work and then i have tried to set the same in S-1-5-18/19 and 20, but nothing helps.
The GPO for setting language inside Windows Works fine, but i really need to also get the login window to use the same language, as someone is using some special charater and they can't find them, when the login window is using United Kingdom keyboard and
not the local language.
I have search the net for a solution, but the only solution i can find, is to manually go in to the control panel > Region > Administrative > Copy Settings by choosing manually to use the same language with the "Welcome screen and system
accounts.
There most be someone else in the same situations, where they want this set Automatic, so i can use the multilanguage image around the World?
Really hope someone has the solution to this.... :-)
Additional information is that i have made the image by using DISM to integrate the language pack to both the boot.wim and the install.wim and have set the United kingdom to the default language.

Hi,
First,it seems that we can customize a image (use the same language with the "Welcome screen and system accounts) to test it.
Meanwhile,I suggest you follow the link to check the result.

How can i disable Illustrator from changing my language / keyboard layout.

I have an azerty laptop and a qwerty external keyboard. Switching from any application to illustrator changes the language and therefore also my keyboard layout. No other application does this.

Thanks for the reply Mike
But i have a laptop with azerty layout (Belgian) and an external qwerty keyboard (Brittish).
So i need both languages selected in the System Pref >> Keyboard >> Input source
When "Brittish" is selected and i switch from Apple Mail to Photoshop to Skype to Chrome to ... it all works fine.
Only when i switch to Illustrator it also changes my language/layout from "Brittish" to "Belgian" and stays like that. I need to manually change it back in the menu in Finder.
I like the brittish better (with a qwerty keyboard) because of the shortcuts (eg. sqare brackets -> shortcuts for order in Illustrator are not even on an azerty (Belgian) keyboard).
Any idea?

Keyboard language changed only in Firefox not other programmes

I have Firefox in English but I use a Spanish keyboard, meaning some keys like question marks or quotation marks are in different places, there are accents, a key for ç, etc. It has always worked normally but today, while the keyboard is working correctly with all other programmes in Firefox it works as if the settings were changed to an English (I think) keyboard.
I don't have that problem with Chrome though, it's just Firefox. How is that possible (add question mark here, I can't guess what key I'im supposed to use for it).
I haven't changed anything in the settings, so the only possibility could be some kind of shortcut I've accidentally pressed, even though I don't know how that's even possible, as I assumed you can't have several keyboard language settings selected at the same time depending on the programme you're using.
I type in different languages so this is terribly annoying! Thanks for any help.

It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident by using the key sequence to rotate the layout.
* http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258824 - How to change your keyboard layout
Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application and you may have changed the keyboard layout by accident via a keyboard shortcut.
* http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306993 - HOW TO: Use the Language Bar in Windows XP
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/The-Language-bar-overview The Language bar (overview)
Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar
* You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar
* Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar
* You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application
* The default key combination to rotate the layout is the Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift combination that is used in Firefox for menu items, so it is quite possible to change the layout accidentally.
* To avoid an unintentional switch, assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift)
* Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Keyboards and Languages > Change keyboards > Advanced key settings > Change key sequence

Change Keyboard Layout, But Keep Language

I have a MacBook with USA keyboard layout.
While installing, by mistake i selected Latin American keyboard.
Now, i want my language to still be "Spanish/Argentina", but they keyboard layout should be USA.
How can i do that? Note that I don't want to have many input keyboards and then have to switch between latin and english language.

I don't see an option to change "keyboard layout" only.
Do you really not see the Tab called Input Menu under system preferences/international? There are boxes to check for keyboard layouts, and one is called US.
Another Tab is called Language, and there you can put Spanish (actually Español) at the top to keep your OS in Spanish.
Another Tab, in the middle, is called Formats.
PS If you want to type Spanish with the US layout, you can use the Option/Alt key shortcuts. A list can be found here:
