Language layout of the keyboard?!? What means western spanish???

Hey guys.
I'm from germany and I'm going to move to the united states next year. At the moment I'm not sure if I should buy my new macbook in germany or wait and buy it next year in the us. The problem is the language of the keyboard. I'd still like to have a german layout of the keyboard. There is an option in the us apple store where you can change between "us english" and "western spanish". now my question is: means "western spanish" the german (european) version of the keyboard with "y" at the lower left of the keyboard? If it means then I'm willing to wait with buying my new macbook til I moved to the states.
Thanks for quick answers
Jules

See this thread for a description of the differences between the U.S. English and Western Spanish keyboards, including a link to a picture of a Western Spanish keyboard.

[SOLVED] Four layouts on the keyboard

Hello everyone!
I am looking for the best way to manage keyboard layouts. I type on four
different languages (English, Russisch, Deutsch, Français), so I need these
accent and umlaut letters on the keyboard (apart from the different alphabet).
And it is a bit annoying sometimes to press Ctrl+Shift several times trying
to find the right keyboard layout.
Could anyone please suggest how layout switching can be achieved with
two or three different keys combination, so that each combination change layout
to some particular one.
The solution via the Xorg parameters is preferable (I remember there was some
configuration in Xfce DM but I don't use Xfce anymore).
I apologise if this question is a stupid one. Please let me know if it is.
Thanks for the help.

Here is one solution, via creating the script with setxkbmap

You need to work on making more complete description of the problem. This is the best description of the problem so far. The information in the title should be in the post too.
from an earlier message:

let's use disk utility to verify the disk & repair permissions.
Verify a disk
As an alternative, you can verify that the filesystem on the disk is correct. You will not be able to repair the file system.
I suggest that you use disk utility to verify that your startup disk is OK.
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
Start up disk utility. On the left pane view, you will see a list of all your disks.
Click on your startup disk.
Click on the First Aid Tab.
Click on verify.
Hopefully your disk will verify. If not, you have to boot from your installation DVD and run Disk Utility from there to attempt to repair your file-system.
Now use disk utility to fix up the permissions.
At some time you should reboot.

My computer is off and set up on Japanese. I can not login anymore because I type the password in English but the keyboard was set up last in Japanese language.how can I change the language by using the keyboard only so that I can write in English my pass

Hi
My computer was shut down. It was set on Japanese Hiragana language before shutting down. Now I want to login with my password in English. Yet, teh keyboard was set in Japanese and thus, I can not login anymore. How can I reset/change from Hiragana Japanese mode to Englsih ( US) with some shortcuts on my keyboard?
thank you

Try Apple/Command + space.
For the future, go to system prefs/accounts/login items and check the box for Show Input Menu on Login Screen.

What command can be run from the cmd to inquire about the language layout that is used right now?

I have windows 7 32bit platform. Is there any command that can be run from the command line just to inquire about the language bar that is currently in use? Suppose I have English keyboard on my machine but I am switching between 3 languages when I write
my documents (e.g. English, German, Spanish). I want to know if there is any way to tell what language layout that is in current use as seen in the language bar. This question is not about how to change language layout from the command line -- just to know
what layout. For example, the command can return some sort of string to indicate which layout is currently in use: "english", "german", "spanish", and so on.
My ultimate goal from this question is to pass this output into an external editor that will hopefully change font based on the input language? Any help to achieve this goal will be much appreciated.
Or put differently, what is the best way to tell an external editor like Emacs about the current language layout that is in current use?

For the current input language you can try using
reg query "HKCU\Keyboard Layout\Preload" /v 1
The return value includes an eight digit hex value. The first four digits indicate either default layout for the language (all zeros) or a variation (non-zero). The last four digits are the locale id - see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb964664.aspx
From this table, you can see in the example above my input language is English - Australia.
For the keyboard layout you could try
WMIC Path Win32_Keyboard Get Layout
0409 is an English - US keyboard.

What is the keyboard on N97 Mini 0585087

Hello!
If somebody has an N97 Mini with product code 0585087, 0585116 or 0591946 (they are the EMEA_SWISS variants), can you tell me what keyboard it has? QUERTY? Or QUERTZ?
Thanks in advance,
Gilles.

Hi!
OK. Understood. The reason why I ask is that my phone is PC 0591929 and was a Swiss (QWERTZ) keyboard (it is refered on the list as Country Variant Switzerland CH), and the latest firmware available for it is 10.0.20.
For the PC 0585087, the latest firmware is 11.0.45, which is what I would like to upgrade to... but that phone isn't listed as Switzerland CH, rather it is listed as EMEA_SWISS_QW, which might imply QUERTY keyboard rather than QUERTZ.
Since on the N97 Mini, the keyboard is hardware layout, I don't want to upgrade to a firmware which would change the layout of the keyboard compared to what is physically my phone's layout...

Can you replace the keyboard of a MacBook Pro without replacing the logic board?

I had a bit of water damage on my MacBook Pro. I took it to the IT department, and he got the computer to work. The logic board and hard drive were intact. Here's the issues I'm having: the keyboard is next to destroyed. The buttons barely respond, and when they do, it's random letters that type, and they type without me pressing anything. I asked him about replacing the keyboard and what that may cost me. He told me that replacing the keyboard would mean replacing the logic board because they're integrated together, so essentially, that would mean replacing the entire laptop itself. I've been looking on here, and have seen that people offered other uninformed customers to go look for replacement costs for the keyboard, leading me to believe that it is replaceable without replacing the logic board. Can anyone confirm or deny this claim? I would greatly appreciate it. I gave the laptop to the IT department for the weekend. He's going to dry and dry it out over the next few days, so hopefully that works. I don't know what generation macbook this is, but I got it brand new in early October. Thank you very much in advance.

Why? Maybe he's ignorant and/or just didn't care to look into it? IDK
Look at the illustrated installation directions at same site. You may be able to do it yourself.
Overlooking details: with spillage, things can go wrong that aren't immediately apparent. Just something to keep in mind. No one can tell you if that's the case with yours or not.

When word processing, add a "tab" button to the keyboard

I was looking at the layout of the keyboard on the ipad, and while it's useful to have the "go to #" button on both the left and right hand sides, the buttons themselves could be smaller. With the extra space, a tab button (more on the lefthand side) would be really useful when word processing.

I want to change the language without leaving the Creative Cloud.

I want to change the language in some programs like Ps, Ai...
As I can change language without leaving the program? eg from Spanish into English.

I don't think you can change the language in the programs individually, at least you didn't use to be able to. If am wrong I am sure someone here can correct me. You can however change the language for all the programs via the settings in the CC app.
I had a similar need, being a teacher teaching both in the Swedish and English versions of the programs. I simply installed one language on my laptop and the other on my desktop. Maybe won't work for your need, but a tip none the less..

What is the keyboard shortcut for changing dictation language in Yosemite?

I can't find the keyboard shortcuts to change the dictation language in Mac OS X?
I would really appreciate if someone help me with this problem. I work with two languages and I really can't find any way to do that.
Thanks for your help guys

Until the developer can release dictationswitcher compatible with Yosemite, here is an AppleScript that will toggle between two languages. After it switches, it will speak which language has been set. Currently, the spoken text is in English (United States). This script will work on Yosemite and Mavericks. Tested.
What you need to do to get this to work.
Add your alternative language to the Dictation Language pop-up.Set your languages in the AppleScript property strings exactly as they appear in the Dictation Language Menu.
Copy/Paste the following AppleScript into your Script Editor (/Applications/Utilities).
Click the hammer (compile) button
Save once as File format text (dictation.applescript) - don't hide the extension, or check any of the checkboxes.
Option+Save As… File format Application to your Desktop. Hide the extension, and check no other checkboxes.
The first time that you run this application, you will receive a dialog box just like the one below (I changed the name back to dictation):
Click Open System Preferences. Click on the gold lock button in the lower left corner. The Accessibility category will be selected, but the dictation application in the list of apps will be unchecked. Check it, and then click the gold lock again. Quit out of the dictation application on your Desktop, and run it again. If you happen to get another dialog indicating that it still does not have permission, revisit the System Preferences > Security & Privacy panel, and under the Privacy tab > Accessibility, uncheck the dictation application, and then recheck it again. Quit System Preferences. This happened to me, and following this second action allowed it to work properly.
Future releases of OS X may impact this application if Apple changes the order of the UI elements.
I modified this AppleScript from an Apple StackExchange post by qegal in 2012.
Copy/Paste the following AppleScript into your Yosemite Script Editor per the above instructions.
property defaultLang : "English (United States)"
property altLang : "German (Germany)"
-- property altLang : "French (France)"
tell application "System Events" to set p to (path to frontmost application) as string
     tell application "System Preferences"
     activate
          reveal anchor "Dictation" of pane "com.apple.preference.speech"
     end tell
     tell application "System Events"
          tell process "System Preferences"
               tell pop up button 1 of tab group 1 of window "Dictation & Speech"
                    click
                    try
                         if (get value of attribute "AXValue") contains defaultLang then
                             click menu item altLang of menu 1
                             say "Dictation set to " & altLang
                         else if (get value of attribute "AXValue") contains altLang then
                            click menu item defaultLang of menu 1
                            say "Dictation set to " & defaultLang
                         end if
                   on error errmsg number errnbr
                         tell process "System Preferences" to if it is running then quit
                         display alert altLang & "not configured in Dictation Languages, please add." as critical giving up after 10
                   end try
               end tell
       end tell
end tell

You may want to wait for others to see this thread who might offer some other suggestions, but you could consider resetting the password. These instructions work for Lion (10.7.x) and Mountain Lion (10.8.x).
