Macbook keyboard language

Hey guys,
I have a little problem. I have an English language macbook white. However I'm going to move to germany in a few months (business related). I will be using my macbook over there but I need some kind of way to get around using german keyboard keys on the macbook. Now I was wondering if there is some kind of 'keyboard silicon skin' that displays german characters that I can just lay down on the keyboard???????
I know there is a skin for final cut pro (http://store.apple.com/us/product/TS331VC/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1Mg&mco=MjQyNTgyNg#over view) but is there any way to find something like that for language keys????????

My question is I want to buy MacBook Pro special specifications but found several languages at the option of the keyboard I want a picture if you choose the keyboard language is Arabic as well please, I want a picture of the plate you include the keyboard letters in Arabic, English or Arabic only together?

The only photo I could find of a 'genuine' Apple Arabic keyboard (NOT a keyboard cover/skin):
It's from an older MacBook, it looks like, but I imagine that the MacBook Pro keybaord would be similar.

If i configure my macbook pro with arabic keyboard language options will it come with english option?

if i configure my mac book pro with Arabic keyboard language options will it come with English option?

Yes, if it did not have English on the keys as well you would not be able to type any email or web addresses.

Keyboard language change with Apple Care Protection Plan?

If I get the Apple Care Protection Plan for a Mid-2011 MacBook Pro 13-inch, can I change my keyboard language?
I understand that it is unibody, but if they can just swap it, that will be great, just wondering.

No, I mean the actual layout. the shapes and the locations of each keyboard is different if you compare the Japan and US layout. My dad has a US keyboard, and I have a Japan keyboard, and if you compare them, there are significant differences, such as the enter/return key is bigger, space bar is and delete key are smaller, and is missing the option key on the right of the space bar for the Japan layout, while the US layout has the opposite. The locations of some other keys are different, such as the caps key, fn key, and control key. I am used to the US layout so I want this changed.

I get redirected to a different site based either on my locale, keyboard language or product language. How can I prevent this from happening

There are several sites that I access where I type in www.xxxxx.com or support.mozilla.com expecting to get the American site but due either to my "locale" which is set to Germany or my "Keyboard Language" which is set to German, I get automatically redirected to the German site. As all my software is in English but I have a German Laptop, I wish to go to the English sites. Conversely there are sites where I type in www.xxxx.de wishing to go to the German site, but get re-directed to the UK Site because my software is in English. Many of these sites then allow you to chose the country you want thereby correcting this behaviour, but unfortunately there are a host of sites whose programmers have not foreseen the need for this and the sites are thus unreachable. An example of this is www.proidee.de which automatically redirects me to the UK Site.
What I am looking for is some way to prevent these sites from imposing their will over my decisions. I see this as a direct infringement of my rights.

Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:

* [http://www.superantispyware.com/ SUPERAntiSpyware]
* [http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Ad-Aware]
* [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/defender/default.mspx Windows Defender]
* [http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html Spybot S&D]
If the above malware scanners do not find any malware or can not clear it, you should consider posting in one of these forums for specialized malware removal help:

How to change the keyboard language by code

I'm building a user interface for my application, some of the fields are in arabic and others are in English, I want to change the keyboard language according to the fields the cursor in, I tried to send KeyEvent once the cursor entered the text field. [[ KeyEvent ev = new KeyEvent(this, KeyEvent.KEY_RELEASED, 1, KeyEvent.ALT_DOWN_MASK, KeyEvent.VK_SHIFT, KeyEvent.CHAR_UNDEFINED,KeyEvent.KEY_LOCATION_RIGHT); ]] but it didn't work! could any body help me please?

Locale is already setted.
Keyboard has toggle button(key) to switch input-mode between english and

Is there any idea to do this?

New feature request: Having the possibility to use different keyboard language on multiple monitors.

I would love to see a new feature to allow the use of different keyboard language on multiple monitors with the same desktop mac.
Ex.: On dual monitor desktop, use english keyboard on the left screen and french keyboard on the right screen.
So I wouldn't have to switch keyboard language all the time!
Thanks.

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

IPhone SMS - request for additional keyboard language

I live in South Africa .
Vodacom has rolled out the 3G iPhone here through Vodafone.
I am writing to you as one of 3 million+ people who speak Afrikaans.
Please can you add Afrikaans to the iPhone keyboard language ?
I write all my smses in Afrikaans and am forced to switch off the keyboard language , as Afrikaans isnt there. This is very frustrating and I would love to be able to type as fast on a iPhone as advertised. Ive seen the video showing how great the iPhone keyboard works but can unfortionately not experiance it for myself.
Please Apple , hear my cry .. Add Afrikaans to your iPhone Language selection in future updates.
