[Localization] localized or "international" keyboard ?

[Yama Ploskonka]

zut alors :-)

For a one-on-one, a USB keyboard will work, which I am sure you have 
thought of, but I am aware, it¡s not at all the solution. (the one I 
tried here didn't work too well, so I am not too enthusiastic in 
vouching for it either)

Will keep working, trying to solve this as I did with Solar, because the 
problem is too big and at the same time too small for OLPC corporate...
