[Localization] Problem configuring Khmer as default keyboard

Hi Tim

Thanks fro the input. I am working together with the PAN Localization 
team (Hour and Heng) to get the Khmer keyboard working.

I am not sure, but I think it is not a problem related to Khmer. Maybe 
it is an XO keyboard switch problem. Searching in the Internet, I 
couldn't find a keyboard file configuring another than the us keyboard 
as default.

Do you know a deployment that uses the keyboard switch and has the local 
keyboard as default?

Regards,
Philipp
