Hi all! Can you point me to some web page telling me which organization/company (IBM?) decided about the localization of the "standard" keyboards mappings? Background is: for specific locales (Afrikaans, Basque, Catalan, French (all except Switzerland), Galician, Italian, Portuguese (Portugal), Serbian (Latin) and Spanish (all variants)) the keybord mapping (I mean the sign displayed on the key and that what quite all programs get) for the decimal separator displayed on the numpad is wrong! Those locales use a colon as separator while the kbd shows a dot (and outputs it too). Thanx in advance Éric >> Stay informed about: Who decided about kbd mappings? BUG
