I have the same problem... Generaly using a german keyboard
which allow me DE, EN, FR, ES, IT, TR AR and FA...
Going to some arabic contry where the second Language is
english I am lost...
In the Maghreb (Morocco, Algeria, Tunesia) they are working
with french keyboards which are nice too but I do not like it.
I like to have a Holo-Keyboard ;-) or at least one, which
can change the visible characters on the caps... (Yes, they
exist already... haveing little 256-Color LCD's on each cap)
I use <Super_L> plus <AltGR> or <Shift> to switch keyboard
layouts on the fly)
