Hi Wendy, Do you just want to change your keyboard layout from US to UK or your complete language localization? Also, do you want to be able to switch to a UK keyboard or make that your sole (default) keyboard? The difference between just using a UK keyboard (and not a UK localization) is that your spell checker and grammar checker (if you use them) will still use US English conventions.
To add a UK input keyboard, go to the International Menu under System Preferences, navigate to the Input Menu tab, and check the box for your input language in the table. I'll use VO as a shortcut meaning press the VoiceOver Control and Option keys. VO-M means press Control, Option, and M keys, etc.: 1. VO-M to the menu bar Apple Menu 2. Arrow down and press "s y" to go to "System Preferences" and press enter 3. In the System Preferences window tab (or VO-Right Arrow) to the International menu and select it with VO-Space 4. VO-Right Arrow to the "Input Menu" tab and press it (VO-Space) 5. VO-Right Arrow to the table of keyboard inputs and interact (VO- Shift-Down arrow) 6. VO-Right Arrow to the second column, which lists the name of the selected keyboard; then VO-Down Arrow to "British". (The entries are alphabetic after Character entries for palette and Chinese/Japanese/ Korean inputs, and "British is a little more than 40 key presses down.) 7. VO-Left Arrow to the first check box column and us VO-Space to check the entry for "British" 8. Stop interacting with the table (VO-Shift Up Arrow) 9. VO-Right Arrow to the check box for "Show input menu in menu bar" and check it with VO-Space 10. Close the International preferences menu with Command-W 11. To select the British keyboard, press VO-M twice to navigate to the status menu bar. VO-Right Arrow to the Text Input menu, then arrow down to select "British" and press enter.
