Well physically, Swedish and Finnish keyboards are exactly the same. Many vendors do label their keyboards for the Swedish market as "Swe/Fi", "Swedish/Finnish" or something similar. Other do have different labels even though the actual keyboards do not differ.
Look at IBM for instance, a well reputed hardware vendor: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/globalization/topics/keyboards/KBD285.jsp http://www-306.ibm.com/software/globalization/topics/keyboards/KBD153.jsp Actually Swedish is one of the official languages of Finnland and Sweden and Finnland have historical bonds that may not remind all of a happy past but that still may make sense for keeping the same physical layout for those two countries. And since many memories are quite bad having two names also is a sensible solution, even if it stirs up confusion for computer users. -- Installer detects Finnish keyboard instead of Swedish https://launchpad.net/bugs/35611 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
