If you change your firmware region, what happens to the keyboard region?

Hi all

Has anybody changed their tablet's firmware to that of a different region which has a different keyboard layout? If so, did the keyboard layout continue to match the markings on the keys?

Alternatively, can anybody confirm if all keyboard layouts are listed somewhere in the settings, and you can choose which keyboard layout you want to use regardless of what is printed on the keys?

Thanks!

Keyboard layouts should not have anything to do with your tablet region but with what language you've chosen as default language for that said keyboard. It's something you can change within the language and keyboard setting.

OK, great. Thanks so much for the confirmation! I've not used an Android tablet with a keyboard since Ice Cream Sandwich was the latest release, and that didn't include any keyboard language settings that I can remember. (Although saying that, I never looked for them as I had a US tablet and keyboard, so I didn't need them.) So I really wasn't sure how this would work.

Thanks so much for the info!
