We don't have localization projects for Uzbek or Kazakh. Should we start them? Looking at the table, I also see Armenian, for which there is no localization. Should we start it? Also, the table specifies a Russian Cyrillic keyboard for Ukrainian, which is a serious error. "Note that many langauge/region variants can share a common keyboard, e.g., Russian (ru_RU) and Ukrainian (uk_UA) both use the Cyrillic keyboard, but will need different SKUs to accommodate the different language settings on the laptop." Not so. Ukrainian requires the letters Ї U+0407 ї U+0457 Ґ U+0490 ґ U+0491 which don't occur in Russian.

I can put you in touch with people who know way more about these issues than anybody here. > Thanks, > Kim > > > > On Mon, Apr 21, 2008 at 7:49 PM, Walter Bender <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > Actually, I don't recall ever approving a Turkish keyboard...
