--- Comment #7 from Leslie Satenstein lsatenstein@yahoo.com --- I am in Québec Canada, and since I use English, some Spanish and much French, my keyboard layout is Canada French.
With Gnome, there is no issue, I just go to keyboard and set up the layout, and to region and language, and setup the language and keyboard layout.
With many of the Remixes, eg, Deepin, Mate, etc, (my favoured language interface is the default English language, but the Keyboard layout I chose, the Canada French keyboard layout is not listed or the default. The default is American English.
To set it up with the Deepin and other Remixes, I had to set the region/language to French, and then I could search and find the French keyboard layout. which now appeared in the list. I chose my Canadian French layout, and exited. I rebooted and on my first logon, everything was in French, (mostly). I used the gnome settings to reset the region/language to Canadian English (favor -->favour, neighbor -->neighbour) and rebooted. Deepin now works in Canadian English with my Canadian French keyboard layout. Mate and the others need the same tender loving care.
A good fix would be to have each remix show the entire list of keyboard layouts, irrespective of the chosen "user interface language".
