That could then be "Please select the layout you intend to use on this machine"....which entirely disconnects the choice from the hardwired keyboard. You're right: sometimes users choose layouts that have nothign to do with the layout that's printed on the physical keyboard (hint: Dvorak). > > > + keyboard layout, such as foreign currency symbols and accented letters. > > + These are often printed as a third symbol on keys. > > This is the third symbol of the key but I think in most cases it is not > the third symbol printed on the keys.

In order to avoid being too vague...or too detailed, we could then mention something like "These often appear as an additionnal symbol printed on the key". > > + This package can be useful for > > + handhelds or other devices with small storage space. > > . > > - This package supports only UTF-8.

Altgr is not supported for the non-latin languages. This package is not meant for general use. It has several limitations: no UTF-8 support, no possibility for users to choose the console font, no multiple layout combinations and no support for AltGr for non Latin keymaps.
