==Check the Internationalization File==
{{Merge|Customizing NAND images}}

*In a terminal, type: cat /home/olpc/.i18n
*The i18n file will look something like:
     LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
*Usually, LANG="{two letter ISO language code}_{two letter ISO country code}.UTF-8".  The country code is only used if there are multiple countries with that language.  Use <tt>locale -a</tt> for a complete list of legal values [http://www.bcpl.net/~j1m5path/isocodes.html country codes]

See [[Olpc-utils]] for implementation details.

== Check the keyboard mappings ==
{{Merge|Customizing NAND images}}

*In a terminal, type: cat /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
*The keyboard file will look something like:
     KEYTABLE="us"
     XKB_MODEL="olpc"
     XKB_LAYOUT="us"
     XKB_VARIANT="olpc"
*The <tt>XKB_LAYOUT="{two letter ISO country code}</tt> is the two letter country code of the laptop. [http://www.bcpl.net/~j1m5path/isocodes.html country codes]
*Changing this will change the keyboard mapping that the laptop uses.
*The <tt>KEYTABLE</tt> is the keymap for the Linux text console.  It supports fewer keyboards than X11.  The complete list is in   <tt>/lib/kbd/keymaps</tt>.
*You can create a file /home/olpc/.kbd with per-user overrides of the system defaults.

See [[Olpc-utils]] for implementation details.



{{Developers}}
The following procedures are only applicable to laptops that have developer keys (Please see [[Activation and Developer Keys]]).

==Check the manufacturing Data==
(information that comes with the laptop, and should state what language it should be in)
*Boot into the ok prompt
*type: .mfg-data
*next to LA should be the code for the three letter country code of the laptop

==Changing mfg data (with q2c27a only)==

You can't easily do this with the firmware we make available to the public, though the ''[[tag editing]]'' page does explain how.

# Install special firmware 
# Reboot holding the X game button and then hit escape to get to the OK prompt
# Type 'change-tag TN <value string>' where TN is the two letter tag and value string is the new value

  Example: change-tag LA RUS
   (changes the laptop to russian)
