Instructions for setting up keyboard switching in Terminal are on the Customizing NAND images page. On bilingual XOs, the multiplication/division key is replaced with a keyboard switching key.

Changing the language of the keyboard is independent of changing the language currently displayed. The language currently displayed can be changed by using the Language section of the Sugar Control Panel.

a SweetXOGrannie project "I am working on a very simple, easy to make, inexpensive XO keyboard overlay for TamTam that can be made in classroom quantities for about $1-$2 each (or less for larger quantities). No electronics are required. Just a few simple supply items, scissors, glue, a computer with a printer and an iron. Of course, I will share it with everyone, if and when I get it "perfected." This will also be adaptable for other machines running TamTam from SoaS, live CD, Virtual Box, etc." File:Musickeyboard.png
