The <span class="guilabel">Keyboard Layout</span> option allows you to change the layout of the keyboard. For example to switch to an *AZERTY* keyboard which is common in France.
The <span class="guilabel">Formats</span> option allows you to change the date and time format, first day of the week, measurement units, and default paper size according to the standards in use in a country.
With this option you can also display the calendar in a different language than the main language. For example, to display a US calendar, with weeks starting on Sunday, when the main language is Russian.
