German keyboards have to incorporate four more letters: ö, ü, ä and ß. For this reason, the keyboard layout is slightly different to the normal US keyboard layout. And that is annoying - because it is not just the incorporation of different keys.
To start of, the z and y kes are swapped around. So, I often end up with tzping mistakes.
There are also other keys out of position ... ' and " are on different keys (both, have to be used with shift). And I am dreading latex usage on this type of a keyboard; {, [, ], } are all third keys, which are accessed with a combination of alt and a another key.
Forget langauge issues .... getting to grips with the keyboard seems more difficult!

Yeah, I worked with people that used German keyboards, and the z / y key swap always got to me!
