Setting alternative keyboard layout in Kubuntu.

[Hans dinsen-hansen]

Thank you so much.  I found the right selections.  I have the problem
that when I think computers, I think English, and my wife's laptop
speaks German.  What is e.g. "layout" called in German ("Belegung"!).
I do not even know a Danish word for layout.  Even if Danish is  my
home-language.
