There is also:

4. People who create accounts for additional users

In that scenario the tools that create accounts need to be modified to
have a place to set the user's language and keyboard.

This is a _legal_ issue in certain multilingual countries where it's
unacceptable for a user to login to the wrong language and keyboard and
try and find a control panel setting to change the default.
