- <p>Describe keyboard layouts. Might need to be split into
- multiple tasks/explanations.</p>
- </comment>
+ <p>Keyboards come in hundreds of different layouts for different languages.
+ Even for a single language, there are often multiple keyboard layouts, such
+ as the Dvorak layout for English. You can make your keyboard behave like a
+ keyboard with a different layout, regardless of the letters and symbols
+ printed on the keys. This is useful if you often switch between multiple
+ languages.</p>
+
+ <steps>
+ <item><p>Click your name in the top bar and select <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p></item>
+ <item><p>Click <gui>Region and Language</gui>.</p></item>
+ <item><p>Select the <gui>Layouts</gui> tab.</p></item>
+ <item><p>Click the <gui>+</gui> button, select a layout, and click <gui>Add</gui>.</p></item>
+ </steps>
+
+ <note style="sidebar">
+ <p>You can preview an image of any layout by selecting it in the list and clicking
+ <gui><media type="image" src="figures/system-run.png" width="16" height="16">preview</media></gui>,
+ or by clicking <gui>Preview</gui> in the popup window when adding a layout.</p>
+ </note>
+
+ <p>When you add multiple layouts, you can quickly switch between them using
+ the keyboard layout icon in the top bar. The top bar will display a short
+ string identifying the current layout, such as <gui>en</gui> for the standard
+ English layout. Click the layout indicator and select the layout you want to
+ use from the menu.</p>
+
+ <p>When you use multiple layouts, you can choose to have all windows use the
+ same layout or to set a different layout for each window. Using a different
+ layout for each window is useful, for example, if you're writing an article
+ in another language in a word processor window. Your keyboard selection will
+ be remembered for each window as you switch between windows.</p>
+
+ <p>By default, new windows will use the default keyboard layout. You can
+ instead choose to have them use the layout of the window you were last
+ using. The default layout is the layout at the top of the list. Use the
+ <gui>â??</gui> and <gui>â??</gui> buttons to move layouts up and down in
+ the list.</p>
