Hello Peter,

Concerning language : a language might be used in more than one country with slight local differences ( German : Austria, Switzerland, Germany and the principalities Liechtenstein and Luxemburg )
Concerning keyboard layout : in multilingual countries like Switzerland ( German, French , Italian and further Roman languages), there might be a necessity to use an other keyboard layout than in Austria ... or simply a tradition since the days of typewriters.
Programmers keyboard : I don't exactly know; maybe there are supplemental keys. I didn't notice any difference, when selecting it with my ordinary keyboard.
Latin1 ( with/without deadkeys ) : a deadkey holds an accent. To set an accent, you hit the accent key (nothing happens) and then you hit the letter ... the letter arises with the accent. Since some accents are used as standalone marks in programming languages, it might be annoying, when you always need to hit two keys (space bar as second) for a single sign. "No deadkeys" is the solution.

It's easier and safer to use a running wheel than to reinvent it.
