The basic German keyboard swaps Y and Z.  (I know someone from Germany 
with both a Y and a Z in her name but she learned to type while spending 
a year as an exchange student in the States.)  Otherwise, no differences 
between that and the QUERTY keyboard.  The non-letter keys are somewhat 
different.  The French keyboard is very different.
