I peeked at the Kindle file system and noticed that /usr/share/keyboard also contains keyboard layouts and predictive text databases for Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and Korean. I wanted to check out the keyboard layouts chosen by Amazon and updated /var/local/system/keyboard.conf and replaced the existing version with my version, which looks like this:
However, it appears that the Kindle overwrote my file when I selected the Search icon from the home screen. Is there another file that I need to update as well or are the keyboard languages hard-coded?
