Activating translations and regional support
To activate a specific translation, boot using locale=ll_CC.UTF-8 as a boot option, where ll_CC.UTF-8 is the locale name you want. To aciviate a given keyboard layout, use the keyb=KB option where KB is the wanted keyboard layout. More information on this feature is available from the live cd build script documentation. Here is a list of commonly used locale codes:
