Language, keyboard and mouse

Change the interface language and input, and check the number pad.

Change the interface language

Open the settings and the Input, language & time section. There you can choose between Deutsch and English for the desktop interface.

The interface language, the keyboard layout and the language of individual programs are separate settings. An English interface does not mean you have to use an English keyboard layout.

Keyboard and pointing devices

In the Input section, check the keyboard settings and the options for mouse and touchpad. If Z and Y are swapped or special characters are in a different place, check the keyboard layout first.

The number pad does not type numbers

First press the Num Lock key. Then check whether the problem only occurs in one app or everywhere. This guide does not assume a guaranteed automatic Num Lock state after a restart; the behavior also depends on the keyboard and the session.
