[Bug 90832] Re: Make sure US keyboard layout is always available as an alternative?

[Jacob Popov]

Actually, this problem is quite severe for languages that are not using the Latin alphabet, e.g., Russian or Ukrainian.
I found a simple and nice solution:
We need to modify /usr/lib/ubiquity/localechooser/languagelist

E.g., the string for Russian language looks like this
ru;2;RU;UTF-8;ru_RU.UTF-8;;console-setup
Replace this with
ru;2;RU;UTF-8;ru_RU.UTF-8;ru:en;console-setup
and that fixes the issue for Russian language only, remaining the rest intact.
However, I've tested this to do the trick for the installed system, but I'm not quite sure it works for the Live CD session too.
