Wait, Jolla is that popular that 470 millions of Spanish people are using Jolla and all want this TOHKBD?

Sadly for latinamericans no. By the moment, only in Spain could buy Jolla, so we are not so much...yet.

We only need these symbols added: Opening question and exclamation marks "¿", "¡", the acute (for making áéíóú), the umlaut (for making "ü") that I see azerty keyboard has in the "+" key and the ñ (that usually is on the key on the right of "L"). And I see there are space for adding it in some keys.

That's a total of 5 symbols. ¿Couldn't be done a qwerty valid for spanish and english? Symbol order in number's line usually changes in spanish keyboards, but that is not as important, and morover, lot of people consider english order for symbols is better.

I just sawn there is another two symbols in spanish keyboards, but they are not as important: "º" and "ª", wich are the equivalent to english "st"(first) for masculine and feminine respectively (and for second, third, fourth... in spanish the symbol are always these). And Catalonians use "ç" and "Ç", that's another letter for an smaller group, but could be great to have (altought I am not catalonian and don't use that symbol).

So well, there are 8 symbols to add if possible. Or 7 for complete spanish. Or 5 would be enought.

Thanks for all your input, but I cannot do anything with this!

Please use THIS THREAD for all you keyboard layout problems and:
- do research
- come up with a solution
- make sure it is well funded
- provide pictures/layouts/whatever

I do not have the time nor the energy to solve your puzzle.

Alternatively - mentioned lots of times:

we will however share all files to adjust your keyboard to your liking in your local laser-engraving shop, that will give the same finish.

dirkvl: Maybe its been mentioned in the thread, but its 36 pages now so its easier to simply ask (at least its not on post #1).
How many units do you aim for? Do you think you will do several batches?

I am more than interested, but I'm wondering how quick one has to be in order to get one.

@malkavian: But the problem is that everyone uses different languages even on English adapted keyboards. For example, I use Dutch, English and German as my 3 main languages. So I should ask for a English variant that has German on it as well (considering that German is more used than Dutch throughout the world)?

You can't please everyone, so my opinion is that it's best to now focus on what can be done for an initial batch to please the most people. There are very Spanish speaking Jolla users atm so English, German and French are IMHO more important since Jolla is available in more countries where those languages are spoken (or close variants thereof).
