Dear Pema,

Are all messages in the Keyboard Preferences in English?
The user interface messages come from gnome-applets (sub-module 
gswitchit), and is part of the main gnome-applets.
However, the content of the Keyboard Preferences such as country names,
keyboard shortcuts and so on belong to a different project, 
"xkeyboard-config",
found at 
http://translation.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/registry.cgi?domain=xkeyboard-config
You will notice that there is a PO file for xkeyboard-config.

There is an additional issue with xkeyboard-config, in that it does not 
use a MO file (a compiled version of the PO file).
In the xkeyboard-config package there are scripts that take all 
xkeyboard-config PO files
and merge them together in a big XML file that contains all translations.
What this means for you is that if you translate xkeyboard-config and 
you want to test it,
you will need to regenerate the big XML file so that it all works.

Hope this helps,
Simos Xenitellis
