As an added bonus, flipping the switch to German would swap Y & Z on the
keyboard...nice when you're trying to type something in and "yes" shows up
as "zes" istead.  Not. :-| This would suggest that the keyboard encoder ROM
(?) might also need replacement along with the character generator ROM.

(The keyboard was marked with both character sets, with foreign-language
characters in the upper right corner and ASCII characters in the upper left
and lower left corners.)
