language identifiers
The original Microsoft.com page
listing the language identifiers is unfortunately no
longer available, so I'm replicating the most important
data here. You may see the original page on archive.org.
To set the keyboard ID to a
specific value, put a $ sign in front of the language
identifier, e.g.
KeyboardID=$0409
for English (en), United States (US).
