Localizations

Keyboard layout can be changed in setup (Delete at startup prompt); choice of AZERTY, QWERTY, QWERTZU. The DotEmu version does not show this prompt (see setup fix).
The game language is chosen with the number pad keys, not the regular number keys; for keyboards without a dedicated number pad use Fn and the appropriate symbol.
