Yes, the plan is to be able to choose different keyboards using the Calendar options popup. However, this involves extending the number of keys on the popup which will also affect the format of the keyboard file. So, while the potential is there, the actual implementation of alternate keyboards might take a while.

However, for people like yourself who build your own PRS+, you can modify the western.kbd file and put in your own characters. This will then be loaded when the Calendar starts. (Note that if this file is missing, Calendar just loads the regular western keyboard anyway! So it is not strictly required, I just did it this way so that people could do their own keyboards.)

It should be obvious how the file works. There are basically 4 "pages" of characters, 2 for letters and 2 for symbols, with SHIFT to switch between the lower and uppercase letters, and the 2 symbol pages. You will quickly find, however, that there is only room for 26 characters each on the four different "pages". This is why we need to extend the number of keys on the popup. In the meantime, you will need to sacrifice some of the symbol keys for any extra letters your language requires.

Hope this helps!

Sincerely,
Ben.
I had already modified this file to create one with the characters i want to use.

thanks
